About this ebook
At the heart of the ruined city of Arcopolis is the Fortress. It's a brutal structure placed here by one of the sides in a devastating intergalactic war that's long ended. Fifteen years ago, the entire population of the planet was killed in an instant by the weapon housed deep in the heart of the Fortress. Now only the ghosts remain.
The Doctor arrives, and determines to fight his way past the Fortress's automatic defences and put the weapon beyond use. But he soon discovers he's not the only person in Arcopolis. What is the true nature of the weapon? Is the planet really haunted? Who are the Eyeless? And what will happen if they get to the weapon before the Doctor?
The Doctor has a fight on his hands. And this time he's all on his own.
Featuring the Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant in the hit sci-fi series from BBC Television

I absolutely adored this book for so many reasons. First off the 10th Doctor is alone but we get to hear his inner dialogue which is fascinating! Secondly, he has FOUR obstacles blocking his retrieval of a world destroying weapon locked inside a huge black fortress. There is 1 very vicious teenager who hates him & takes sides with obstacle #2 namely the Eyeless, an alien race made of glass that wants the weapon too & will kill the Doctor as well. There are ghosts haunting the fortress who are beings that were killed by the weapon & don't understand that whoever they touch becomes a ghost too. Finally there are the traps & weapons positioned everywhere inside, setup to protect the deadly weapon at its center. SPOILER: At one point he's so tired & feels so alone that when one of the aliens catches him & begins to throttle him he falls to his knees & doesn't fight back. It is a page turner on a grand scale, only 2nd to the flawless "Prisoner of the Daleks," another 10th Doctor book.
