Publisher's summary

Catherine Tate reads this exclusive, thrilling story, in which the Doctor and Donna are imprisoned on the Edifice and become neighbours to a terrifying assortment of aliens.

When the TARDIS is invaded by a holographic marketing scam, the Doctor and Donna find themselves trapped on the Edifice, a purpose-built complex of luxury apartments in space. Their new environs leave much to be desired: millions of beings from across the Universe have been gathered to live side by side in similar apartments.

Instead of creating neighbourly affection, it's led to terrible battles being waged in the corridors and on the stairwells. The Doctor and Donna must cross the paths of deadly alien mobs as they search for the Edifice's ultimate authority. Who, or what, lies at the heart of the incredible complex? What destructive scourge is eating away at the Edifice itself? And are the Doctor and Donna trapped forever in this living hell?

The Forever Trap features the Doctor and Donna as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit BBC Television series Doctor Who. It was written specially for audio by Dan Abnett.

Long live the Doctor!

If you like the Doctor and Donna, you will love this! Catherine Tate keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the story and does an amazing impression of David Tennant as the Doctor. The imagery is perfectly detailed, and the sounds/music (while a little cheesy) help make it a classic DW.

Ok, Ill keep this short. If you like the "Donna Noble" Companion played By Catherine Tate, on the Hit BBC TV Show DOCTOR WHO, Then you will Love love love this Audio book! The Book is written by Dan Abnett, ( his name alone got me to buy the book ) the writer behind the Torchwood audiobook "Border Princes", and many other hardcover books, and is read Splendidly by Catherine Tate. A great Mystery full of laughs and adventure in the doctor Who Universe!

Great!

I've listened to quite a few of these now and this is a close second favorite (after The Resurrection Casket). Not too scary and it's fun enough that I'd want to listen to it again, which is the gold standard I hold audio books to. Very much recommend!

Donna Noble For The Win!

What does Catherine Tate bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

If it weren't for Catherine Tate narrating this particular story, I wouldn't have been laughing out loud in my car on Highway 80 on my long commute home. Believe me, that alone changes lives around here. :)

Brilliant story read by brilliant woman. Who could ask for more?

A Great Listen

These 2 1/2 hour audiobooks are realy great. This is the second that I've read (listened).The stories are better with the extra Ninety minutes to spread out in. It's also better when one of the acting cast narrate the book. Seeing as they know the characters better than anyone else. I will definitely buy others and reccomended to all who fans.

Very Well Done

This would have gotten 5 stars, but paying almost $10 for a 2-hour audiobook seemed excessive. Catherine Tate is a wonderful actress and her characterizations gave the story life. A very good listen.
