Doctor Who: The Ruby's Curse

River Song Novel

By: Alex Kingston

Narrated by: Alex Kingston

Alex Kingston reads her brand-new novel featuring River Song, from the worlds of Doctor Who.

1939, New York. Private-eye Melody Malone is hired to find a stolen ruby, the Eye of Horus. The ruby might hold the secret to the location of Cleopatra's tomb - but everyone who comes into contact with it dies.

Can Melody escape the ruby's curse?

1939, New York. River Song, author of the Melody Malone mysteries, is forced to find a reality-altering weapon, the Eye of Horus - but everyone who comes into contact with it dies. River doesn't believe in curses - but is she wrong?

From the top-security confines of Stormcage to the barbarism of first-century Egypt, River battles to find the Eye of Horus before its powers are used to transform the universe. To succeed, she must team up with a most unlikely ally - her own fictional alter ego, Melody. And together they must solve another mystery: is fiction changing into fact - or is fact changing into fiction?

this one took me across the country

was listening to this during the latter half of a cross country drive. this book is so beautifully written and narrated, I enjoyed it very much, also if you're a fan of doctor who at all this does not disappoint!

What fun!

Alex Kingston is my favorite Doctor Who actor and I was delighted to see this was coming out. What fun! A wiblbly-wobbly-timey-wimey mystery. Lots of twists and turns and horrible American accents that River and we have fun with and acknowledge. I really enjoyed it!

Amazing

Loved it. A tad bit confusing if you stop listening and start again, but other than that very interesting.

Gripping story

An amazing story by one of my favorite Dr. Who characters and actresses. I loved it. Give more.
