Doctor Who: Engines of War
Doctor Who: Engines of War | George Mann
10 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
"I've had many faces. Many lives. I don't admit to all of them. There's one life I've tried very hard to forget-the Doctor who fought in the Time War." The Great Time War has raged for centuries, ravaging the universe. The Daleks and the Time Lords deploy ever more dangerous weapons in desperate attempts at victory, but there is no end in sight. On the outer rim of the Tantalus Eye, scores of human colony planets are now overrun by Dalek occupation forces. A weary, angry Doctor leads a flotilla of Battle TARDISes against the Dalek stronghold but in the midst of the carnage, the Doctor's TARDIS crashes to a planet below: Moldox. As the Doctor is trapped in an apocalyptic landscape, Dalek patrols roam amongst the wreckage, rounding up the remaining civilians. But why haven't the Daleks simply killed the humans? Searching for answers, the Doctor meets 'Cinder', a young Dalek hunter. Their struggles to discover the Dalek plan take them from the ruins of Moldox to the halls of Gallifrey and set in chain events that will change everything. And everyone.

A dark Doctor Who adventure, starring John Hurt's the War Doctor. The Doctor battles both the Daleks and the Time Lords as the Time War escalates, and neither side cares about the innocents caught in the crossfire. This takes place before The Day of the Doctor TV episode. 4 💥💥💥💥 (I wish I had Dalek or Tardis icons)

1. Tagged book, plus Yours Cruelly Elvira (audiobook) and Work Won't Love You Back (ebook).
2. I just started the Doctor Who book so it's too soon to tell. Elvira is great, definitely get the audio because she's great at telling her story. Work is kind of slow but I'm slogging through it.
Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

I really do like the War Doctor and therefore enjoyed this book very much. Especially his friendship with Cinder is very touching. But also the background information about the Time Lords and the Time War were great to read. Doctor Who Extended Universe for the win! ❤️

Hubbie : Are you hungry?
Me: Maybe a little. Why?
H: I made you a sandwich.
M: A sandwich?
H: *hands over books* Or rather a War-Who-Wich 😁

I just love him 😄

Got some orthodontic work done today and am finding it hard to eat. BF suggested I replace tomorrow's sandwich with soup. Naturally, I had to quote the War Doctor, in The Day of the Doctor: "What is 'Cup-a-Soup?'"

rabbitprincess @Laura317 Me too! That would be a good one. @Dragon Thanks! It will probably take a couple of days to adjust. I am very impatient though 😉 7y

RIP John Hurt, star of many amazing films and a wonderful addition to the Doctor Who canon in his role as the War Doctor.

RIP John Hurt. The War Doctor is one of my favourite Doctors, and Control was brilliant.

Also fondly remembering an interview with Ian McShane where he said John asked him "Have you any idea how to turn [his mobile phone] on?" Ian: You have Facebook and Twitter but can't turn on your phone? John: "My wife runs those."

rabbitprincess @MrBook The Alien quadrilogy belongs to my BF. I can't watch it 😰 @DGRachel I know! He had pancreatic cancer, so I am sadly not surprised, but it still sucks. 8y
