About this ebook

A thrilling new adventure from the spectacular BBC series, starring Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman.

23 November, 1963

It is the day after John F. Kennedy’s assassination – and the faces of the dead are everywhere. PC Reg Cranfield sees his late father in the mists along Totter’s Lane. Reporter Mae Callon sees her grandmother in a coffee stain on her desk. FBI Special Agent Warren Skeet finds his long-dead partner staring back at him from raindrops on a window pane.
Then the faces begin to talk, and scream... and push through into our world.

As the alien Shroud begins to feast on the grief of a world in mourning, can the Doctor dig deep enough into his own sorrow to save mankind?

Ratings and reviews

It's pretty good, but the author clearly favors certain companions over others. One would think that the companions the Doctor loves most (like Amy, Rory, Rose, Donna and Martha, who all traveled with him for a year or more) are hardly mentioned, but clearly Astrid (who he only knew for one day) was foremost on his mind. This bias threw me off but still, a good read.

Awesome book, loved it!

I didn't see the clowns coming
