A Doctor Trapped!



We’ve just received the three new Tenth Doctor books – now with Donna Noble in tow!

Ghosts of India

India in 1947 is a country in the grip of chaos - a country torn apart by internal strife. When the Doctor and Donna arrive in Calcutta, they are instantly swept up in violent events.
Barely escaping with their lives, they discover that the city is rife with tales of 'half-made men', who roam the streets at night and steal people away. These creatures, it is said, are as white as salt and have only shadows where their eyes should be. With help from India's great spiritual leader, Mohandas 'Mahatma' Gandhi, the Doctor and Donna set out to investigate these rumours.
What is the real truth behind the 'half-made men'? Why is Gandhi's role in history under threat? And has an ancient, all-powerful god of destruction really come back to wreak his vengeance upon the Earth?







Shining Darkness

For Donna Noble, the Andromeda galaxy is a long, long way from home. But, even two and a half million light years from Earth, some things never change...
A visit to an art gallery turns into a race across space to uncover the secret behind a shadowy organisation. From the desert world of Karris to the interplanetary scrapyard of Junk, the Doctor and Donna discover that appearances can be deceptive, that enemies are lurking around every corner - and that the centuries-long peace between humans and machines may be about to come to an end. Because waiting in the wings to bring chaos to the galaxy is The Cult of Shining Darkness.




The Doctor Trap

Sebastiene was perhaps once human. He might look like a nineteenth-century nobleman, but in truth he is a ruthless hunter. He likes nothing more than luring difficult opposition to a planet, then hunting them down for sport. And now he's caught them all - from Zargregs to Moogs, and even the odd Eternal...
In fact, Sebastiene is after only one more prize. For this trophy, he knows he is going to need help. He's brought together the finest hunters in the universe to play the most dangerous game for the deadliest quarry of them all. They are hunting for the last of the Time Lords - the Doctor.

Time for a Big Update!

I think it’s about time that we had a big update in here! First I’d like to confirm that we have the Classic 5” figures in stock – but they’re selling quickly, so get in fast! We’ve also got the classic Dalek 3-packs.



In event news – we’ve got our next Trading Day this Saturday (30th) so bring along any Battles in Time, Torchwood Cards, Micro Universe or even spare robot parts to complete your collection! Also at the Trading Day, we’ll be judging the ‘Pimp my Dalek’ competition (there’s photos of many entries over in the Fan Art section – do check it out!). The winner receives a Dalek VC helmet and a Dalek Sec VC helmet! Closing date is Friday – so it’s not too late to get in a last minute entry!






Following that, our next big event will be a special double signing event! John Leeson (K9) and Deborah Watling (Victoria Waterfield) will both be in-store on September 20th from about 10AM and staying until mid-afternoon. We’re glad to welcome them to Norwich and can’t wait to meet them!



Don’t forget – with the kids going back to school in the next few weeks – we’ve got various ranges of stationery, including Doctor Who pencil cases and Ring Binders and sets of High School Musical Stationery! Stock up in time for September!
