Made of Steel

Chapter Two
“Field Trip”
‘Steady now,’ said the Doctor. ‘Take it slowly.
It’s a timid creature. It’s probably more frightened
of you than you are of it. Really.’ He grinned.
‘No offence.’
‘None taken. And who’s frightened?’ said
Martha defiantly. ‘I mean, it’s only a flipping
great prehistoric monster the size of a house!’
She nervously held up the bunch of juicy
green palm fronds to the giant creature
towering above her.
Martha Jones was the Doctor’s current
companion. A medical student, she had met
the Doctor when terrifying alien forces had
invaded the hospital where she was training.
When it was all over, she had accepted his
offer of ‘just one trip’. Somehow that one trip
had become the first of many.
Now they were standing outside the TARDIS
at the edge of a clearing in the middle of a
lush prehistoric jungle. The air was hot and
steamy, filled with the cries of strange,
and no doubt savage, creatures.

Mr. White it’s only £1.99, if you like it why not buy it so you can read it even away from your computer?
how do these sales compare to the sales of the series one quick read ‘i am a dalek’? Anyone?
Wow, it’s out already? I figured it wouldn’t be out til the new series had started… I may have to beg my parents for some way to earn a couple quid then XD Or I could just read it in the bookstore and wait til I have the money…
Ayries, it should also be in many libraries by now.
