Doctor Who: The Robot Revolution

15th Doctor Novelisation

What if the story of your life is written in the stars?

Reach for the stars as the Fifteenth Doctor and Belinda Chandra – as played by Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu – rock each other’s worlds for the first time. This novelisation of Russell T Davies’ script comes from best-selling tie-in author Una McCormack.
Reader Varada Sethu plays Belinda in the BBC TV series.
