The Resurrection Casket is a BBC Books original novel written by Justin Richards and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

On a shadowy planet called Starfall, where no modern technology works, the Doctor and Rose become involved in a quest for a lost treasure that belonged to Hamlek Glint — the Resurrection Casket, supposedly the key to eternal life.

Jimm's uncle arrives and invites the Doctor and Rose to come visit and hear about Hamlek Glint (the pirate).

The Doctor and Rose return to the docks to see about getting passage off planet for themselves and the TARDIS, but have no luck.

It is a man they had seen at the pub, who has a small bit of folded paper with a smudge of ink that looks vaguely like a figure.

McCavity shows him many of them, then sees the Doctor out, giving him a business card with an invitation to make an appointment later.

Rose locates Edd and Bonny, and learns that they recently sold McCavity some fake Glint artifacts, even though they'd had genuine stuff ten years ago.

The Resurrection Casket is supposed to be his greatest find, able to heal hurts, and bring the dead back to life.

The Doctor starts digging in his pockets for paper and finds a folded slip that shows the Black Shadow when unfolded.

They all talk after Kevin leaves, and decide that he is forced to do what someone wishes because that person knows how to use an object that belonged to Glint.

Rose and the Doctor stop at the pub, and Silver Sally says she can find them a robot crew, and she wants to come along.

After sailing for three days, the Doctor gets impatient waiting for the TARDIS to open, and fixes the ship's engines to hurry things along.

The Doctor creates a diversion quickly, and they let Sally and the other robots come in with Jimm.

The Doctor's diversion starts to work, and he makes up a story about what it is, saying that he'll fix it, just put everyone else into the escape pod, with the clamps locked.

It is empty, except for a large polished black casket the size and shape of a coffin with pipes and wires laid into the lid.

They use the snooker table to block the door, and then pile other items on top, including the Resurrection Casket and McCavity's chest.

McCavity insists that it can bring people back from the dead, and as they argue, the door knocks his chest to the floor, where it bursts open.

The Doctor has each of them sealed into an engineering locker, and Kevin takes them outside the ship to the secondary control room.

The Doctor directs everyone to the forward escape pod, and the systems on the pirate ship start to explode.

As it comes apart, McCavity again demands that the Resurrection Casket be opened, and when the Doctor refuses, sets Kevin on him again.

The Doctor explains that Uncle Bobb was Robbie the cabin boy, Jimm is Hamlek Glint, and the model of the Lost Treasure is actually the real thing.

Uncle Bobb finds Jimm before he gets back to Starfall, and the Doctor and Rose leave in the TARDIS before the zeg can cause problems for them again.
