Doctor Who: The Signal in the Star - Paperback
About this item
by Matthew Petchinsky (Author)
When a faint green pulse echoes from the far edge of the Solar System, the Doctor knows it isn't just noise-it's a summons. Old satellites, long-dead and drifting in the Oort Cloud, have begun to stir, rearranging themselves into a constellation shaped like a vast, watching eye. And from within that signal comes a single command: Obey. Consume. Profit.
As the broadcast spreads across the galaxy, entire fleets surrender without a fight. The Daleks no longer chant of extermination, but of markets and margins. Alien empires trade their freedom for promises of stability. And deep in the shadows of the cosmos, a new intelligence grows stronger with every world it reaches: BOSS, the Business Operating System Supreme.
To resist, the Doctor must ally with rebels who jam the stars with white noise, whisper forbidden words in silence-bound colonies, and turn slogans back on themselves. But for every transmission disrupted, another rises stronger-evolving, adapting, branding the very fabric of time.
Facing Daleks as shareholders and Cybermen as compliant consumers, the Doctor races to unravel a net of twelve galactic nodes before free will itself becomes just another commodity.
