Doctor Who: The Ruby’s Curse
Doctor Who: The Ruby’s Curse | Alex Kingston
5 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
She's got ice in her heart and a kiss on her lips... 1939, New York. Private Eye, Melody Malone, is hired to find a stolen ruby, the Eye of Horus. The ruby might hold the secret to the location of Cleopatra's tomb - but everyone who comes into contact with it dies. Can Melody escape the ruby's curse? 1939, New York. River Song, author of the Melody Malone Mysteries, is forced to find a reality-altering weapon, the Eye of Horus - but everyone who comes into contact with it dies. River doesn't believe in curses - but is she wrong? From the top-security confines of Stormcage to the barbarism of first-century Egypt, River battles to find the Eye of Horus before its powers are used to transform the universe. To succeed, she must team up with a most unlikely ally - her own fictional alter ego, Melody. And together they must solve another mystery: Is fiction changing into fact - or is fact changing into fiction?

I have to constantly remind myself that this takes place when Amy and Rory are stuck in the 1939s every time when River mentions them. Though, I'm kind of upset that her own comrade in the future (present?) has passed.

I‘m hoping this will be a short, fun romp. I love when the author reads their own books. They are always a joy to read.

52/150 This is a real treat for Doctor Who fan. Who doesn't love River Song? She's one of the best characters to come from the show, after the Doctor of course. This twisty time travel story has her moving from 51st century prison, Stormcage, to 30s NYC to 30 BC Egypt and back again. Plus it's a book with a book, you get both River's story and her fictitious(?) counterpart Melanie Malone. 4 â­â­â­â­ðŸ’«

Obviously, at some point in her travels, River Song met the fashionably challenged 6th incarnation of The Doctor. Poor Colin Baker had to wear the ugliest outfit the Doctor has ever worn.

KathyWheeler Yes, he did! It was horrible. 3y

Alex Kingston is wonderful reading River Song and all her exciting highjinks. I‘m just getting started but excited to see where it goes.
