Summary:
Earth is under attack by power-hungry aliens. This is no time for the Doctor to be out of action. When a British space probe is intercepted by a sinister alien vessel on the eve of Christmas, it marks the beginning of an audacious invasion of the Earth by the Sycorax - horrifying marauders from beyond the stars.
Within hours, a third of humanity stands on the brink of death with not a single shot fired.
Our planet needs a champion - but the Doctor is not fit for service.
He's just regenerated, delirious in a new body and a dressing gown.
Forced into his battered shoes is his friend, Rose Tyler, a girl from a London council estate.
Will she save the world from this nightmare before Christmas - or see it destroyed?
A new TARGET novelization, written by Jenny T Colgan, of the Tenth Doctor's first adventure, read by Camille Coduri (Jackie Tyler).
