Despite its limited length, these elements form a complex plot. The villains of the story have their own agendas and their motivations with secrets that are revealed gradually in the course of the novel. In this situation, the Doctor and Rose face a series of problems and possible threats, including a monster. A legend about a machine that can bring people back to life becomes more and more central to the novel. In this case the science fiction element is the existence of sailing ships traveling in space.ĭuring their attempts to leave the planet, the Doctor and Rose end up involved in the search for a legendary treasure but that’s just the beginning. When the Doctor and Rose are forced to land on Starfall after the Tardis systems are affected by the anomaly that exists in that area, they look for other means to leave the planet.
In particular, the author uses steampunk elements given that on Starfall only steam engines works and they are developed to the point that there are cyborgs with mechanical parts and even very sophisticated robots. Justin Richards draws heavily on the novel “Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson revisiting the story in a sci-fi version setting it on the planet Starfall. They’re targeted to a wide audience by being linear enough to be appreciated even by very young readers but sophisticated enough to interest more mature readers. “The Resurrection Casket” is part of a series of novels connected to the new “Doctor Who” series. There they get involved in the agenda of Drel McCavity, who owns the planet and is a collector of local artifacts.
The Doctor and Rose discover a world whose inhabitants are in search of a legendary treasure and where steam technology was developed so much as to create robots with personality. The two travelers find themselves on the planet Starfall, where no modern technology works and must wait until the Tardis fixes its own systems to be able to leave. The Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler are traveling in the Tardis when they’re forced to land by a strange anomaly that knocks out the Tardis systems. The novel “The Resurrection Casket” by Justin Richards was published for the first time in 2006. The Resurrection Casket by Justin Richards
