The Nemonite Invasion - Cover

Photobucket
Previously reported was the news on the release of the new audio CD, The Nemonite Invasion, but we had no details or covers. Now, thanks to Doctor Who Online, we have the full cover, and a bit more information than we had before. Even though Donna has now left the Doctor in the series, she is still in this audio, and it has now been confirmed that the whole thing will be read by her! And the Doctor is the same as he was, the 10th Doctor, even if we don't hear his voice throughout it. No synopsis has been released for the product yet, but we can assume that it won't be long until it will be. We now know that the CD will be avaliable in the UK and Ireland on the 12th of February next year, with the RRP price of £9.99. You can see the full cover here!

The Abominable Snowman CD

The Abominable Snowman was a Classic Series story, first shown in 1967. The BBC have now confirmed that the story will go on sale as an audiobook in January next year. Many other Classic Series Adventures are doing the same; coming out as an audio. The story way back then featured Patrick Troughton as the second Doctor, and this CD will also be read by him. The story was originally written by Terrance Dicks for the show. In the set, there will be a total of four discs, with over four hours of content! You can see the cover of the disc in small on the left. The CD will be released on 8th of January next year and will be on sale at the RRP price of £17.99.

Nemonite & Allies

A new book and audio adventure have been planned for release next year. The book is a follow on from the series of books, which has had titles in the past like 'Monsters and Villains' and more recently 'Starships and Spacestations'. The new one is set to be called 'Companions and Allies'. Obviously, the book shall be comprised of fact files of many different friends the Doctor has had in the New, and also the Classic Series. This book hasbn't been officially confirmed yet, but it is very likely that it will go on sale sometime in the near future. The first three books in the series just covered the many Aliens and Creatures, but since last year they have moved on from that, with more variety. If it does go on sale, it will be RRP priced at £7.99, like ones before it. Another new product in a series is 'The Nemonite Invasion'. It is a new adventure for the tenth Doctor, exclusive to audio. This is the third story in the series, following on from 'Pest Control' and 'The Forever Trap'. Little is known yet about the product, like if the Doctor will be on his own, or with a companion, but we know that the writer is David Roden. More news on both these items when we get it!

The Doctor tracks down the missing scientists and journeys into the past to save them. But can he defeat the ruthless Linx and his savage human allies before the course of human history is changed forever?

The Time Warrior will be on sale on 13th November 2008 and will cost £17.99. The Krotons should be released at about the same time, but at the RRP price of £13.99.
