The TARDIS lands in 22nd century Africa in the shadow of a dormant volcano. Agri-teams are growing new foodstuffs in the baking soil to help feed the world's starving millions but the Doctor and Rose detect an alien signal somewhere close by.
When a nightmare force starts surging along the dark volcanic tunnels, the Doctor realises an ancient trap has been sprung. But who was it meant for? And what is the secret of the eerie statues that stand at the heart of the volcano?
Dragged into a centuries-old conflict, Rose and the Doctor are soon elevating survival to an art form as ancient, alien hands practice arts of destruction all around them.
Featured are the Doctor and Rose as played by David Tennant and Billie Piper in the hit series from BBC Television.

"This book will never be a classic, but it is a highly entertaining way to pass a couple hours on an airplane. Reading it is like reading an episode of the new Dr. Who series-- except these "episodes" were never filmed! These books do nicely to tide me over until the next season of Dr. Who comes out on DVD. In this episode, earth is attacked by some extra large, extra-terrestrial worms who are seeking hidden alien art in a volcano. If you watch Dr. Who ever, that will sound like a perfectly reasonable plot." — Allison (5 out of 5 stars)

" It was okay, not the best Doctor Who book ever. The Doctor and Rose's voices didn't ring true for me, and the plot was loosely held together. And Rose go turned into a statue (again). Read it at your own risk. "
" another good Rose/Doctor read "
" Fun schlock for Whovians. Took me longer than the other one I've read from the series. Very complicated and slow-moving at the same time. Maybe I just wasn't as in to it. "
" I found this one hard to get in to and had to put it down and pick it up again several times. Still, it was a good read and a might bit better than most of the fanfiction offerings. "
" It was decent, but I really don't enjoy worm characters. They just seem gross. "
" I much prefer Doctor/Rose books, I find. Maybe because I am a hardcore Doctor/Rose shipper... "
" Just disgusting. "
" I was totally confused by all the plot twists and the different groups fighting. And the alien Wurms grossed me out. Don't bother to read this book. "
" This is where I began to despair about the quality of the New Series Adventures...until "The Last Dodo" came along, that is. This novel, in particular, bored me beyond belief. "
" not the best. those alien worms were disgusting! "
" I have to admit, this definitely wasn't my favorite Doctor Who book ever. (I listened to the audiobook.) It wasn't horrible, but I wasn't that grabbed by the other characters, nor was the plot very interesting for me. "
" i love all the Rose and Dr ones but this one although it had good ideas was not my favorite .abit gory at times .however again the dr goes all out to save Rose and in this way we get an insight into his true feelings . "
" Decent. Not the most enthralling Doctor Who book I've ever read, but I didn't want the time back. "
" So many Doctor Who books (and I have all the new ones)....a written review is unnecessary for them all. "
" love the series, am doctor who mad...dnt like the books though "
" Not my favorite plot...I don't know that any Doctor Who involving worm creatures is going to be my favorite. The reader did have a fantastic worm creature voice, though! "
" I was tempted to put it down at first out of boredom, but the second half of the book was well worth the struggle through the first. If you love the Doctor, read it! "
" This is where I began to despair about the quality of the New Series Adventures...until "The Last Dodo" came along, that is. "
