Publisher's summary
Meet the new Doctor Who classics.

“Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!”

In a lair somewhere beneath central London, a malevolent alien intelligence is plotting the end of humanity. Shop window dummies that can move – and kill – are taking up key positions, ready to strike.

Rose Tyler, an ordinary Londoner, is working her shift in a department store, unaware that this is the most important day of her life. She's about to meet the only man who understands the true nature of the threat facing Earth, a stranger who will open her eyes to all the wonder and terror of the universe – a traveller in time and space known as the Doctor.

Deviations from televised story

 * H.P. Wilson is renamed to Bernard Wilson, his position at Henrik's is Senior Caretaker instead of Chief Electrical Officer.
 * The novelisation includes the scene from the end of the television story The End of Time where the Tenth Doctor visits Rose Tyler right before his regeneration.
 * Mickey's mother, father, and grandmother are expanded upon. Three of Mickey's mates live in his flat and they form the Bad Wolf band. One is a transgender woman named Sally.
 * Clive shows Rose pictures of incarnations other than the Ninth Doctor: "a man with a fantastic jaw, dressed in a tweed jacket and bow tie, an older, angry man in a brown caretaker's coat, holding a mop, a blonde woman in braces running away from a giant frog in front of Buckingham Palace; a tall, bald black woman wielding a flaming sword, and a young girl or boy in a hi-tech wheelchair with what looked like a robot dog at their side".
