Halflife front cover
















Miracles will never cease! The BBC have commissioned another Doctor Who book from me. Out in all good bookshops - and, let's be honest, some rubbish ones - from late March 2004, Halflife is an Eighth Doctor novel, featuring the Doctor as played by Paul McGann (he of the 1996 TV movie) along with his companions Fitz and Trix.


The back cover blurb is:

'To lose one set of memories may be regarded as a misfortune. To lose two smacks of carelessness.'

The Terran colony world of Espero seems the unlikely source of a sophisticated distress call. And the Doctor, Fitz and Trix are not the only ones responding to it.

While Fitz consorts with royalty, the Doctor's on the run with a sixteen year old girl, and Trix meets a small boy with a dark secret.

In a race for the minds and souls of an entire planet, the Doctor and Trix are offered temptations that may change them forever.

At least one of them will be unable to resist.
