terrifying enemies the Doctor has battled against.
Illustrated throughout with stunning photographs and design
drawings from the current series of Doctor Who and his previous

whatever their age, and whatever planet they come from...
1500BC - King Actaeus and his subjects live in mortal fear of the
awesome gods who have come to visit their kingdom in ancient
Greece. Except the Doctor, visiting with university student June, knows
they're not gods at all. They're aliens.
For the aliens, it's the perfect holiday - they get to tour the sights of a
primitive planet and even take part in local customs. Like gladiatorial
games, or hunting down and killing humans who won't be missed.
With June's enthusiastic help, the Doctor soon meets the travel agents
behind this deadly package holiday company - his old enemies the
Slitheen. But can he bring the Slitheen excursion to an end without
endangering more lives? And how are events in ancient Greece linked
to a modern-day alien plot to destroy what's left of the Parthenon?

Noble is back home in London, catching up with her family and generally giving
them all the gossip about her journeys. Her grandfather is especially overjoyed
- he's discovered a new star and had it named after him. He takes the Doctor,
as his special guest, to the naming ceremony. But the Doctor is suspicious
about some of the other changes he can see in Earth's heavens, particularly
that bright star, right there. No not that one, that one, there, on the left...
The world's population is slowly being converted to a new path, a new way of
thinking. Something is coming to Earth, an ancient force from the Dark Times.
Something powerful, angry, and all-consuming...
A vast starship, seemingly deserted, is spinning slowly
in the void of deep space. Martha and the Doctor explore
this drifting tomb and discover that they may not be
alone after all.
Who survived the disaster that overcame the rest of the
crew? What continues to power the vessel? And why has
a stretch of wooded countryside suddenly appeared in
the middle of the craft?
As the Doctor and Martha journey through the forest,
they find a mysterious, fog-bound village - a village
traumatised by missing children and prophecies of its
own destruction...
For over forty years, the Doctor has battled against the monsters and villains of the universe. This book, by Doctor Who expert Justin Richards, brings together the best - or rather the worst - of
his enemies.
Discover why the Daleks are so deadly; how the Yeti
invade London; the secret of the Loch Ness Monster; and how the Cybermen have survived. Learn who the Master
is, and - above all - how the Doctor defeats them all.
Whether you read it on or behind the sofa, this book provides a wealth of information about the monsters and villains that have made Doctor Who the galactic phenomenon that it is today.
For a year, while the Master ruled over Earth, Martha Jones travelled the
world telling people stories about the Doctor. She told people of how
the Doctor has saved them before, and how he will save them again.
This is that story. It tells of Martha's travels from her arrival on Earth as
the Toclafane attacked and decimated the population through to her
return to Britain to face the Master. It tells how she spread the word
and told people about the Doctor. The story of how she survived that
terrible year.
But it's more than that. This is also a collection of the stories she tells
- the stories of adventures she had with the Doctor that we haven't
heard about before. The stories that inspired and saved the world...
Earth, 2099.
Global warming is devastating the climate. The polar ice caps
are melting.
In a desperate attempt at preservation, the governments of the world
have removed vast sections of the Arctic and Antarctic and set them
inside huge domes across the world. The Doctor and Martha arrive
in Snowgtobe 7 in the Middle East, hoping for peace and relaxation.
But they soon discover that it's not only ice and snow that has been
preserved beneath the Dome.
While Martha struggles to help with an infection sweeping through
the Dome, the Doctor discovers an alien threat that has lain hidden
since the last ice age. A threat that is starting to thaw.
The TARDIS lands in 22nd-century Africa in the shadow
of a dormant volcano. Agri-teams are growing new foodstuffs
in the baking soil to help feed the world's starving millions -
but the Doctor and Rose have detected an alien signal
somewhere close by.
When a nightmare force starts surging along the dark volcanic
tunnels, the Doctor realises an ancient trap has been sprung.
But who was it meant for? And what is the secret of the eerie
statues that stand at the heart of the volcano?
Dragged into a centuries-old conflict, Rose and the Doctor
have to fight for their lives as alien hands practice the arts of
destruction all around them.

Doctor has his TARDIS to get him from place to place and time to time, but the
rest of the Universe relies on more conventional transport. From the British
Space Programme of the late twentieth century to Earth's Empire in the far
future, from the terrifying Dalek Fleet to deadly Cyber Ships, this book
documents the many starships and spacestations that the Doctor and his
companions have encountered on their travels. In this stunningly-illustrated
book, Doctor Who historian Justin Richards documents the amazing story of
Earth's ventures into space, examines the many alien fleets who have paid Earth
a visit, and explores the other starships and spacestations that the Doctor has
encountered on his many travels.
