Bill’s looking forward to the Festival most of all, but they’re off by about 350 years—they’re in the city in 1645, the year of the Great Plague. The death toll is upsetting, but even worse is that the dead don’t seem to be staying dead. They’re coming back to visit their loved ones, and they don’t know they’re dead. The Doctor thinks this is unusual behaviour for ghosts, so it looks like an investigation is in order. I enjoyed this immensely. Twelve, Nardole, and Bill are a great team, and I still wish we’d had one more season with them. I laughed out loud periodically at the dialogue, which sounded very much like the characters I love, and I could totally envision this as an episode. The Edinburgh setting was great, too, and gave Nardole an opportunity to attempt to be Scottish and Twelve to shoot him right down. (The way Twelve did this made me laugh, because it was almost exactly the way I warned my family not to try doing Scottish accents on our trip to Edinburgh: “I do NOT want to be punched in the face by a local.”) I would definitely recommend this book if you like Doctor Who, particularly if Twelve is your Doctor. https://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2906821.html The only Who novel this year to feature Nardole as well as Bill, here we are in Edinburgh in 1645, with plague stalking the streets, the dead not staying dead, and horrors lurking in the night, while the authorities (led by the provost, the historical Sir John Smith) are deeply suspicious of strangers in strange clothes. The claustrophobia and horror of the plague-run capital is well conveyed, though of course the core plot concept was done very early in New Who with The Unquiet Dead. The banter between the Doctor and Nardole is caught well, and Bill also gets plenty to do. Solid stuff. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"We should leave. We definitely should leave. But... chatty ghosts!" The year is 1645, and Edinburgh is in the grip of the worst plague in its history. Nobody knows who will be the next to succumb - nobody except the Night Doctor, a masked figure that stalks the streets, seeking out those who will not live to see another day. But death is not the end. The Doctor, Bill and Nardole discover that the living are being haunted by the recently departed - by ghosts that do not know they are dead. And there are other creatures lurking in the shadows, slithering, creeping creatures filled with an insatiable hunger. The Doctor and his friends must face the terrifying secret of the Street of Sorrows - that something which has lain dormant for two hundred million years is due to destroy the entire city... An original novel featuring the Twelfth Doctor, Bill and Nardole as played by Peter Capaldi, Pearl Mackie and Matt Lucas. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

One part of the book I really enjoyed was when ever a Scottish character from 1645 spoke Jonathan wrote the speech in a Scottish accent lol. I love it when the Doctor goes back on Earth history it’s like having a fun history lesson lol. The idea that there is an active volcano ( )
