Equipped with space suits, golf clubs and a flag, the Doctor and Rose are planning to live it up, Apollo mission-style, on the Moon. But the TARDIS has other plans, landing them instead in a village on the south coast of England; a picture-postcard sort of place where nothing much happens. Until now... An archaeological dig has turned up a Roman mosaic, circa 70 A.D., depicting mythical scenes, grapes - and a Dalek. A few days later a young woman, rushing for work, is knocked over and killed by a bus, then comes back to life. It's not long before all hell breaks loose, and the Doctor and Rose must use all their courage and cunning against an alien enemy - and a not-quite-alien accomplice - who are intent on destroying humanity.

I liked this book a lot more than the last DW Quick Reads I read; The Sontaran Games. Possibly because it mentioned a lot more backstory of The Doctor and Rose. Would have liked a bit more explanation of how Kate changed, etc. but I guess some things have to be sacrificed to have it fit into little ...
Young reader book. Still quite good. It has the feel, sound and action of a Doctor Who story. The Dalek is true to itself and The Doctor and Rose are in character. The Doctor is a little less manic than usual but then again he's facing off with a Dalek. It's a quick read but a good one.
