Synopsis

‘They called it Enamour. It turned minds, sold merchandise, and swayed elections. And it did its job far too well...’ In the city-state of Geath, the King lives in a golden hall, and the people want for nothing. Everyone is happy and everyone is rich. Or so it seems. When the Doctor, Amy and Rory look beneath the surface, they discover a city of secrets. In dark corners, strange creatures are stirring. At the heart of the hall, a great metal dragon oozes gold. Then the Herald appears, demanding the return of her treasure... And next come the gunships. The battle for possession of the treasure has begun, and only the Doctor and his friends can save the people of the city from being destroyed in the crossfire of an ancient civil war. But will the King surrender his new-found wealth? Or will he fight to keep it...? Nicholas Briggs, the 'voice of the Daleks', reads this thrilling story featuring the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the hit BBC TV series.

On television, Matt Smith's Doctor didn't utter a single line written by a woman - which makes this contemporaneous novel written by a female author all the more fascinating. What we have here is The Doctor and his companions stepping into the realm of high fantasy. I’d almost be tempted to call it ‘......more

I don't know why this wasn't an exciting story, but it never got me enthusiastic. It's about a world seduce with a metal called Enamour and the repercussions this love for "gold" has on it's citizens; an old race comes back to get the metal and maybe there will be a war about it or not. I don't thin......more

Average Doctor Who adventure that captures The Doctor, Amy and Rory well. I particularly liked the subtle reference to Star Trek.......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on January 17, 2011

It is VERY difficult to get me to enjoy a Doctor Who novel with a heavy fantasy base…it’s simply not my cup of tea. That said, it’s as if Ms. McCormack had read that in my mind and took it as a challenge. Dragon-shaped spaceships, medieval-looking civilizations founded on rational debate and mutual......more
