Ghosts of India
As it has now been officially announced in Doctor Who Magazine issue 392, out this week, I'm finally at liberty to tell you that I have been commissioned to write another in the BBC's hugely successful Doctor Who book range!
The new novel will be entitled Ghosts of India, and will be published in September. I'm incredibly excited to be writing another Who book so soon after Forever Autumn. I had a fantastic time last year, and met some brilliant people who have since become very good friends, and can't wait to do it all again this year.
Here's the official BBC blurb:
India in 1947 is a country in the grip of chaos - a country torn apart by internal strife. When the Doctor and Donna arrive in Calcutta, they are instantly swept up in violent events.
Barely escaping with their lives, they discover that the city is rife with tales of 'half-made men', who roam the streets at night and steal people away. These creatures, it is said, are as white as salt and have only shadows where their eyes should be.
With help from India's great spiritual leader, Mohandas 'Mahatma' Gandhi, the Doctor and Donna set out to investigate these rumours.
But what is the real truth behind the 'half-made men'? Why is Gandhi's role in history under threat? And has an ancient, all-powerful god of destruction really come back to wreak vengeance upon the earth?
