Product Description
Equipped with space suits, golf clubs and a flag, the Doctor and Rose are planning to live it up, Apollo mission-style, on the Moon. But the TARDIS has other plans, landing them instead in a village on the south coast of England; a picture-postcard sort of place where nothing much happens. Until now... An archaeological dig has turned up a Roman mosaic, circa 70 A.D., depicting mythical scenes, grapes - and a Dalek. A few days later a young woman, rushing for work, is knocked over and killed by a bus, then comes back to life. It's not long before all hell breaks loose, and the Doctor and Rose must use all their courage and cunning against an alien enemy - and a not-quite-alien accomplice - who are intent on destroying humanity.

A *fun* read... September 5, 2007

What a fun little book! And a "quick reads" indeed. I read it in one sitting last night. VERY much like an episode of Doctor Who (yay Rose, I miss her so much!) Which I guess isn't surprising because I believe this author has written several Doctor Who books. I also very much enjoyed "seeing" a Dalek again, and I loved the references the story makes to events that happened in the TV series as well.
Roman Daleks? July 27, 2006

The Tenth Doctor and Rose plan to play some golf on the Moon but end up on the south coast of England in a bland, boring town which has nothing going on. Or so they thought.
It seems arhaeologists have found a Roman mosaic from 70 AD. It shows scenes from ancient England, people, grapes and, yes, a Dalek. Then a dead girl comes back to life. Then the archaeologists find a...well, that would be telling.
The story is short, swift and, because it has Daleks in the plot, delightful. The book shows that Gareth Roberts knows general Dr. WHO? history (with the use of a Time Ring) and Dalek history (as he uses the idea of the Dalek Factor at one point).
Too bad it took so long to get to me - I ordered it in April! While having 104 pages it took me less than an hour to read. Frankly, I would have liked a little more story for my money.
