For Donna Noble, the Andromeda galaxy is a long, long way from home. But even two-and-a-half-million light years from Earth, danger lurks around every corner... A visit to an art gallery turns into a race across space to uncover the secret behind a shadowy organization. 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!

I just finished reading the book and I have to say it was awesome. I actually read the book in less than a day which is something I don't do often because of so many other things I do in a day but I just couldn't put the book down. The story is fun and entertaining. The Doctor and Donna are written perfectly. As I read on I could just hear them saying the things written in the book, never feeling as though it was something they would never say. One thing that about the book that I like is that it's softcover sized but hardcover. It looks cool. If you enjoy a good Doctor Who story and like David Tennant's Doctor, you will like this book.

Not only is the story cool - aliens, robots, mystery! But the characters seem to be in-character, both the Doctor and Donna get equal screen time, or should I say page time, so she is not ignored. And you can see them doing almost everything in the book - every gesture, every line, every eye roll. The book is right after The Doctor Trap and has a nice flow to it. You can read it in less than a day - I did.

A great Doctor/Donna adventure! The characters were true to the show, a nice mix of action, thrills and humor. This would have made an awesome two-part episode!
