I know this is usually PP's gig, but I saw this and thought I would add it. Not much is known at the moment though other than it's written by J.T. Colgan and is 320 pages long. It's due for release on 5 July 2012

I read about this on the blog this morning (more info there about plot) and I think it would be a good read. The Vikings fascinate me so it immediately piqued my interest. Let's just hope it's released over here.

Here is a bit of a synopsis for it, for those who havent seen it on the news page.
The novel will feature the 11th Doctor, as played by Matt Smith, as its hero, in a story set in Viking times. The location is the northern shore of an island off the coast of Scotland, where the islanders live in fear of a Viking attack. Then The Burning comes, consuming everything in its path.

The last couple have been really good, so I am looking forward to this. I wonder if there will be any nods to The Time Meddler?

I'll probably have to get my gran to send it over from the UK. She had to do that with The Silent Stars Go By as well.

A full synopsis has been released.
On a windswept Northern shore, at the very tip of what will one day become Scotland, the islanders believe the worst they have to fear is a Viking attack. Then the burning comes. They cannot run from it. Water will not stop it. It consumes everything in its path - yet the burned still speak.
The Doctor is just looking for a game on the famous Lewis chess set. Instead he encounters a people under attack from a power they cannot possibly understand. They have no weapons, no strategy and no protection against a fire sent to engulf them all.
Add in some marauding Vikings with very bad timing, a kidnapped princess with a secret of her own and a TARDIS that seems to have developed an inexplicable fear of water, and they all have a battle on their hands. The islanders must take on a ruthless alien force in a world without technology; without communications; without tea that isn't made out of bark. Still at least they have the Doctor on their side... Don't they?
