Publisher’s summary
Starfall - a world on the edge, where crooks and smugglers hide in the gloomy shadows and modern technology refuses to work. And that includes the TARDIS.

The pioneers who used to be drawn by the hope of making a fortune from the mines can find easier picking elsewhere. But they still come, for the romance of it, or in the hope of finding the lost treasure of Hamlek Glint -- scourge of the spaceways, privateer, adventurer, bandit...

Will the TARDIS ever work again? Is Glint's lost treasure waiting to be found? And does the fabled Resurrection Casket -- the key to eternal life -- really exist? With the help of new friends, and facing terrifying enemies, the Doctor and Rose aim to find out...
