Publisher's Summary
Donna Noble is back home in London, catching up with her family and generally giving them all the gossip about her journeys. Her grandfather is especially overjoyed — he's discovered a new star and had it named after him. He takes the Doctor, as his special guest, to the naming ceremony.
But the Doctor is suspicious about some of the other changes he can see in Earth's heavens. Particularly that bright star, right there. No, not that one, that one, there, on the left...
The world's population is slowly being converted to a new path, a new way of thinking. Something is coming to Earth, an ancient force from the Dark Times. Something powerful, angry, and all-consuming...
Characters
- Says of Aubrey Fairchild "clearly makes no impression on history".
References
- Geoff Noble, Martha Jones and UNIT are mentioned.
- Lukas Samuel Carnes goes to Park Vale Comprehensive School, the same school as Luke Smith and his friends do.
- The late wife of Wilf and mother of Sylvia was named Eileen.
Story Notes
- This is the last novel to feature Donna Noble.
- Indeed, the preface and epilogue are set post-Journey's End, suggesting a "goodbye" to Donna.
- Discounting the special case of the multi-authored The Story of Martha, this is presently the last announced Tenth Doctor Adventures release to feature the Doctor with a regular companion. As of January 2009 all announced novel releases for 2009 feature the Tenth Doctor travelling alone.
- Page 231 refers to Wilf's astrology books. Surely these should be astronomy books? Knowing Wilf, it could be Astrology, given his wide range of interests.
Continuity
- The Tycho satellite from SJA: The Last Sontaran is referred to.
- The Prime Minister is called Aubrey Fairchild. This is also the name of the deceased reverend in DW: The Next Doctor. This is most likely because an early draft DW: The Stolen Earth included a Prime Minister of the same name before his scenes were removed.
- This story is a sequel to the Fourth Doctor story DW: The Masque of Mandragora.
- Netty is referenced in The End of Time as a part of the Silver Cloak.
Timeline
- Beautiful Chaos occurs after: NSA: Shining Darkness / DW: Forest of the Dead
- Beautiful Chaos occurs before: DW: Turn Left
- The preface and epilogue occurs after DW: Journey's End
Audio releases
- This story was released on two disc audio CD read by Bernard Cribbins.
