What really happened during the time the Doctor was on Trenzalore? Well if this cover is anything to go by a lot of really cool stuff. Autons! Krynoids! Ice Warriors! And... the Mara!?! Jumping Jehosophat! What did we get? Some Weeping Angels and a wooden Cyberman... So if you're more inclined to know all of the good stuff that happened on Trenzalore that we didn't get to see in what was a rather convoluted story arc, then this is the book for you! I'll certainly grab a copy should it get a physical release.
As it had been foretold, the armies of the Universe gathered at Trenzalore. Only one thing stood between the planet and destruction – the Doctor.
For nine hundred years, he defended the planet, and the tiny town of Christmas, against the forces that would destroy it.
He never knew how long he could keep the peace. He never knew what creatures would emerge from the snowy night to threaten him next. He knew only that at the end he would die on Trenzalore.
Some of what happened during those terrible years is well documented.
But most of it remains shrouded in mystery and darkness. Until now. This is a glimpse of just some of the terrors the people faced, the monstrous threats the Doctor defeated. These are the tales of the monsters who found themselves afraid – and of the one man who was not.
(Tales of Trenzalore documents four of the Doctor’s adventures from different periods during the Siege of Trenzalore and the ensuing battle:
Let it Snow – by Justin Richards
An Apple a Day – by George MannStrangers in the Outland – by Paul Finch
The Dreaming – by Mark Morris)
Looks really great, I will definitely be downloading it
