Plot summary

The TARDIS lands the Doctor and Martha in the Lake District in 1909, where a small village has been terrorised by a giant, scaly monster. The search is on for the elusive 'Beast of Westmorland', and explorers, naturalists and hunters from across the country are descending on the fells. King Edward VII himself is on his way to join the search, with a knighthood for whoever finds the Beast.

But there is a more sinister presence at work in the Lakes than a monster on the rampage, and the Doctor is soon embroiled in the plans of an old and terrifying enemy - the Zygons. As the hunters become the hunted, a desperate battle of wits begin - with the future of the entire world at stake.

Audiobook

An abridged audiobook was released in July 2007. It is read by Reggie Yates (Leo Jones in the TV series).

gollark: It's a shame it'd be so annoying to register clicks on 3D objects when you're using the keyboard. We could have virtual 3D-positioned touchscreens.
gollark: I think 3D is relatively new in mainline plethora though.
gollark: I really should have read the docs in more detail then.
