An asteroid in the furthest reaches of space – the most secure prison for the most dangerous of criminals. The Governor is responsible for the cruellest murderers so he’s not impressed by the arrival of the man they’re calling the most dangerous criminal in the quadrant. Or, as he prefers to be known, the Doctor. But when the new prisoner immediately sets about trying to escape, and keeps trying, the Governor sets out to find out why. Who is the Doctor and what’s he really doing here? And who is the young woman who comes every day to visit him, only to be turned away by the guards? When the killing finally starts, the Governor begins to get his answers... Colin McFarlane, who was the Voice of the Heavenly Host in the TV episode 'Voyage of the Damned', reads this complete and unabridged novel by James Goss. It features the Twelfth Doctor, as played by Peter Capaldi in the hit BBCTV series Doctor Who.

Reading produced by Neil Gardner.

I’ve really enjoyed the Dr Who stories and at the end of each one, I say it’s my favorite. This is no exception. The story is well written, and Colin McFarlane narrates it fantastically. It’s easy to feel like you are a part of the story. I recommend this book to all looking for great entertainment.

Utterly Fantastic

This was a great listen. Both author and narrator captured the Doctor brilliantly. I wasn't a huge fan of the narrator's voice for Clara, but it wasn't too bad. The POV character is the Doctor's jailer, which as you can imagine is an incredibly frustrating position. One of the better Doctor stories I've read/listened to.

12th Doctor Awesomeness!
