To celebrate the return of the show-runner Russell T Davies to Doctor Who, as well as the 60th anniversary of the show, a special illustrated edition of Rose—the story that relaunched Doctor Who for the 21st century, novelised by Russell from his original script.

'Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life!'

In a lair somewhere beneath central London, a malevolent alien intelligence is plotting the end of humanity. Shop window dummies that can move—and kill—are taking up key positions, ready to strike.

Rose Tyler, an ordinary Londoner, is working her shift in a department store, unaware that this is the most important day of her life. She's about to meet the only man who understands the true nature of the threat facing Earth, a stranger who will open her eyes to all the wonder and terror of the universe—a traveller in time and space known as the Doctor.

Rose is the story that brought Doctor Who back for the 21st century—and Russell T Davies's novelisation, based on his script, set the standard for new-era Target novelisations. Now, with illustrations by acclaimed artist Robert Hack—this is Rose as you've never seen it before...
