Publishers Summanry
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 . . .

Story notes
- Given the events of Journey's End, and the fact that she is not featured in the other two novels being released concurrently (The Eyeless and The Story of Martha), it is anticipated that this may be the final novel to feature Donna Noble. In July 2008 it was announced that the first three novels of 2009 will not feature Donna Noble.
- Indeed, the preface and epilogue are set post-Journey's End, suggesting a "goodbye" to Donna.
- The Prime Minister is called Aubrey Fairchild. This is also the name of the deceased reverend in DW: The Next Doctor.
- Geoff Noble, Martha Jones and UNIT are mentioned.
