Publisher Description

Freema Agyeman reads this spine-tingling story of a bizarre museum, extinct animals, and danger for the Doctor.

The Doctor and Martha go in search of a real live dodo, and are transported by the TARDIS to the mysterious Museum of the Last Ones.

There, in the Earth section, they discover every extinct creature up to the present day, all still alive and in suspended animation.

Preservation is the museum’s only job—collecting the last of every endangered species from all over the universe. But exhibits are going missing …

Can the Doctor solve the mystery before the museum’s curator adds the last of the Time Lords to her collection?

Featuring the Doctor and Martha, as played by David Tennant and Freema Agyeman in the hit series from BBC Television.

"This book really brought out the Doctor for me. It had his personality pretty spot-on and made me smile while reading it. It also reeeeeally makes me want a Dodo; it was adorable. It had a lot of cute moments and I can never turn down dinosaurs being brought back to life! "

    " A very quick read - I read it in about two hours or so - but was enjoyable. I loved the idea that there would be a museum of 'last ones' of every species in the future. "

    " I really enjoyed this one. Jacqueline Rayner seems to be my favorite author of the Doctor Who books. The character of Martha really drives me insane sometimes but the Doctor counters that so I can still read it. This would have to be one of my favorites so far. "

    " Dodos and David Tennant! Anyone who has seen Pirates! Band of Misfits (Pirates! Adventure with Scientists) will love the little ironies of this book. Reader beware, when Martha narrates, she has a habit of getting distracted, which can be rather annoying. "

    " The first TRUE New Series novel, as far as I'm concerned. All the others were merely a preamble to this wonderful book. There's a depth to this novel that is lacking in most of the previous works...luckily, it's a harbringer of what follows. "

    " I'm kind of embarrassed to admit reading a tv-based spin-off novel, but you know what? It was actually pretty fun. It's pretty much just high quality fanfiction though, so if you're expecting anything more you'd be disappointed. "

    " Tom Baker will always be THE Doctor in my eyes, but the tenth Doctor is really growing on me. I love how these books manage to portray all the moods, mannerisms, quirks and curiosities that make David Tennant's character so damn lovable. "

    " So many Doctor Who books (and I have all the new ones)....a written review is unnecessary for them all. *** once again this is one of the better Doctor Who books, if you're interested in reading them and haven't yet. "

    " I think I would have enjoyed this more if they didn't keep having sections from Martha's point of view. I would listen and somehow miss the transitions between third and first person. Freema Agyeman, however, is a pretty good reader. "

    " I could not even make it past the first chapter of this book. The writing style did not feel right and the inner monologue for Martha did not sound like how she would talk. Maybe I will look for the audio book and see if I can get through it that way. "
