Out Now: Alex Kingston pens a New Doctor Who book featuring River Song
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Kingston has written a new Doctor Who book featuring her
character, River Song - and it's very unusual because it also stars
you!
Stormcage is described as an "immersive, multi-strand adventure",
which sounds similar to those beloved "Choose Your Own Adventure"
books where you follow your own trail, taking instructions to turn to
various pages based on the decisions you make. I did something
similar (ish) in my book, 100 Objects of Doctor Who actually, and it's
both very hard to do and great fun!
Here's the blurb for Stormcage:
Alex Kingston has always played River Song. Now, in this
immersive, multi-strand adventure she invites YOU to become
the beloved.
Professor River Song, imprisoned in the Stormcage
Containment Facility, welcomes the excitement of aliens
storming her prison. They're here to spring a creature
wanted for terrible crimes. Their assault rips through
reality to create the ultimate escape route: a Fate Nexus.
A gateway to multiple exit points in time, space and beyond.
In this book, YOU are River, tasked with stopping the
criminals and saving reality. Only YOU can choose the path
through these pages. You'll steer River through past,
present, and future on all kinds of audacious adventures.
You'll meet old enemies, familiar friends, and, of course,
the Doctor. Will you hunt down a happy ending or find
disaster and death? The chances are yours to take!
Alex first appeared as River, opposite David Tennant's Tenth Doctor, in
Silence in the Library/ Forest of the Dead, before becoming a staple of
the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) era, and having a seemingly final
meeting with the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) in The Husbands of River
Song - that last one being the last time we saw her, not the last time
she saw the Doctor...
And Stormcage, of course, is the prison she was confined in after
supposedly killing the Doctor.
Yep, it's complicated. A "Choose Your Own Adventure" style tome really
fits River!
Stormcage is out now, with an RRP of u25.

So they're still making those things are they?
Not read one since the 80s featuring Peter Davison.
Don't they make video games that do that these days?
Has Davies trodden then entire franchise into the ground so they can't >afford to hire artists and games developers?

In fairness, after reading the description it doesn't sound a
very complex storyline... so I could believe she did write it
herself.
Most writing nowadays is simplistic, you wouldn't need to be
Shakespeare to come up with a lot of the plots in books these
days... especially ones aimed at a younger audience.

Maybe, but this is a "choose-your-own-adventure" which are a
bit more complicated to write properly than a regular linear
novel. She may have had the basis of the overall story, with
the branching "adventure" style being written by someone else.

Plus, these days you only have to feed your ideas into Sudowrite
(or Chat-GPT, etc.) and it'll turn out the finished story.
