Doctor Who: The World That Froths - Paperback

by Matthew Petchinsky (Author)

In the year 2025, a new beverage floods the Earth-ROOTWAKE(TM), a sleek, rainforest-fermented vitality soda that promises to "awaken your nature." But the Doctor knows better than to trust anything that tastes too perfect. Arriving in New York to investigate a temporal disturbance, he and his companion Ava discover a world smiling too wide, drinking too deeply, and forgetting too much.

Rootwake isn't just a drink. It's a 4.5-billion-year-old organism, and it's not selling a product-it's rewriting identity, memory, and biology through flavor itself. From syrup fog drifting over London to carbonated oceans, the world begins to dissolve into sugar and submission.

As humanity chants slogans in the rain and cities are remade in sweet, sticky worship, the Doctor races to warn Earth before the last free thought is drowned in fizz. But what happens when even he begins to forget who he was?

Some thirsts can't be quenched. And some worlds can't be saved.
