The TARDIS is lost in battle on a distant planet. When the Doctor sets off in pursuit, Donna is left behind, and finds herself accepting a commission in the Pioneer Corps. Something is transforming soldiers into monstrous beetles, and she could be the next victim. Meanwhile, the Doctor steals a motorbike and stages a jailbreak. Well, how hard can it be to find the TARDIS, rescue Donna, and negotiate a peace? But that’s before the arrival of a brutal and remorseless mechanical exterminator, bent on wiping out the insects. It may be that nothing can stop it, because this robot’s solution for the infestation is very simple: kill everything. Featuring the Doctor and Donna, as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit series from BBC Television, this story has been written specially for audio, and is read by David Tennant.
While not the best Doctor Who book I've read/listened to, this was still a very good book. As the first book I listened to the whole way through, I really enjoyed it. Especially listening to David Tennant reading it :)
There's action, friendship and fun as well as a moral lesson. In short, everything you would expect from a Doctor Who story. The idea was a great one and I especially liked the aliens involved. Listening to the audio book was fun as it let me come up with my own idea of what the characters looked like. Although there wasn't really time for many characters to be developed in depth, they weren't shallow and lacking as many are, and I found myself liking most of them (except the bad guys of course!)
Definitely recommend and I'll be looking for my next audiobook for my next journey :)
