This is an exclusive, original adventure for the 10th Doctor, read by David Tennant. Featuring additional music and effects, Doctor Who: Dead Air has never been previously published.

Hot on the heels of a creature that exists through sound, the Doctor lands on a pirate radio station boat in the late 1960s. The creature has already killed some of the DJs, and the Doctor befriends the survivors. But then the lights go out, and a desperate race for survival begins. Who can the Doctor trust in the dark?

If you could sum up Doctor Who in three words, what would they be?

Perfection. Engrossing. Funny.

What did you like best about this story?

It was wonderful hearing David Tennant narrate a Doctor Who story. He was by far and away my favorite doctor and I felt like I was "watching" a missing episode from the Tennant years. I wanted to snatch up all the Doctor Who stories narrated by David Tennant just so I could have another marathon-esque experience. :)

Which character – as performed by David Tennant – was your favorite?

The Doctor of course!

David Tennant is the BEST doctor...on tv or audio!

Creative presentation, reading was great and the story, while superficial, satisfied. A bit on the predictable side, but solid Doctor Who fare!

Allons-y!

Would you try another book from James Goss and/or David Tennant?

I love David Tennant's reading, and I read this story because I enjoyed one of his other works.

What do you think your next listen will be?

I'm trying to find new authors to follow in speculative fiction.

Which scene was your favorite?

I enjoyed the David Tennant in stereo at the ending.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Really, this would lose all the charm it has in a visual medium.

Any additional comments?

The monster just doesn't work. It's too hazy and generalized to have cohesive internal logic.

Vague Monster and neat frame device

I quite enjoyed the story and having David Tennant narrate and switch to his "doctor" voice was a treat. All in all I enjoyed it and the only thing that brings my review down is its length when compared to other audio books and the somewhat predictable or cheesy elements in the story.

Pretty Good

It is not in the slitest long enough. It's way way way way too short.

Only one problem

Not all Doctor Who radio performance are alike. Some are obviously attempts at TV scripts that didn't quite make the cut. Some are obviously books that didn't quite get made long enough. Dead Air is none of the above. This is made for radio through and through. It has a great starting and ending hook, and has the ability to keep you engaged throughout. Also, David Tennant has an amazing voice as a narrator, so how can you go wrong with TEN himself?

If you're looking through Doctor Who short audioprogramms ... get this one!

Engaging story written as for radio
