Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By (Hardback)
Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By
Hardback Released 29th September 2011
The Doctor battles his old enemies, the Ice Warriors – in a special holiday themed adventure
For centuries the Maintainers have worked. With no help from other worlds, they subsist on the food they can grow and that’s little enough.
But their purpose, their whole life is to maintain the machines that will one day make their world as habitable as old Earth.
Life used to be hard. Now as their crops fail, livestock sickens, and the temperature drops, it’s becoming impossible.
This year’s Winter Season Feast won’t be the usual celebration. It’s not a time for optimism or hope – and it’s not a time to welcome unexpected guests. The Doctor, Amy and Rory find a society breaking apart under the strain. Tensions are mounting, old rivalries are coming to the fore, people are dying…
And then the Doctor’s old enemies the Ice Warriors make their move. With the cold-hearted threat of invasion, the real battle for survival begins. Or does it? The Doctor begins to suspect that behind everything lies a deadlier, and even more chilling danger…
A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Doctor, Amy and Rory, as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television.

July 3rd, 2011 - 11:31amIt may look strange if they are in the show and get redesigned
booboo
July 3rd, 2011 - 9:49pmyes, some things should stay as they are
Anonymous
July 29th, 2011 - 12:08pmApparently the design team “hate” the Ice Warriors and would change it completely so the writers are avoiding them until they can be sure they wouldn’t get ruined.

hath57
July 2nd, 2011 - 6:28pmWill these be once a year? Cause last year we had The Coming of the Terraphiles, and this year this. I hope they do more like The Coming, because that was brilliant! And this will probably be better!
DoctorWho4Eva
July 3rd, 2011 - 9:38ami don’t think ‘The Coming of the Terraphiles’ was all that good but lets hoep this one is better. Let’s hope it’s cool! 😀

July 2nd, 2011 - 1:48pmIhe ice warriors were always favourites of mine from the classic years, I loved the recent big finish 8th Dr/ice warrior stories so this novel is a must for me.
tony

jordan
July 2nd, 2011 - 8:22amive heard in series 6 the last episode omaga returns is it possible booboo ???
booboo
July 2nd, 2011 - 8:29amits just a rumour but its possible
Justininferno
July 2nd, 2011 - 8:50amIt is not possible. I met Omegas creator, Bob Baker and he told me that he had not been approached by the BBC for use of his character. This is just an internet fan rumour. Omega is not returning.
Skaro
July 2nd, 2011 - 10:20amBut bob could lie to make the return a suprise
daleksean
July 3rd, 2011 - 12:52pmthe cybermen are in the last episode
Simon
July 3rd, 2011 - 1:23pmActually, the Cybermen are in Episode 12. It’s other monsters in 13…I’m staying Silent on which though…

July 3rd, 2011 - 1:59pmyep the cybermen are in Ep.12 but don’t know about Ep.13 you might be right Simon
james

King Ninja
July 2nd, 2011 - 12:38amShould have been an episode. Still! Bet it’s a great book!
DoctorWho4Eva

D0ct0r11

The Watcher
July 1st, 2011 - 10:06pmThis is brillaint! What more could you want, Smith’s Doctor vs the Ice Warriors!

I always wanted to Zygons, Sea devils and ice warriors return, oh and sutekh
james
July 1st, 2011 - 9:11pmbut there has been a book with the zygons in it with marther remenber
booboo
July 1st, 2011 - 9:13pmTrue
Skaro
July 1st, 2011 - 10:26pmBut it could be better with krynoid pods that turn into krynoids and the zygote book is rubbish
DoctorWho4Eva
July 3rd, 2011 - 9:42amoh BooBoo, i think a book with Sutekh in it would be awesome.
booboo
July 3rd, 2011 - 9:43amyes, although i would love to see him return in an episode
Skaro
