Summary
Mark Gatiss reads the brand new novelisation of the Twelfth Doctor’s dramatic final adventure. Still reeling from his encounter with the Cybermen, the First Doctor stumbles through the bitter Antarctic wind, resisting the approaching regeneration with all his strength. But as he fights his way through the snowdrifts, he comes across the familiar shape of a blue police box, and a mysterious figure who introduces himself as the Doctor…
Thrown together at their most vulnerable moments, the two Doctors must discover why the snowflakes are suspended in the sky, why a First World War Captain has been lifted from his time stream moments before his death, and who is the mysterious Glass Woman who knows their true name. The Doctor is reunited with Bill, but is she all she seems? And can he hold out against the coming regeneration?

Fantastic Farewell to 12 and 1
Better than the TV Story with nice added details and seeing the thoughts in the characters’ heads.
Gatiss did a great job at narration and replicating enough of the emotion of the TV actors. My one issue is the Dalek’s/Rusty’s weapon sound effect. Instead of a Dalek energy sound or even a generic sci-fi laser sound, it’s a round of bullets. This really does distract from the scenes the sound appears in as it’s repeated several times.

Briliant
The multi talented Mark Gatiss is a superb narrator if this tale. His ability to play all the parts with such subtlety is genius. The story flew past and I was genuinely disappointed when I realised there were no more chapters. So I listened again.

Saved by the narration
This is a decent Doctor Who story that errs on the edge of grand self-indulgence - except that Mark Gatiss’ narration is so good that it saves the entire thing.

a fitting end for the 12th Doctor
Narrator performed quite remarkably providing almost indistinguishable accents to the respective cast. A very enjoyable story which kept me hooked till the very end

If you have never heard of Dr Who,Start here.
Ok,so lets start with the negative. Paul Cornell occasionally tries to be clever and breaks the 4th wall. Personally I hate that. for example, the video copy of the Dalek Masterplan, the Daleks would lover to get hold of a copy because they have lost theirs... Please don't do this. Breaking that wall brings you crashing out of the narrative, Its not funny, not clever and not right.
That out of the way, this is a fantastic novelization. Mark Gatiss perfectly captures the tone and the spirit. The dialogue sparkles and the additional background that Paul Cornell brings is beautifully judged.
