Camille Coduri reads this brand new novelisation of the 2005 BBC TV adventure.

The Doctor brings Rose home a year after she left…to find London in chaos. A spaceship has crashed into the Thames and an alien body lies in the wreckage.

The Doctor uncovers a chilling conspiracy at the heart of Downing Street as ruthless alien invaders take control – members of the Family Slitheen.

The Doctor, Rose and the MP for Flydale North must fight to expose the Slitheen infiltration – before Earth falls prey to a deadly interstellar con that will ignite World War Three.

Camille Coduri, who played Jackie in the BBC TV series, reads this adaptation of Russell T Davies’ blockbuster action-adventure, the first two-part story of the modern series in 2005. It is novelised by playwright and screenwriter Joseph Lidster.
