About the Author
Simon Guerrier has written countless Doctor Who books, comics, audio plays, and documentaries. As research for one of his Doctor Who stories, he took night classes in astronomy at the Royal Observatory Greenwich—which resulted in an A-plus and the plot for another Doctor Who story. Simon regularly writes for Horrible Histories magazine and the medical journal The Lancet Psychiatry. With his brother Thomas, Simon also makes films and documentaries—most recently The Fundamentalist Queen, about the wife of Oliver Cromwell, broadcast by the BBC in December 2014.
Dr. Marek Kukula is the public astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, the home of time and space. Originally he wanted to be a Time Lord when he grew up but settled on astronomy as the next most exciting thing, going on to study quasars and distant galaxies with the Hubble Space Telescope. Marek regularly appears on BBC science shows such as The Sky at Night and Bang Goes the Theory to explain the latest astronomical discoveries and has also turned up in Doctor Who Confidential, where he showed Karen Gillan how to view Saturn through a telescope.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Easy Read By Jasmine Magerkurth This anthology of stories sprinkled with updated scientific theories was entertaining both for an engineer and a Whovian.An enjoyable read.
8 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Good combination of story and science By CubOfJudahsLion This is an entertaining read that weaves very decent storytelling (spanning several of the Doctor's incarnations) with an overview of related scientific concepts, explained simply and with solid footing on the history of science. The title, so far, seems a bit misleading though -- I expected speculation on the future of theory/technology with potential to fill the bag of the Doctor's many tricks, so I'm taking one star away. Still, an entertaining and reasonably informative read.

Well wonder no more as Simon Guerrier has written such a book! He, along with other noted Doctor Who authors, combine to make an interesting book that brings new Doctor stories along with lay explanations of many scientific concepts touched on in the stories.Many of the stories are nuWho oriented as all four have at least one story, but 2, 4, 5 and 7 are covered along with an illusion to 1 (I say "illusion" because it's left up to you to decide if it really *was* him). The stories are as long as the scientific explanations that follow, and for some, it's a chance to read about Peri, Tegan, Adric and Nyssa once again.The topics covered by the book cover topics related to space and time travel as well as what it means to be human. The topics are discussed in plain language and references are made to classic Who episodes in order to tie the show to reality as it was known then.BOTTOM LINE: A must-read for science geek/Doctor Who fan.
