Publisher’s summary
Starfall - a world on the edge, where crooks and smugglers hide in the gloomy shadows and modern technology refuses to work. And that includes the TARDIS.
The pioneers who used to be drawn by the hope of making a fortune from the mines can find easier picking elsewhere. But they still come, for the romance of it, or in the hope of finding the lost treasure of Hamlek Glint -- scourge of the spaceways, privateer, adventurer, bandit...
Will the TARDIS ever work again? Is Glint's lost treasure waiting to be found? And does the fabled Resurrection Casket -- the key to eternal life -- really exist? With the help of new friends, and facing terrifying enemies, the Doctor and Rose aim to find out...

Notes
- There are some instances where Jimm is misspelled 'Jim'.
- Later reprints of this book removed the image of Billie Piper from the cover, presumably due to use-of-likeness issues after she had left the programme.
- This story was also released as an ebook available from the Amazon Kindle store.
Continuity
- The Doctor has everlasting matches which the First Doctor also had (and claimed to have invented) in the novelisation of The Daleks. The Tenth Doctor explains how they work whereas the First Doctor does not, but they are likely the same thing.
- Pg 30 "'And the belt's so rich in trisilicate and stooku,' Jimm told him, 'you can make your fortune.'" Trisilicate was the mineral in The Monster of Peladon. with pg 67 and 193 once again mentioning Trisilicate.
- Pg 15 has a mention of a crank handle in the cupboard close to the main doors. This may be a reference to Death To the Daleks.
