About the Book
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...
A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Doctor, Amy and Rory, as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the spectacular hit series
from BBC Television.
