An asteroid in the furthest reaches of space – the most secure prison for the most dangerous of criminals.

Or, as he prefers to be known, the Doctor. But when the new prisoner immediately sets about trying to escape, and keeps trying, the Governor sets out to find out why. Who is the Doctor and what’s he really doing here? And who is the young woman who comes every day to visit him, only to be turned away by the guards? When the killing finally starts, the Governor begins to get his answers...

Critic reviews

The Blood Cell is rewarding... with plenty of gratifying little moments (Patrick Kavanagh-Sproull)

Loved it!!

Big whovian so I really enjoyed this. Look forward to another one for next week.

Exciting!

I enjoyed the storyline, the narration was outstanding and the twelfth Doctor rocks of course.

Utterly Fantastic

I’ve really enjoyed the Dr Who stories and at the end of each one, I say it’s my favorite. This is no exception. The story is well written, and Colin McFarlane narrates it fantastically. It’s easy to feel like you are a part of the story. I recommend this book to all looking for great entertainment.

12th Doctor Awesomeness!

This was a great listen. Both author and narrator captured the Doctor brilliantly. I wasn't a huge fan of the narrator's voice for Clara, but it wasn't too bad. The POV character is the Doctor's jailer, which as you can imagine is an incredibly frustrating position. One of the better Doctor stories I've read/listened to.

Excellent!

One of the best Doctor Who Novels I have ever had the pleasure of listening to!
