About this ebook

The winter festival is approaching for the hardy colony of Morphans, but no one is in the mood to celebrate. They’re trying to build a new life on a cold new world, but each year gets harder and harder. It’s almost as if some dark force is working against them. Then three mysterious travelers arrive out of the midwinter night, one of them claiming to be a doctor. Are they bringing the gift of salvation or doom? And what else might be lurking out there, about to wake up?

An adventure featuring the Eleventh Doctor as played by Matt Smith and his companions Amy and Rory

Ratings and reviews

Reads like it was an unreleased Christmas special. Really captures the spirit of Matt Smith's doctor, and the banter between him, Amy, and Rory is spot on. Somehow has some Tom Baker era energy, too.

Dan Abnett, through his imaginative stories, detailed prose and delightful characters brings his well honed, highly visceral charm to the Whoniverse with this fantastic novel.

Ok, so first of all, the eleventh doctor is my all time favorite doctor. Second of all, this book rocked my world!
