Publisher Description

This is the Gyre - the most hostile environment in the Galaxy 250,000 years' worth of junk floating in deep space, home to the shipwrecked Sittuun, the carnivorous Sollogs, and worst of all - the Humans.

The Doctor and Amy arrive on this terrifying world in the middle of an all-out frontier war between Sittuun and Humans, and the countdown has already started. There's a comet in the sky, and it's on a collision course with the Gyre . . .

When the Doctor is kidnapped, it's up to Amy and 'galaxy-famous swashbuckler' Dirk Slipstream to save the day.

But who is Slipstream, exactly? And what is he really doing here?

A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Doctor and Amy, as played by Matt Smith and Karen Gillan in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television.

"This book was really enjoyable. While some of the other who books I read (all Ten) have a really good characterization of Ten--Eleven in this book was still being developed which is interesting and good at the same time because this presumable takes place right after The Beast Below as there are mentions of Amy running around on a ship in her nightie. I enjoyed that, bringing in little mentions of the previous adventures to give the reader a time line. It was also interesting to see mentions of past experiences of the Doctor like with Slipstream, it's not clear when the Doctor met him but he did and there was a past there. With the Doctor traveling around the universe and time as much as he does it's surprising he doesn't run into the same people a lot of the time. The nanties reminded me of the nanogenes that were introduced in The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances but with the opposite effect of deconstructing instead of making new. As morbid as it sounds I like that the Doctor couldn't save the 'Human's' they were too enraptured with their own fake history that they probably wouldn't have surprised on the real Earth anyways. But his reaction to losing them was an interesting one, and one we still don't really grasp even after Jamal said he saved billions more people than he realized."

    " Decent story, decent characters, nothing overly special. I would give it 3 stars but for Arthur Darvill's wonderful story-reading skills that I never knew he had. He can do so many voices that don't even sound like him!!! I only wish Rory had been in the story too, not just Amy and The Doctor. So... not a bad book overall. "

    " Wasn't the best one because I thought the humans in it were a bit weird, what with the "devolution" but the concept was cool. Not as time-travelly as the others though. "

    " Wonderful book. The dialog sounds just like an episode of the show. (view spoiler)[Having the humans be the bad guys was a very neat twist. (hide spoiler)] The imagery is fantastic. Had it not been a "Doctor Who" story, it still would have been a great book. "

    " This was a good story with an interesting look at the definition of 'alien' depending on your perspective. The characters were IC re the televised episodes. An enjoyable read but not a 'must have own copy'. "

    " An unusual story with the humans being the enemy with a truly alien type setting, that has hints of Earth. It does feel like a Tv show storyline and all the characters act how you expect them to. An ok read. "

    " This book shows the early relationship of Amy and The Doctor. I do not see how well Amy knows The Doctor in such a short time. Also Amy is still in her night gown so I think this is before Starship UK. "

    " New Doctor, new format to the book, new (and horrible!) logo...Nice interactions between the Doctor and Amy, which rang true (the "high five" bit was particularly well done) but the story was only so-so. It gets a little philosophical at the end, which was unusual but a nice touch. "
