A new Target novelisation from David Tennant's era of Doctor Who

DOCTOR WHO- THE SATAN PIT

The Doctor and Rose travel to Krop Tor - an impossible planet orbiting a black hole, defying the laws of physics. 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.
