BBC Books have released the covers and synopsis of a new Doctor Who book and graphic novel:
THE DALEK PROJECT - by Justin Richards
A stunning new graphic novel, featuring the Doctor as played by Matt Smith in an exciting adventure with the Daleks.
1917. It’s the height of the Great War and Hellcombe Hall is a house
full of mystery: locked doors, forbidden rooms, dustsheets covering
guilty secrets, and ghostly noises frightening the servants. Most
mysterious of all, the drawing room seems to open directly onto a muddy,
corpse-filled trench on the Western Front…
Arriving at this stately home, the Doctor meets Lord Hellcombe, an
armaments manufacturer who has a new secret weapon he believes will win
the war: he calls it ‘the Dalek’. Soon, the Doctor and his new friends
are in a race against time to prevent the entire Western Front from
becoming part of the Dalek Project!
Doctor Who: The Dalek Project is on sale from 14th September at all good book and comic stores priced £14.99 per copy.
A HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE IN 100 OBJECTS - by James Goss & Steve Tribes
Every object tells a story. From ancient urns and medieval flasks to
sonic screwdrivers and glass Daleks, these 100 objects tell the story of
the entire universe, and the most important man in it: the Doctor.
Each item has a unique tale of its own, whether it’s a fob watch at
the onset of the Great War or a carrot growing on the first human colony
on Mars. Taken together, they tell of empires rising and falling, wars
won and lost, and planets destroyed and reborn.
Within these pages lie hidden histories of Time Lords and Daleks, the
legend of the Loch Ness Monster, the plot to steal the Mona Lisa and
the story of Shakespeare’s lost play. You’ll find illustrated guides to
invisible creatures, the secret origins of the internet, and how to
speak Mechonoid.
A History of the Universe in 100 Objects is an indispensable guide to
the most important items that have ever existed, or that are yet to
exist.
