BLURB

An astronaut in A full spacesuit appears out of thin air in a busy shopping centre.  Maybe it’s a publicity stunt.

 

A photo shows an immaculately-dressed woman in her best shoes lying dead at the edge of a crater on the dark side of the moon. Maybe it’s a hoax.

 

But as the Doctor and Amy find out, these are just minor events in a sinister plan to take over everyone

on earth. The plot centres on a secret military base on the moon, where Amy and the TARDIS are.

 

The Doctor is back on Earth, and without the TARDIS there’s no way he can get to the moon to save Amy and defeat the aliens.

 

Or is there? The TIME LORD discovers one last great secret

that could save THE WORLD: Apollo 23.

We have placed this first batch of eleventh Doctor novels between Victory of the Daleks and The Time of Angels, as this is the only gap in Series 5’s tight continuity which sees the Doctor and Amy travelling without either Rory in tow or the spectre of his non-memory looming large.

 

Of note, here the Doctor claims that he hasn’t died for months, and that it always makes him hungry when he does. This can only be a reference to his recent regeneration. Taking his age into account - he claims to be 906 just before his regeneration in The End of Time, but 907 in Flesh and Stone, his travels with Amy between the two probably last several months. Alternatively, he may have spent longer “running in the TARDIS” on his trip to the Moon than he admitted in The Eleventh Hour.
