Varada Sethu reads this brand new novelisation of a recent TV adventure.

What if the story of your life is written in the stars?
Belinda Chandra grew up longing to travel – but never imagined rocket ships would be part of the deal. Abducted by killer robots and taken to a strange planet, Belinda must join forces with the Doctor to put right a revolution that might just be her fault…

Reach for the stars as the Fifteenth Doctor and Belinda Chandra – as played by Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu – rock each other’s worlds for the first time. This novelisation of Russell T Davies’ script comes from best-selling tie-in author Una McCormack.
Reader Varada Sethu plays Belinda in the BBC TV series.
