Catherine Tate reads this exclusive thrilling story, in which the Doctor and Donna take on a race of dangerous bloodsucking aliens. When the sky rips open somewhere over Dover, two objects hurtle out of the Vortex and crash-land in the sea. One is the TARDIS, out of control and freefalling - but the other, a mysterious crystalline sphere, is far more sinister. The Doctor and Donna are rescued and taken to a secret command centre in the Dover cliffs. It's May 1940, and Vice-Admiral Ramsey is about to finalise one of the most daring plans of the Second World War: Operation Dynamo. But something else has got inside the War Tunnels, a parasitic Nemonite from the crashed sphere. Its aim is to possess all humans and spawn millions of young. The Doctor and Donna must fight for their lives in order to save both Operation Dynamo and the world at large. "The Nemonite Invasion" features the Doctor and Donna, as played by David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the hit BBC Television series "Doctor Who". Written specially for audio by David Roden, it is read by Catherine Tate.

This story was remarkably similar to another original audiobook that was only released nine months before, Pest Control. Both are about alien creatures who take over the bodies of soldiers on bases as part of a larger plan to infest a world. Of course, there were differences but it's odd to have two such similar stories.

Of the two, this one is better as it gives most of its characters some emotional depth and has the Doctor make a morally difficult but necessary choice which gave the story a feeling of realism and poignancy, although I though the crazy commodore was a bit over the top. Still, an enjoyable if not perfect story.
