Starfall: a world on the edge, where crooks and smugglers hide in the gloomy shadows and modern technology refuses to work. And that includes the TARDIS. The pioneers who used to be drawn by the hope of making a fortune from the mines can find easier picking elsewhere. But they still come... for the romance of it, or old-fashioned organic mining. Or in the hope of finding the lost treasure of Hamlek Glint, scourge of the spaceways, privateer, adventurer, bandit.
Will the TARDIS ever work again? Is Glint's lost treasure waiting to be found? And does the fabled Resurrection Casket, the key to eternal life, really exist? With the help of new friends, and to the horror of new enemies, the Doctor and Rose aim to find out.
Featuring the Doctor and Rose as played by David Tennant and Billie Piper in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television. Written by Justin Richards. Read by David Tennant. Includes author interview by David Darlington of Doctor Who Magazine.

"A pirate story in the Whoniverse. Very well written and I had the impression the author really likes the idea of pirates and gave it his everything. It's an exciting and humorous story, but it has one main negative aspect: too many characters. At some point I couldn't remember properly who was who and how they fit into the story." — Uliamos (4 out of 5 stars)

" Not my favorite Who book that I've had the pleasure to come across, but still fun. "
" Pirates, treasure and the Doctor, oh my. Great story with a twist at the end. "
" Pirates. Robot pirates. Steampunk robot pirates. Steampunk robot pirates IN SPACE. "
" I love Doctor Who so I decided to try out the book. Well it was great! Let me just tell you that you have to have a sharp mind for scifi and sort of understand the show but this book is just like an episode. "
" Brilliant book. I fell in love with it within the first chapter. "
" It was alright, bit tooooo pirate-y....Still loved it :D "
" Mmm, audiobook read by David Tennant. The story was pretty fun too. "
" The Doctor battles steam-powered robot space pirates. What's not to like? "
" I loved the way the plot turned out in this one. Space pirate robots...the Doctor and Rose adventuring together...and a monster named Kevin! And read by David Tennant! Oh my. "
" This book was a barrel of fun- who can resist 10, Rose, and Space pirates? Not me. "
" i loved everything about this book there are great twists and its very heartfelt in certain places and the characters are captured brilliantly in the book.you can feel the drs love for Rose and visa versa in all these "
" Enjoyable story that had the feel of "Treasure Island" in space with a Time Lord in tow. "
" Ah, Rose and the Doctor and pirates on spaceships. What's not to love? "
" I only got part one from a charity shop so I don't know what happens after Roise hides in the cupboard. "
" First one of the doctor who books I have actually really enjoyed. "
" Not as good as The Stone Rose, but still a fun story. And as always, David Tennant reads wonderfully, giving each character a voice of their own to bring the words to life. "
" This was definitely not my favorite in the Doctor Who: New Series Adventures. Perhaps it was the fact that it was abridged that caused the characters to feel one dimensional, but it made for a fairly boring listen. The climax was also lacking in excitement and the resolution seemed a bit trite. "
" I listened to the audiobook read by David Tennant. The story is fairly good, though I understood what the "Resurrection Casket" did about halfway through the story. The character of Kevin is hilarious in that British sort of way. "
" Amazing just simply amazing oh here partner this book is for yar! "
" It had an interesting story and a satisfying ending, although I think the doctor should just stay away from everything 'pirate' in the future. It's just too cliche. Also, the story was practically a doctor who version of Treasure Planet-even down to the cyborg villain. "
" I think i was a little too young for this when I read it. "
" A Doctor Who take on Treasure Island. David Tennant's narration is enjoyable, but don't pick it up if you're not a fan of the show. "
" My favorite of the Doctor Who books so far. This space pirate plot is full of good twists and turns. In addition, the hairy monster “Kevin” is absolutely hilarious. "
" I like Rose stories, but I'm not a big fan of pirates. I did like the steampunk aspect of the story and how the aliens fit in. Those parts were very clever. "
" die Filme sind aber schon besser =) "
" Steampunk and pirates and space sharks ... oh my!I really liked this story, mostly for the above mentioned things, oh, and Kevin! Kevin was really cool and funny. "
" Good book with greta twist of an ending!! "
