Touched by an Angel was the tenth Eleventh Doctor novel to be released.

Publisher's summary

"The past is like a foreign country. Nice to visit, but you really wouldn’t want to live there."

In 2003, Rebecca Whitaker died in a road accident. Her husband Mark is still grieving. He receives a battered envelope, posted eight years ago, containing a set of instructions with a simple message: "You can save her."

As Mark is given the chance to save Rebecca, it’s up to the Doctor, Amy and Rory to save the whole world. Because this time the Weeping Angels are using history itself as a weapon.

Characters

References

  • The Doctor finds a book named The Venusian Book of Calm in his coat pocket.
  • The Doctor claims that the timey-wimey detector's ability to boil an egg is not a side-effect, but rather a feature.
  • The Weeping Angels have access to psychic paper, which according to the Doctor, is "child's play" for them.
  • The Doctor refers to Mark's letter to himself as a "Sally Sparrow survival kit".

Notes

The Blinovitch Limitation Effect is greatly explored; The two Marks create a field of energy, simply by being in the same room, and the Doctor uses his Sonic Screwdriver to lessen the Effect on future Rory, allowing him to make contact with his past self without consequence.
