Product Description

White consumes the New Hampshire landscape, as US troops close like a platoon of ghosts on an armed cult, following a spate of unnaturally severe blizzards. Screams are carried on the frosty winds, but as the troops break in they find the house deserted. A gunfight with no victims. The Doctor, hoping to give Leela a taste of life among the tribes of Native America, finds he has fractionally misjudged his coordinates, and they too are trapped in the frozen wastes, for he has strangely lost his homing affinity with the TARDIS. In the nearby small town of Winnipesaukee, a little girl called Amber Mailloux, distressed by the disappearance of her father, frustrated with her mother's roaming, unsettled life, feels almost at one with the heartless, lonely raging of the storm. But none of them know that the snow, the ice is not just a backdrop, but the real enemy. At the heart of the drift is a living presence, glorying in the cold, inhuman structures of the ice. And it's hungry...

Customer Reviews

Detail adventure and a very good read,
As soon as I started to read "Drift", I couldn't put it down. I found the details of the "White Shadow" Special Forces Group to be very military accurate; they could exist in the real world. The style of writing kept me engrossed in the book for hours. I was impressed by both the detail of military hardware and the description of the scenes within the book. Very good book, even if you don't like Doctor Who, it's worth reading from the military aspect of it. I can't wait until the next book.

An acceptable fourth doctor and leela novel
Drift is a reasonably good fourth doctor story which is best read in front of the fire on a cold wintry day. For those who like Leela to be a feisty amazon type the portrayal in this book may seem a little too timid but the book moves along nicely and holds the attention well.
