As you know, I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. For other Whovians out there, my first Doctor was Tom Baker. My favorite? David Tennant.
Now last week's episode, "The Angels Take Manhattan," not only brought back the weeping angels, which is a scary storyline in itself, but also was the final episode for the married companions, Rory and Amy. A heartbreaking episode, even though I for one am ready for a new companion, it took you through so many loops it was hard to believe it all happened in just an hour. What was interesting, was that it was that the story itself was found to be in book form. How many of us thought it would be neat if we could actually get our hands on that book? Well, BBC has released an ebook about the dame detective who's "packing cleavage that could fell an ox at twenty feet."
Doctor Who: The Angel's Kiss, by Justin Richards, has the same cover and some of the story as the book the Doctor and Amy read, this isn't the same future telling novel. Rather than a full novel in which Rory, Amy, and the Doctor showing up halfway through, The Angel's Kiss is a short story starring River as the wry detective named Melody Malone.
Here's the synopsis:
On some days, New York is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
This was one of the other days…
This was one of the other days…
Melody Malone, owner and sole employee of the Angel Detective Agency, has an unexpected caller. It's movie star Rock Railton, and he thinks someone is out to kill him. When he mentions the ‘kiss of the Angel', she takes the case. Angels are Melody's business…
At the press party for Railton's latest movie, studio owner Max Kliener invites Melody to the film set of their next blockbuster. He's obviously spotted her potential, and Melody is flattered when Kliener asks her to become a star. But the cost of fame, she'll soon discover, is greater than anyone could possibly imagine.
Will Melody be able to escape Kliener's dastardly plan – before the Angels take Manhattan?
