About this ebook

WHATEVER YOU BORROW MUST BE REPAID...

Andrew Brown never has enough time. No time to call his sister, or to prepare for that important presentation at the bank where he works. The train's late, the lift jams. If only he had just a little more time. And time is the business of Mr Symington and Mr Blenkinsop. They'll lend him some - at a very reasonable rate of interest.

Scenting something sinister, the Doctor, Amy and Rory go undercover at the bank. But they have to move fast to stop Symington and Blenkinsop before they cash in their investments.

Borrowed Time is a thrilling race against the clock from Naomi A Alderman, the Bailey’s Prize winning author of The Power featuring the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory, as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the spectacular hit Doctor Who series from BBC Television.

Ratings and reviews

I love the doctor, I liked the characters, I disliked the behavior of one of the characters as being uncharacteristic based on the episodes that we have all watched before. A minor grip for an overall exciting read. I loved the concept of borrowed time, and the reasons for borrowing it. I loved the fact time is a commodity that is awesome! I disliked the hook used for the story, it felt out of character. Still a good read or two ( I did read it twice ).

I love the book it's cool and in the story there's secret to solve about time and space for the future and the present too.

Apsolutly marvelous.Fantastic to be precise!
