This great book by best selling writer JT Colgan has the 11th Doctor arriving in the far past and encountering Vikings and Scotlanders at a settlement along with something else. There's also a fire thing. The TV show can learn a thing or two about DW from this book. First, there's action. Second, a historical setting with dignity (no closets for Eric the Red here), third, a Doctor who can be serious, funny, and make references to the past classic series and to other things such as the Wicker Man. Fourth: great secondary characters for the Doctor to interact with, all of them. All of them seem real and like people who might want to meet. They're not character cut outs like Amy, Rory, River, Nixon, Churchill are on the awful TV show now. The TARDIS and the Doctor dive underwater in some brilliant sequences and the imagery throughout the entire book is just great, well done!
If you want, I can try to do a synopsis of the book.

Looks great! Should be getting a copy this week!
What's next in the way of new Who novels? Seems like the BBC series of the small hardcover books has ended. I got a copy of Wheel of Ice. But slim pickings for new Dr Who novels this year and last.
