Doctor Who: The Nu-Humans

By: Cavan Scott, Mark Wright

Narrated by: Raquel Cassidy

The Doctor, Amy and Rory are awe-struck by their first sight of Hope Eternal, a super-earth bigger than Earth itself with heavy gravity, volcanoes and a crust loaded with mineral deposits. But their wonder is cut short when they discover a body dumped on the ground - a huge figure with extraordinarily long arms covered in thick, purple scales. Yet the corpse is not alien: he's human, albeit unlike any human Amy and Rory have ever seen. The Nu-Humans have adapted their genes to fit their new environment, and formed a thriving colony. But now they are facing a terrible threat. Can the Doctor find out who is killing Nu-Humans and why - before he, Amy and Rory are themselves tried for murder? Written specially for audio by Cavan Scott and Mark Wright, The Nu-Humans features the Doctor, Amy and Rory as played by Matt Smith, Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill in the acclaimed hit series from BBC Television. It is read by Raquel Cassidy, who played Miranda Cleaves in the 2011 TV episodes The Rebel Flesh and The Almost People.

Critic reviews

The Nu-Humans is part action adventure, part morality tale and part Poirot... Raquel Cassidy’s gorgeous reading brings fun and tension to the table as well as delicious malice... Wonderful stuff. (Andrea McGuire-Seery)

ok all the way around.

Book was ok all the way around. Was good enough that I will try another one.

It was "okay"

Not a favorite, their was way too much introduction, and it felt like the story was over before it got started. Kind of a letdown plot development anyway. It's hard to squeeze a good story into such a short book, but there are other titles that do it better. Raquel Cassidy isn't a favorite narrator either. I'd say spend your money on some of the other stories first.

Excellent!

Raquel Cassidy was splendid in her reading of this exciting Doctor Who story. She was able to capture the nuances of all the characters extremely well. I'm headed over to the Audible library to find more!
