About this ebook

"I've had many faces. Many lives. I don't admit to all of them. There's one life I've tried very hard to forget-the Doctor who fought in the Time War."

     The Great Time War has raged for centuries, ravaging the universe. The Daleks and the Time Lords deploy ever more dangerous weapons in desperate attempts at victory, but there is no end in sight.
     On the outer rim of the Tantalus Eye, scores of human colony planets are now overrun by Dalek occupation forces. A weary, angry Doctor leads a flotilla of Battle TARDISes against the Dalek stronghold but in the midst of the carnage, the Doctor's TARDIS crashes to a planet below: Moldox.
     As the Doctor is trapped in an apocalyptic landscape, Dalek patrols roam amongst the wreckage, rounding up the remaining civilians. But why haven't the Daleks simply killed the humans?
     Searching for answers, the Doctor meets 'Cinder', a young Dalek hunter. Their struggles to discover the Dalek plan take them from the ruins of Moldox to the halls of Gallifrey and set in chain events that will change everything. And everyone.

My first Doctor Who book. :D The definitive War Doctor novel for fans who wish to experience the horrors of the Time War. My first reading of a Doctor Who novel showed me the beginning of the War Doctor's drive to end both Daleks and Time Lords. The reader will experience a thrilling tale showing the utter depravity of both warring civilizations who's actions lead The War Doctor to having enough and vowing the two words "No More".

Everything you expect from Dr. Who., one small twist and not a very original ending. But still a good fun read.

Wow... I never expected such a dark story. Doctor Who novels are neutral by design, but this work is worthy of film. Not that it ends a continuum.... But brings to focus the horror and cruelty of what war really is ... The death of one's soul.
