"A thrilling, all-new adventure featuring the Doctor as played by Matt Smith in the spectacular hit series from BBC Television. 'They like the Shadows. You know them as Plague Warriors...' When the Doctor arrives in the 19th-century village of Klimtenburg, he discovers the residents suffering from some kind of plague - a 'wasting disease'. The victims face a horrible death - but what's worse, the dead seem to be leaving their graves. The Plague Warriors have returned... The Doctor is confident he knows what's really happening; he understands where the dead go, and he's sure the Plague Warriors are just a myth. But as some of the Doctor's oldest and most terrible enemies start to awaken he realises that maybe - just maybe - he's misjudged the situation"--

Summary: Ho-hum, completely harmless, Eleventh Doctor sans companion story.
Pluses- Author captured the Doctor's personality precisely. Would love to see an episode where the Doctor travels with a child/ children as he does in this one. (I know, I know, there is young Amelia Pond, but he never took her anywhere).
Negatives-Weak plot (weaker than some of the TV episodes of series 7.2 if that's possible...), all characters except the Doctor shallow, needs more showing and less explaining
