Publisher's summary

Camille Coduri reads this brand new novelisation of the Tenth Doctor’s first adventure. Earth is under attack by power-hungry aliens. This is no time for the Doctor to be out of action.

When a British space probe is intercepted by a sinister alien vessel on the eve of Christmas, it marks the beginning of an audacious invasion of the Earth by the Sycorax – horrifying marauders from beyond the stars. Within hours, a third of humanity stands on the brink of death with not a single shot fired.

Our planet needs a champion – but the Doctor is not fit for service. He’s just regenerated, delirious in a new body and a dressing gown. Forced into his battered shoes is his friend, Rose Tyler, a girl from a London council estate. Will she save the world from this nightmare before Christmas – or see it destroyed?

Very enjoyable audiobook

Camille Coduri is an excellent voice actor. It’s amazing how many good actors are not good at reading out loud. Camille overcomes her light voice and proves herself excellent in both genres.

The author, Jenny T. Colgan, is also to be commended for an excellent job expanding this TV screenplay into an enjoyable book that neatly expands this TV episodes story line.

Does the T in Jenny’s name have the same meaning as the “T” in Russell T. Davies name? 😊

As a long time Whovian, I was not disappointed with this audio version of, “The Christmas Invasion.”
