Synopsis
The Cybermen are back to terrorise time and space - but luckily the new Doctor, played by David Tennant, and Rose are back to stop them. Picking up where "Monsters and Villains" left off, this fully illustrated guide documents the return of these metal menaces, as well as the Sycorax and other foes from the new series, plus first series terrors like the Gelth and the Reapers. More classic baddies such as the Celestial Toymaker, Sutekh and the Robots of Death also make a welcome appearance.

Customer Reviews

Perfect book for any Who fan
Barcode: 9780563486466

The 2nd in the series of books looking at the various creatures that appear in the Doctor's amazing travels this book is a wealth of infomation. If you're already a big Doctor Who fan then this book won't necessarily teach you anything new but it's all presented so well with a really good layout featuring loads of great, colourful pictures from the series, models and sketches from the design stage of the monsters and script extracts.

Another thing i'm well pleased with this book about is that it's written with an adult audience in mind too, the writing intelligent and able to fully convey the details of the creatures without being limited by having to aim towards a kids' market. That's not to say this book isn't for kids - that's where Doctor Who's unniversal appeal is so apparent - Who fans of all ages will love this book.

I also really like that they've included lots of details about monsters from the original series too. In this respect, the book is an ideal introduction to the old episodes for new fans and i'm sure older fans will appreciate looking back at all the creatures they remember from their childhood.

So, all in all, a fantastic book and a definite must buy!

Good Book
This book is great for any doctor who fans and is a brilliant present. We gave it to our little boy for his birthday and he loved looking at the different monsters and aliens. This will be a reference book to keep for years.
