Earth, New York, USA Synopsis Let me tell you a story. Long ago, in the froze Arctic wastes, an alien army landed. Only now, 10,000 years later, it isn't a story. And the army is ready to attack. New York — one of the greatest cities on 21st century Earth... But what's going on in the Museum? And is that really a Woolly Mammoth rampaging down Broadway? An ordinary day becomes a time of terror, as Ice Age creatures come back to life, and the Doctor and Amy meet a new and deadly enemy. The vicious Army of the Vykoid are armed to the teeth and determined to enslave the human race. Even though they're only seven centimetres high. With the Doctor kidnapped, and the Vykoid army swarming across Manhattan and sealing it from the world with a powerful alien forcefield, Amy has just 24 hours to find the Doctor and save the city. If she doesn't, the people of Manhattan will be taken to work in the doomed asteroid mines of the Vykoid home planet. But as time starts to run out, who can she trust? And how far will she have to go to free New York from the Forgotten Army?

It perfectly captures the whimsical fairytale vibe of that era, effortlessly captures the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond's voices, and provides a fun and charming tale of a mammoth in 2010s New York, and its tiny army of alien soldiers. The narrative evokes classic stories like Gulliver's Travels and Invasion of the Body-Snatchers, with a tiny hint of Ratatouille (oddly enough). It's a pleasure to read from start to finish, and never gets dull. Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating1,351 members 3.59 / 5 GoodReads AVG.
