To be strictly accurate, this isn't a book, it's an app that contains a story but because it features an original Doctor Who story I've included it in this section.
I've always been a huge Cybermen fan, to me, they've always been far more terrifying than the Daleks because they chose to sacrifice their humanity whereas the Kaleds had theirs taken away by the psychopathic Davros.
The 'Monster File' part of the app consists of many Cybermen clips, including their first story, The Tenth Planet. The Matt Smith story, Nightmare In Silver looked awesome on my Kindle Fire.
The information provided is disappointing, a collection of facts that we've already learnt over the course of the show's history. To be fair, kids discovering the show today may not be aware that Mondas is the original home planet of the Cybermen.
It does contain a brief biog of Gerry Davis and Kit Pedler, the creators of the Cybermen as well as pages showing the evolution of the Cybermen, their technology and in which stories they appeared.
The real entertainment comes from the app's original story, Cybermen:Status Update, written by Joseph Lidster and illustrated by Neil Roberts. This app is produced by BBC Worldwide and *SPOILER ALERT!* the story does not feature the Doctor or any of his companions.
The story is set in Capital City, on the Earth Colony planet Tiestus, home of the story's hero, thirteen year old Jacob Sowersby.
Jacob is the proud owner of the latest version of BOB,an electronic diary that can update entries directly to the brain just from the user speaking, it's like Facebook and other social media apps taken to the Nth degree.
