For centuries the Maintainers have worked. With no help from other worlds, they subsist on the food they can grow and that''s little enough. But their purpose, their whole life is to maintain the machines that will one day make their world as habitable as old Earth. Life used to be hard. Now as their crops fail, livestock sickens, and the temperature drops, it''s becoming impossible. This year''s Winter Season Feast won''t be the usual celebration. It''s not a time for optimism or hope - and it''s not a time to welcome unexpected guests. The Doctor, Amy, and Rory find a society breaking apart under the strain. Tensions are mounting, old rivalries are coming to the fore, people are dying... And then the Doctor''s old enemies, the Ice Warriors, make their move. With the cold-hearted threat of invasion, the real battle for survival begins. Or does it? The Doctor begins to suspect that behind everything lies a deadlier, and even more chilling danger...

Industry Reviews

An entertaining, easy-going read and Abnett gets the regulars dead on . 4/5, A taut and readable book that exploits its isolated outpost setting to good effect. The Silent Stars Go By is certainly as solid a slice of Who storytelling as you ll find this year., Exciting, very good and a great read are the exact words that best describe Dan Abnett s Doctor Who book The Silent Stars Go By, Like a hunting Martian ploughing remorselessly, effortlessly through freshly fallen snow of an ice world, the novel skilfully establishes its target and never fails to relinquish it; intrigue, scares, uncompromising adventure and all important character development... For a DOCTOR WHO novel, it s both equally accomplished and accessible."
