The Last Dodo is a BBC Books original novel written by Jacqueline Rayner and based on the long running science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones. It was published on 19 April 2007, after the television debut of companion Martha Jones, alongside Sting of the Zygons, and Wooden Heart. Synopsis The Doctor and Martha Jones go searching for the last dodo. They end up in a museum featuring the last examples of extinct species, all in suspended animation. Many of the exhibits are going missing. The Doctor himself is in danger because he is the last of his race. Plot Upon being asked where she wants to go next, Martha chooses the zoo, falling back on childhood memories which appears to upset the Doctor who later admits the idea of animals in cages hurts him. Seeing the Doctor using a dodo feather as a bookmark, Martha asks to see a dodo in its natural habitat. The Doctor slots the feather into the TARDIS which ends up taking them to the Earth section of the Museum of the Last Ones (MOTLO) run by the sinister Eve. The Doctor also gives Martha an I-Spyder book which she regularly updates. Eve explains that the entire Universe is monitored and when a species gets down to only one, they are retrieved and placed in suspended animation within the museum. As several specimens have been going missing, the Doctor, Martha and the museum workers investigate, ultimately finding the thief to be a museum worker Frank, trying to make a profit. Frank is detained by Eve, who then also captures the Doctor since he is the Last of the Time Lords, while sending Martha off with another museum worker to retrieve another last one specimen. Upon discovering the Doctor frozen, Martha manages to free him and transport all the frozen animals back to their original destinations, only for the Doctor to reveal that since MOTLO doesn't possess time travel, they will be returned to present day earth. The Doctor and Martha head to Earth where they find the Dodo (which the Doctor dubs Dorothea) in a town, along with a sabre tooth tiger and dinosaurs, but soon discover multiples of the creatures in the town. Another MOTLO worker Tommy arrives to try to help but is injured by a sabre tooth tiger. Transported back to MOTLO, Martha gets help
