Doctor Who: The Three Doctors

A mysterious black hole is draining away power from the Universe. Even the Time Lords are threatened. The Doctor is also in trouble. Creatures from the black hole besiege UNIT Headquarters. The only person who can help the Doctor is... himself.

The Time Lords bring together the first three incarnations of the Doctor to discover the truth about the black hole and stop the energy drain.

The Doctors and their companions travel through the black hole itself, into a universe of anti-matter. Here they meet one of the very first Time Lords - Omega, who gave his race the power to travel through time. Trapped for aeons in the black hole, he now plans to escape - whatever the cost.

This novel is based on a Doctor Who story which was originally broadcast from 30 December 1972 to 20 January 1973.

Featuring the first three Doctors as played by William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee, together with Jo Grant and the UNIT organisation commanded by Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart

Reviews

A stunningly sad and heroically hopeful tale ... This is a beautiful novel about relationships of the most makeshift kind.

—— O, The Oprah Magazine

Full of surprises and love and healing, Heft is the most unsentimental sentimental journey you will read this year.

—— The Times

Heft is written with a dry wit and the characters are hugely likeable … It’s moving and tragic too.

—— Daily Mail

Nuanced and poignant… each of the three acutely written principals of Moore’s second novel hooks the reader in a heartbeat. Heft is an understated yet intensely emotional work.

—— Financial Times

A gentle fiction, as big-hearted as it’s star is heavy.

—— Vogue

Heft is a suspenseful, restorative novel from one of our fine young voices

—— Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin

Moore’s characters are lovingly drawn . . . A truly original voice.

—— The New Yorker

Liz Moore has a light touch… she never takes her characters too seriously, letting their drama and sadness trickle through slowly rather than undamming any torrent of emotion or sentimentality. This knack is largely down to her seemingly effortless, economic prose as well as her appreciation of the notion of loneliness.

—— Time Out

A book to be devoured

—— Heat

an engaging, warm-hearted novel'

—— Scotland on Sunday

This clever and very funny twist on the traditional zombie novel is exceedingly well executed . . . Great stuff for horror and fantasy fans

—— BOOKLIST(Starred Review)

Logan has a flair for unique description . . . an impressive start for an author who’s going places

—— PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Its unhinged, imaginative wit and respect for the genre deserve the attention of any self-respecting fan

—— FANGORIA

Apocalypse Cow treads that rare path between horrific and hilarious, which makes for a very fun read indeed. Give it a go.

—— CHRISTOPHER MOORE, author of Lamb, Fool, and A Dirty Job

Logan manages to find a great balance between the dark and disturbing and the quirky and hilarious, all the while intermingling plotlines like a seasoned pro

—— RUE MORGUE

Taylor’s love and understanding of Victorian melodrama is put to good use in this tangibly detailed and deliciously written pastiche centred on an Epsom Derby swindle

—— Sunday Telegraph

This is a fictional world in which daughters are ready to bump off their fathers, husbands to exploit their wives, and everyone is happy to chance their assets on the wheel of fortune. It’s a novel that will keep you gripped until the very last furlong

—— Emma Hagestadt , Independent

It is a detective story as gripping as the Victorian novels that inspired it, and is written with narrative flair and a terrific sense of fun

—— Robert Douglas-Fairhurst , Daily Telegraph

Derby Day will be hard to put down... As ever with Taylor, literary complexities lurk under the smooth surface of a stylish page-turner

—— Conde Nast Traveller
