Product Description

The Tardis lands the Doctor and Martha in the Lake District in 1909, where a small village has been terrorised by a giant, scaly monster. The search is on for the elusive "Beast of Westmorland," and explorers, naturalists and hunters from across the country are descending on the fells. King Edward VII himself is on his way to join the search, with a knighthood for whoever finds the Beast. But there is a more sinister presence at work in the Lakes than a mere monster on the rampage, and the Doctor is soon embroiled in the plans of an old and terrifying enemy. And as the hunters become the hunted, a desperate battle of wits begins - with the future of the entire world at stake...

About the Author
Steve Cole:
Born in 1971, Steve Cole spent a happy childhood in rural Bedfordshire being loud and aspiring to amuse. He liked books, and so went to the University of East Anglia to read more of them. Later on he started writing them too, with titles ranging from pre-school poetry to Young Adult thrillers (with more TV and film tie-ins than he cares to admit to along the way). In other careers he has been the editor of Noddy magazine, the voice of a Dalek and an editor of fiction and nonfiction book titles for various publishers.

Customer Reviews

Stink of the Zygons
I really cannot abide Stephen Cole. On the plus side - at least I finished this novel - mostly due to sheer grit and fortitude. I love the Zygons. They're disgusting to look at and scared me out of my socks as a kid but this novel is not a fitting tribute. Basically a re-working of the original TV serial with more action and an intensely annoying habit of referring to the Doctors' sonic screwdriver as "the sonic". Kids usually hate being treated as kids and this novel practically treats you like a foetus. Read a "Who" a novel by Justin Richards - buy this to complete the set.

Not as good as expected
I love the Dr Who books, but I was disappointed in this one. I usually read them really quick but I struggled to keep interested in this one, and didn't read it for ages. It seemed rather repetitive, going around in circles. It also had too many characters to keep track of.

Rather disappointed. :(

The best Doctor Who book ever
I think "Sting of the Zygons" is the best Doctor Who book I've read so far. It has good action sequences and a brilliant front cover. 10/10. I'd recommend this to anybody!
