Items related to Doctor Who: The Wheel of Ice (DOCTOR WHO, 149)
The Wheel. A ring of ice and steel around a moon of Saturn, and home to a mining colony supplying Earth. It’s a bad place to grow up.
The colony has been plagued by problems and there are stories of mysterious creatures glimpsed aboard the Wheel. Many of the younger workers refuse to go down the warren-like mines anymore. And then young Phee Laws, surfing Saturn’s rings, saves an enigmatic blue box from destruction.
Aboard the Wheel, the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe find themselves caught in a mystery that goes right back to the creation of the solar system. A mystery that could kill them all.

Review:
A master of the genre tackles the Time Lord with great results. Sci-Fi Bulletin
Baxter nails one of the basic elements of any book like this one, capturing the voices of his three main characters with such precision that Troughton is almost audible in the Doctor s lines. The A.V. Club
Baxter has created almost the perfect Doctor Who novel: it stays true to the era in which it is set; it s understandable for an intelligent child but not dumbed down for adults; it feels like something we could have seen on TV, even though the production designer would have had a heart attack and most importantly it never feels cliched or corny It works as good Doctor Who and as a solid science-fiction tale. Highly recommended. TimeVault
Baxter creates a near pitch-perfect evocation of Team TARDIS [He] takes full advantage of the limitless scale and budget afforded by the reader s imagination. Blogtor Who
A return to epic adventure. SFcrowsnest
