Author:James Goss,Colin McFarlane
An asteroid in the furthest reaches of space – the most secure prison for the most dangerous of criminals. The Governor is responsible for the cruellest murderers so he’s not impressed by the arrival of the man they’re calling the most dangerous criminal in the quadrant. Or, as he prefers to be known, the Doctor. But when the new prisoner immediately sets about trying to escape, and keeps trying, the Governor sets out to find out why. Who is the Doctor and what’s he really doing here? And who is the young woman who comes every day to visit him, only to be turned away by the guards? When the killing finally starts, the Governor begins to get his answers... Colin McFarlane, who was the Voice of the Heavenly Host in the TV episode 'Voyage of the Damned', reads this complete and unabridged novel by James Goss. It features the Twelfth Doctor, as played by Peter Capaldi in the hit BBCTV series Doctor Who.

The Blood Cell is rewarding... with plenty of gratifying little moments
—— Patrick Kavanagh-Sproull , http://www.doctorwhotv.co.ukStanding out…are two fine studies of literary monsters. John Henry Jones’s piece on the poet and critic William Empson…[and] Terry Castle’s memoir of Susan Sontag…there are some terrific stories.
—— John Walsh , IndependentA glimpse inside the lives of bookish people … Emily Witt writes one of the best things ever about online dating
—— Evening StandardThe best sheer quality writing of any magazine I know.
—— GuardianThis astute novel is witness to an undeniable literary talent tragically cut short
—— Sonia Zhuravlyova , LadyHer writing is harder and more vicious… Nemirovsky is fascinated by the impact of war on human behaviour
—— Louise Heighes , MetroLike Suite Française, this is a gripping novel that at the same time is a terrible indictment
—— John Sutherland , The TimesIt’s a sobering glimpse of the lives and loves of ordinary Parisians, and the best and worst of human nature

—— Anne Garvey , Jewish ChronicleA convincing portrait of human nature in the crucible of war
—— Good Book GuideA beautifully written book
—— Sue Glynn , NudgeThis sweeping novel cements Nemirovsky’s place as a master storyteller
—— Craig Brown , Daily MailThought-provoking, and at times brutal, this thriller will surely be the basis of many discussions about the nature of society and the times we live in
—— Irish ExaminerPeyton Marshall is a writer of intelligence and keen observation with a great future. GOODHOUSE is a startling debut. In James, she has created a compelling and convincing hero for the all-too-probable dark times ahead
—— A L KENNEDYVery arty, and strangely uplifting
—— Evening StandardHilarious, loving and deadly serious
—— Berlingske TidendeSome pieces of literature, no matter how great an effort you make as a critic, cannot be opened or captured in a way that does justice to the work. That’s how I feel about Helle Helle’s new and unusually precious novel... Most of the sentences are small works of art, containing a whole story in themselves
—— WeekendavisenThis Should be Written in the Present Tense is an excellent novel, yet another sleek and nonchalant masterpiece from Helle Helle
—— InformationHelle Helle has written a captivating novel about Dorte Hansen, who sleepwalks through life, letting chance rule
—— PolitikenA beautiful tale examining the processes of life
—— Good Book GuideEschewing a conventional narrative, this absorbing novel deceptively contains a crackling energy within its understated, artful prose
