The Silent Stars Go By
(Dan Abnett) |
|
On the Back Cover:
 For
centuries the Maintainers have worked. With
no help from other worlds, they subsist on
the food they can grow and that’s little
enough. But their purpose, their whole life
is to maintain the machines that will one
day make their world as habitable as old Earth.
Life
used to be hard. Now as their
crops fail, livestock sickens,
and the temperature drops, it’s
becoming impossible. This year’s
Winter Season Feast won’t
be the usual celebration. It’s
not a time for optimism or hope – and
it’s not a time to welcome
unexpected guests. The Doctor,
Amy and Rory find a society breaking
apart under the strain. Tensions
are mounting, old rivalries are
coming to the fore, people are
dying...
And
then the Doctor’s
old enemies the Ice
Warriors make their
move. With the cold-hearted
threat of invasion,
the real battle for
survival begins. Or
does it? The Doctor
begins to suspect
that behind everything
lies a deadlier, and
even more chilling
danger... |
