Doctor Who: The Nu-Humans

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.

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.

Genuinely moving.

—— The Times

The honest, revealing material brings you closer to the truth about this extraordinary man.

—— Sun

A revealing reflection of an extraordinary life.

—— Daily Express

Witty with bursts of Smithy-style sincerity - it is distinctively Corden.

—— Independent

It'll make you lol but is also full of poignancy in classic Smithy Style

—— Company Magazine

Strong accounts of his highs and lows... [the book] lays bare the distorting lens of modern celebrity.

—— London Life

Cute on the machinations of the industry and internal band politics

—— The Times, Book of the Week

Brilliant... forensically put together

—— Gordon Smart , XFM

The real pleasure of his beguiling, meandering narrative is not the destination but the rococo scenery en route. ****
