Product Description
Product Description
The Doctor has his TARDIS to get him from place to place and time to time, but the rest of the Universe relies on more conventional transport. From the British Space Programme of the late twentieth century to Earth's Empire in the far future, from the terrifying Dalek Fleet to deadly Cyber Ships, this book documents the many starships and spacestations that the Doctor and his companions have encountered on their travels. In this stunningly-illustrated book, Doctor Who historian Justin Richards documents the amazing story of Earth's ventures into space, examines the many alien fleets who have paid Earth a visit, and explores the other starships and spacestations that the Doctor has encountered on his many travels.

Just an episode guide, Nov 17 2008
By SRFireside "ZOOM!" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Doctor Who: Starships And Spacestations (Paperback)
If you are looking for an encyclopedia of the many nifty spaceships you have seen in the many years of Doctor Who episodes you will have to wait longer. This book, while does have some nice pictures of the more notable spacecraft from the long running series, gives you absolutely nothing in regards to details on those vessels. All you get is a plot synopsis from the episode the ship aired on and on many entries a behind the scenes tidbit on design or construction of the ship. Nothing else.This book is part of a series of paperbacks being created due to the current upswing of the Doctor Who series. For new and casual fans it would be a pretty neat book to have as long as you know what you're getting into. For longtime fans looking for the technical details and other goodies of this kind I don't think there is much in here for you. As an episode guide it's an inventive way to introduce the show to new fans. Tech book, it is not.

This review is from: Doctor Who: Starships And Spacestations (Paperback)
This is a another great book for Doctor Who reference material series with this one focussing on Spaceships and Space Stations. It spans the length of the entire series from the begining to the most recent David Tennant series.Filled with colorful charts, images and diagrams as well as pictures of scenes and behind-the-scenes - this takes you on a journey of the various shapes, styles and intergalactic cultures that exist in the Doctor Who universe. Soem of which the Doctor has changed directly, influenced its future or those he has even destoyed!
I personally will use this a guide when I am the DM for the new Doctor Who Role Playing Game. Not a very big book - which would be my only minus, but what it has it packs in tightly. Of course there always could be more - but I think they were trying to wet our appetites. Hopefully other volumes will follow!
A must for every Doctor Who fan - Lorenzo M. (4-10)

Great adition to the BBC series of ilustraded books who with beautiful pictures , gives information about the series. It s cover the new series, but also expands to the classic series as well. A must for Doctor Who fans who have the previous books and a good adition for no fans who want to know more about the world of this fantastic UK SCI FI series!
