About this listen

 For Donna Noble, the Andromeda galaxy is a long, long way from home. But even two-and-a-half-million light years from Earth, danger lurks around every corner... A visit to an art gallery turns into a race across space to uncover the secret behind a shadowy organization. From the desert world of Karris to the interplanetary scrapyard of Junk, the Doctor and Donna discover that appearances can be deceptive, that enemies are lurking around every corner, and that the centuries-long peace between humans and machines may be about to come to an end. Because waiting in the wings to bring chaos to the galaxy is The Cult of Shining Darkness. Featuring the Doctor and Donna as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit TV series from BBC Television, Shining Darkness is read by Debbie Chazen, who played Foof Van Hoff in the TV episode Voyage of the Damned.©2008 Mark Michalowski; (P)2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd Fantasy Fiction Science Fiction Time Travel Interstellar

Critic reviews

a solid plot and a perilous scavenger hunt help us to care about the Doctor and his friends. So too does narrator Debbie Chazen... Her regional accent resonates in human and robot characters alike, but she gets the inflections of David Tennant (the Doctor) and Catherine Tate (Donna) just right. (Nick Smith)

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

Doctor Who fans will enjoy the story

Would you be willing to try another book from Mark Michalowski? Why or why not?

Yes, I have enjoyed many of his Dr Who books

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The god awful accents she used for subsidiary characters. I couldn't finish the book because the stupid regional accents she gave the characters spoiled the story for me.

What character would you cut from Doctor Who?

The narrator!!

Any additional comments?

If a diverse selection of regional accents doesn't do it for you, don't bother!
