Doctor Who: The Fires of Pompeii (Target Collection) cover

"My masters will follow the example of Rome... our mighty empire bestraddling the whole of civilization!"

It is AD 79, and the TARDIS lands in Pompeii on the eve of the town's destruction. Mount Vesuvius is ready to erupt and bury its surroundings in molten lava, just as history dictates. Or is it?

The Doctor and Donna find that Pompeii is home to impossible things: circuits made of stone, soothsayers who read minds and fiery giants made of burning rock. From a lair deep in the volcano, these creatures plot the end of humanity - and the Doctor soon finds he has no way to win...

This is so much more than merchandise...these novels are connecting us together even now. All the way across time and space -- Russell T Davies
Target books offered much more than just a window into Doctor Who: they were a formative part of my reading experience -- Alastair Reynolds
Target writers performed quite a invaluable service in 'saving' these stories...so don't think of this book as just another novel. It's a slice of Who history -- Stephen Baxter
It became a ritual, saving pocket money, then deciding which Target book to go for. I devoured them -- Mark Gatiss
