Doctor Who: Engines of War

De: George Mann

The Great Time War has raged for centuries, ravaging the universe. Scores of human colony planets are now overrun by Dalek occupation forces. A weary, angry Doctor leads a flotilla of Battle TARDISes against the Dalek stronghold but in the midst of the carnage, the Doctor's TARDIS crashes to a planet below: Moldox.

As the Doctor is trapped in an apocalyptic landscape, Dalek patrols roam amongst the wreckage, rounding up the remaining civilians. But why haven't the Daleks simply killed the humans?

Searching for answers the Doctor meets 'Cinder', a young Dalek hunter. Their struggles to discover the Dalek plan take them from the ruins of Moldox to the halls of Gallifrey, and set in motion a chain of events that will change everything. And everyone.

Read by Nicholas Briggs, the 'voice of the Daleks' in Doctor Who, this epic novel of the Great Time War features the War Doctor as played by John Hurt in the hit BBC TV series. Reading produced by Neil Gardner.Sound design by Simon Hunt.Executive producer: Michael Stevens.

Cinder was a great character/companion.

Nicholas Briggs did a great job with the different character voices and personalities.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to this book while running a half marathon, then continued it later.

Fantastic

I really enjoyed seeing the War Doctor in action and going head to head with Rassilon.

Nicholas Brigg's narration is superb. Dalek stories are not the same without him.

Good War Doctor Story

This is the first War Doctor story I've given any attention to since his appearance in the anniversary episode. I think the only way this could have been better is if John Hurt had done the voice acting.

Better than your average Doctor Who story!

Sure, there were a few places where the escapes were implausible, but this is a Doctor Who story. But the ending was pretty strong and satisfying. I found myself wishing there were more stories with the War Doctor.
