Publisher Description

Neve McIntosh reads this original adventure by J. T. Colgan, featuring the Eleventh Doctor

On a windswept northern shore, at the very tip of what will one day become Scotland, the islanders believe the worst they have to fear is a Viking attack. Then the burning comes. They cannot run from it. Water will not stop it. It consumes everything—yet the burned still speak.

The Doctor is looking for a game on the famous Lewis chess set. Instead he encounters a people under attack from a power they cannot possibly understand. They have no weapons, no strategy, and no protection against a fire sent to engulf them. Add in some marauding Vikings with very bad timing, a kidnapped princess with a secret of her own, and a TARDIS that seems to have developed an inexplicable fear of water and they all have a battle on their hands. The islanders must take on a ruthless alien force in a world without technology, without communications, without tea that isn’t made out of bark. Still, at least they have the Doctor on their side—don’t they?

A thrilling adventure featuring the Doctor as played by Matt Smith in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television.

"For being my 1st doctor who book, I loved it! it kept a good pace and very much seemed just like an episode of doctor who. I'd recommend starting with the shorts if you haven't read any who books, then moving onto these. just to get a feel of them but if your a fan it shouldn't matter."

    " In this Doctor Who novel, the Doctor is travelling on his own and goes to Viking times, and interacts with the aurora borealis. It was okay, but it didn't have enough good Doctor-y lines, and just not enough of the Doctor altogether - it veered to the other characters points of view too much. "
