Publisher Description

On a lonely stretch of Welsh coastline, a fisherman is killed by a hideous creature from beneath the waves. When the Doctor and Rose arrive, they discover a village where the children are plagued by nightmares, and the nights are ruled by monsters. The villagers suspect that ancient industrialist Nathanial Morton is to blame, but the Doctor has suspicions of his own. Who are the ancient figures that sleep in the old priory? What are the monsters that prowl the woods after sunset? What is the light that glows in the disused lighthouse on Black Island? As the children's nightmares get worse, The Doctor and Rose discover an alien plot to resurrect an ancient evil.

Featured are the Doctor and Rose as played by David Tennant and Billie Piper in the hit series from BBC Television.

"This was one of the better Doctor Who novelisations I've read. The characters reflected the "real" Rose and Ten, as well as their actions. And the plot was actually pretty creepy... an old "war god" alien had crashed on earth years ago, and several kids who witnessed the crash received bits of it in their minds, rendering them permanantly unable to function in society. The aliens' people came to Earth (Wales!) in order to piece him back together again, using the nightmares of children to fuel his resurrection. The Rose and The Doctor, of course, thwart their plans! :-) An enjoyable read."

    " There weren't as many Ten/Rose moments in this book as The Stone Rose. Nevertheless, it had a creepy atmosphere with an island filled with nightmares, literally. "

    " I seriously enjoyed this novel. It showcased Rose's ingenuity separate from the Doctor and that's always a plus in my book. "

    " I enjoyed the story a lot, especially since it was read by Anthony Head who did a wonderful job by voicing the main characters the Doctor and Rose but also the other characters with their typical Welsh accents. "

    " I enjoyed this story, the doctor who books are fun make a good break between serious books. I think this one portrayed the Doctor and Rose well probably the best of the four I have read so far. Very good. "

    " This new series of books is obviously aimed at a younger audience, but this one was pretty good for adults too. One of the better ones, in fact. It reads like a traditional tale from the Hinchcliffe era, but at the same time, retains some of the vibe of the new series. "

    " This didn't feel like the 10th doctor. It would have worked better as a 9th doctor book, really. Overall, just fair. "

    " This is the very first book I read in one day. They usually take me weeks to finish as I am a lazy reader. This is a spooky and kind of secret book. Everyone has a secret in this book. "

    " A bit of fluffy reading, just like watching an hour-long episode of the show. This story featured Doc #10 and Rose, poking around in Wales, thwarting the plans of some aliens. Standard stuff really :) Worth the 2 quid I paid for it in a charity shop. "

    " The most well-written Doctor Who book out there. I don't care- it got the tone of Doctor and Rose perfectly, I loved the all the details that he put in, the setting and the plot were great, and as if that weren't enough, there was a lighthouse. "
