Book cover of Doctor Who: The Kaleidoscope: Circuit Breaker by Jo Martin

Doctor Who: The Kaleidoscope: Circuit Breaker

When memories lie, the truth can be fatal.

In the aftermath of an improbable mission, the Fugitive Doctor and Martha realise that something is interfering with their minds. Something that doesn’t want to be found.

Their investigation leads to a curious artefact in the British Museum: an apparently medieval toy known as the Kaleidoscope. But the object refuses to stay in one place, one time – or one identity. And when the Doctor is repeatedly mistaken for someone she’s never met, fragments of unfamiliar memories begin to surface.

Across the Earth, a hidden pattern emerges; evidence of a secret that someone has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal. As ancient enemies close in and innocent lives are put at risk, the Doctor learns the hard way that some truths were buried for a reason…

A key instalment of the Doctor Who transmedia event Circuit Breaker, this novel is written by the Fugitive Doctor herself, Jo Martin – and also features Martha Jones (as played by Freema Agyeman) together with the Unified Intelligence Taskforce, or UNIT.

The Doctor brings Rose home a year after she left… to find London in chaos. A spaceship has crashed into the Thames and an alien body lies in the wreckage. The Doctor uncovers a chilling conspiracy at the heart of Downing Street as ruthless alien invaders take control – members of the Family Slitheen.

The Doctor, Rose, and the MP for Flydale North must fight to expose the Slitheen infiltration – before the Earth falls prey to a deadly interstellar con that will ignite World War Three.

With the TARDIS lost to them, trapped with a crew of human explorers and their alien servants, the Ood, they find ancient ruins... and something far older and darker stirring beneath the surface.

Whispers speak of a malevolent force imprisoned since before time – something that even the Doctor fears. As seismic horrors rise and minds begin to fracture, one terrifying question remains: What if the Devil is real?

Screenwriter Matt Jones presents an inspired and novel retelling of his own two-part adventure from David Tennant’s first season as the Tenth Doctor, also starring Billie Piper as Rose.
