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.

    It may look strange if they are in the show and get redesigned

      Apparently 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.

    Will 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!

    Ihe 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.

      It 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.

      July 2nd, 2011 - 10:20am

      But bob could lie to make the return a suprise

      I always wanted to Zygons, Sea devils and ice warriors return, oh and sutekh

    • james

      July 1st, 2011 - 9:11pm

      but there has been a book with the zygons in it with marther remenber

    • booboo

      True

    • Skaro

      July 1st, 2011 - 10:26pm

      But it could be better with krynoid pods that turn into krynoids and the zygote book is rubbish

    • DoctorWho4Eva

      July 3rd, 2011 - 9:42am
