Starfall: a world on the edge, where crooks and smugglers hide in the gloomy shadows and modern technology refuses to work. And that includes the TARDIS. The pioneers who used to be drawn by the hope of making a fortune from the mines can find easier picking elsewhere. But they still come... for the romance of it, or old-fashioned organic mining. Or in the hope of finding the lost treasure of Hamlek Glint, scourge of the spaceways, privateer, adventurer, bandit.

Will the TARDIS ever work again? Is Glint's lost treasure waiting to be found? And does the fabled Resurrection Casket, the key to eternal life, really exist? With the help of new friends, and to the horror of new enemies, the Doctor and Rose aim to find out.

Featuring the Doctor and Rose as played by David Tennant and Billie Piper in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television. Written by Justin Richards. Read by David Tennant. Includes author interview by David Darlington of Doctor Who Magazine.

Critic reviews

"Tennant tells the story with such energy and feeling... This is a splendid combination of history ¿ a crew of pirates and a search for lost treasure ¿ and science fiction ¿ the pirates are aliens and the treasure will bring, you¿ve guessed it, world domination." ( The Times)

One of television’s most beloved and enduring sci-fi shows, Doctor Who has been on our screens for as long as many of us can remember. What started as a two-hearted alien traversing the galaxy in a time machine disguised as a police box quickly turned into a global cultural phenomenon. 13 regenerations later, the Whoniverse is still going strong—with 38 seasons on the air and an extensive library of supporting literary listens. Allons-y!

Specially read by Tenant. Great Story, wish there was more about Rose because their close relation is one of my favorite things about Dr. Who.

Love all Dr Who

The Resurrection Casket is probably my favorite Dr Who book so far. It's a great mix of swashbuckling space adventure and oddball characters that you can't help but love. (I see you Kevin!) It also highlights a slight weakness of the TARDIS which you don't get to see very often. A quick listen and highly entertaining.

Kevin is the best

I WILL ABSOLUTELY LISTEN TO THIS AGAIN AND WILL BE BUYING A PHYSICAL COPY ASAP!!!! So perfect that David Tennant (the 10th Doctor in the tv series) is the voice actor of the 10th Doctor in this story!!! The story was amazing with plot twists I didn’t see coming, as well as a unique story line!
RECOMMENDING THIS TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE!!! Sci-fi nerd lovers… here’s your next listen!!!

David Tennant continues to amaze me with his talent! 🤩

Pirates and Doctor Who, how can you not love that!This is my favorite story of the tales narrated by David Tennant.

Tennant's voice talent really comes into this audio, as there are so many different characters and he does a different voice for every one of them. He will be truly missed on the show! I hope he continues with these narrations, as other past actors who have played the Doctor do.

Highly recommended!

My fav of Tennants narrations

David Tennant brings the Doctor Who characters to life brilliantly. The writing was such that I believed this could have been an actual episode of the tv show and Tennant definitely didn't disappoint. My problem was the story, which just didn't do much for me. Understandable seeing as this is a loose science fiction adaptation of "Treasure Island" and I still haven't been able to get through that book. If you loved Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale and the Doctor Who tv show, this audiobook will be a slam-dunk for you.

Great narration of an okay story.
