Loading... The Nemonite Invasionby David Roden
   None No current Talk conversations about this book. The Tardis is crashes in the sea outside Dover right before the Dunkirk evacuation and are rescued by the military, only to find that something else crashed as well and that the parasitic Nemonite are looking to take over all human bodies to spawn their young. Very good mix of sci-fi and history and Catherine Tate does a good job with the voices, even if it's not one of her best. Quite enjoyable story with solid side-characters. (  ) -Eva- | Nov 18, 2014 |  Beaucoup aimé cet audiobook. Catherine Tate me plaît définitivement comme lectrice. Ça aurait fait un bon épisode! (  ) Moncoinlecture | Apr 4, 2013 | Catherine Tate is a wonderful reader. The story is pretty good, if a bit...icky at times. ( ) bluesalamanders | Apr 14, 2010 | http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1286105.html#cutid1 An audiobook original, read effectively by Catherine Tate. Standard stuff - earth threatened by 'orrible aliens, Donna gets a brief romance, base under siege; what drags it down, unfortunately, is that the base under siege is Dover immediately before Dunkirk, and my suspicion of disbelief is rather shattered by the idea that an alien assault and massive loss of personnel would not disrupt the intricate planning of such a key operation. If you do a historical story for laughs, make sure it is funny; if you do it didactically, as is the point here, you need more verisimilitude than this.

The Doctor and Donna take on a race of dangerous bloodsucking aliens. When the sky rips open somewhere over Dover, two objects hurtle out of the Vortex and crash-land in the sea. One is the TARDIS, out of control and freefalling -- but the other, a mysterious crystalline sphere, is far more sinister. The Doctor and Donna are rescued and taken to a secret command centre in the Dover cliffs. It's May 1940, and Vice-Admiral Ramsey is about to finalise one of the most daring plans of the Second World War: Operation Dynamo. But something else has got inside the War Tunnels, a parasitic Nemonite from the crashed sphere. Its aim is to possess all humans and spawn millions of young. The Doctor and Donna must fight for their lives in order to save both Operation Dynamo and the world at large. "The Nemonite Invasion" features the Doctor and Donna, as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit BBC Television series "Doctor Who." No library descriptions found. |
