WHONIVERSE: An Unofficial Planet-by-Planet Guide to the Worlds of the Doctor from Galifrey to Skaro

by Lance Parkin (Author)

Synopsis

What exactly is Trenzalore? Where did the Sontarans originate? Where does the mysterious blue crystal get its powers from? Who are the Eight Legs? Which of the Doctor's companions come from Bortresoye? Whoniverse is the ultimate guide to planet spotting in all the weird and wonderful galaxies the Doctor travels through and beyond. Packed full of facts, stats, trivia and data, the book is organised according to the galaxies and star systems that appear in the Doctor Who stories. Encyclopedia style, each entry offers information on the planet, its native species, history, and the role it plays in the Doctor's journeys. Uniquely, the book is peppered with bespoke timelines that chart the Doctor's interaction with each planet, not just in his television appearances, but short stories, comics, and radio stories as well, making this the most comprehensive study of the Doctor Who universe ever compiled.
