Doctor Who: Firefall : 15th Doctor Audio Original (Unabridged edition)

Michelle Asante reads an exciting new adventure for the Doctor and Belinda. Floating high above 19th Century Earth, the Doctor and Belinda enjoy the legendary Leonids meteor shower of 1833, when the skies teemed with shooting stars. One meteor is bigger and brighter than the others and shows no sign of breaking up in the planetary atmosphere.

The travellers follow it to the village of Drummondville and begin the hunt for a fallen star. There’s a strained atmosphere in the sleepy town, where two buildings mysteriously caught fire overnight.

Belinda meets young Mary Moss, who’s harbouring something extraordinary – something that must be kept safe from the other villagers. What strange entity has landed, and how might it affect all life on Earth?

The Doctor and Belinda try to broker peace between Leo and its human hosts, before things get out of control…Michelle Asante reads Beth Axford’s sensitive tale of outsiders in search of a place to call home.
