[edit] Publisher's Summary
The TARDIS lands the Doctor and Martha in the Lake District in 1909, where a small village has been terrorised by a giant, scaly monster. The search is on for the elusive 'Beast of Westmorland', and explorers, naturalists and hunters from across the country are descending on the fells. King Edward VII himself is on his way to join the search, with a knighthood for whoever finds the Beast. But there is a more sinister presence at work in the Lakes than a mere monster on the rampage, and the Doctor is soon embroiled in the plans of an old and terrifying enemy. And as the hunters become the hunted, a desperate battle of wits begins — with the future of the entire world at stake...

- Zygons are David Tennant's favourite monsters.
[edit] Continuity
- Martha mentions that she isn't fond of New York. Most likely because of her and the Doctor's visit in DW: Daleks in Manhattan / Evolution of the Daleks, which places this novel either before or after The Lazarus Experiment
- The Zygons last appeared on screen in DW: Terror of the Zygons and in print in EDA: The Bodysnatchers.
- The Doctor names all of Lord Haleston's horses Arthur, just as he did in DW: The Girl in the Fireplace
[edit] Audio releases
