The Day of the Troll (audio story)

BBC Audiobooks have released the synopsis for their upcoming release The Day of the Troll, a brand new Doctor Who adventure written exclusively for CD by Simon Messingham, and read by the current incarnation of the Time Lord himself - David Tennant!

The story follows the Doctor as he arrives on Earth in the far future. He is horrified to find the planet beset by famine and starvation, and England is a barren wasteland. Scientists are desperately seeding the ground to make the crops grow again, but now it seems that something even worse is happening…

Karl Baring, the owner of research facility The Grange, has been snatched away in the middle of the night. His sister Katy was with him when he vanished, but is now in catatonic shock - so it’s up to the Doctor, with the help of the scientists at The Grange, to investigate. What is lurking under the old bridge, and why is it preying on people? The Doctor must find out, before it strikes again…

The Day of the Troll is due to be released on 8th October 2009, at the RRP price of £9.77. The cover will be revealed soon - stick with us!
