He has no choice but to travel back in time and discover how he became a hero.
And then he finds out. He did it by sacrificing his life.

Doctor Who: Fear of the Dark: 50th Anniversary Edition

On a moon of the ruined planet Akoshemon, an age-old terror is about to be reborn.

Doctor Who: Remembrance of the Daleks: 50th Anniversary Edition
by Ben Aaronovitch
With unfinished business to attend to, the Seventh Doctor returns to where it all began: Coal Hill School in London in 1963.
Last time he was here, the Doctor left something behind – a powerful Time Lord artefact that could unlock the secrets of time travel.
Can the Doctor retrieve it before two rival factions of Daleks track it down? And even if he can, how will the Doctor prevent the whole of London becoming a war zone as the Daleks meet in explosive confrontation?
An adventure featuring the Seventh Doctor as played by Sylvester McCoy and his companion Ace
Doctor Who: Earthworld: 50th Anniversary Edition
by Jacqueline Rayner
Anji has just had the worst week of her life. She should be back at her desk, not travelling through time and space in a police box.
The Eighth Doctor is supposed to be taking her home, so why are there dinosaurs outside? The Doctor doesn’t seem to know either, or else he surely would have mentioned the homicidal princesses, teen terrorists and mad robots?
One thing is certain: Anji is never going to complain about Monday mornings in the office again.
An adventure featuring the Eighth Doctor as played by Paul McGann and his companions Fitz and Anji
Doctor Who: Only Human: 50th Anniversary Edition
by Gareth Roberts
Reports of a time disturbance lead the Ninth Doctor to modern-day London, where he discovers a Neanderthal Man, twenty-eight thousand years after his race became extinct.
A trip back to the dawn of humanity only deepens the mystery: who are these strange humans from the far future now living in the distant past?
The Doctor must learn the truth about the Osterberg experiment before history is changed forever.
An adventure featuring the Ninth Doctor as played by Christopher Eccleston and his companion Rose
Doctor Who: Beautiful Chaos: 50th Anniversary Edition
by Gary Russell
Wilfred Mott is very happy: his granddaughter, Donna, is back home, catching up with family and gossiping about her journeys, and he has just discovered a new star and had it named after him.
He takes the Tenth Doctor with him to the naming ceremony. But the Doctor soon discovers something else new, and worryingly bright, in the heavens – something that is heading for Earth.
It’s an ancient force from the Dark Times. And it is very, very angry…
An adventure featuring the Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant and his companion Donna
Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By: 50th Anniversary Edition
by Dan Abnett
The winter festival is approaching for the hardy colony of Morphans, but no one is in the mood to celebrate.
They’re trying to build a new life on a cold new world, but each year gets harder and harder. It’s almost as if some dark force is working against them.
Then three mysterious travelers arrive out of the midwinter night, one of them claiming to be a doctor. Are they bringing the gift of salvation or doom? And what else might be lurking out there, about to wake up?
An adventure featuring the Eleventh Doctor as played by Matt Smith and his companions Amy and Rory

Posted by: Mjwho March 9th, 2013
Fear of the dark sounds amazing
Anyone who has read it
What do you think about it ?
Good or bad
Posted by: the man from outer space March 28th, 2013
its amazing you should read it soon
Posted by: matparks08 March 6th, 2013
Got the full set of these today – there’s nothing here I hadn’t read before but it’s good to see some of the books reissued for a new audience – remember, in the 1990s these are all we had to keep us going with ‘new who’.
Posted by: txfilly January 26th, 2013
Where can I buy them? Online or bookstore? Being in the US makes it hard to buy these.
Posted by: Anonymous December 4th, 2012
Fear of the Dark’s original cover is WAY better.
You can never hope to make a better one than that.
The only ones I would get are the new Earthworld, Only Human and the Silent Stars go by.
The others are just sillier/inferior to the original print.
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor December 4th, 2012
Is only Human Good ?
Posted by: matparks08 March 6th, 2013
Only Human is the campest book i’ve ever read – many references to Captain Jack wearing pvc trousers – yes, really!
Posted by: DannyGeezer November 30th, 2012
How many pages would there be in an book?????
Posted by: Blackthunder November 30th, 2012
I already have Dreams of Empire, Festival of Death and Beautiful Chaos :/
Hmmm, hard decision…
I want this set, but i don’t want to buy same books again
Posted by: AlphaOmega November 27th, 2012
Gonna get as many as I can – i’m always looking for the old Past Doctor Adventures
Posted by: Libertine November 27th, 2012
It’s annoying to think that of all the superb original novels to feature the Seventh Doctor, they plump for a novelisation. A GOOD novelisation, sure, but when all other Doctors feature in original novels, it seems a bit of an insult.
I’d have chosen something from the NAs instead. First Frontier, Iceberg, Love and War?
Love the covers though. The 9th, 10th and 11th Doctors all seem a little plain (they’re just overused promo pics, the first 8 Doctors have superb retro covers. I’d like to see them as posters.
Posted by: Skaro February 25th, 2013
McCoy had the best who books in my opinion
Posted by: tardis123456 June 2nd, 2013
hey my last name is mcCoy too! thats awesome!
Posted by: Liason Ice November 27th, 2012
They all look awesome, I’m going to try and get the whole set.
I’ve already read Only Human and Beautiful Chaos but I don’t mind rereading them
Posted by: Chris November 26th, 2012
I’m a bit disappointed about Remembrance of the Daleks. All but 7 get original novels, but he just gets a adaptation? Could have been the perfect time to re-release something rare like Lungbarrow or So Vile A Sin.
Posted by: SamBentleyUK November 26th, 2012
I already have, and adore, ‘The Silent Stars Go By’ but the rest I have not read.
Really hope they will sell them all together somewhere as, even though I already have one of them, they all not only look cool, it’s a wonderful peice of 50th merchandise!
Posted by: Doctor Who Crazy Ross November 26th, 2012
I like 1,3,6,7,8,9,10 and 11
Posted by: Mjwho March 11th, 2013
Why not fear of the dark I’m reading that at the moment its amazing one the scariest doctor who story’s I’ve ever read plus the doctor gets pushed to far and you don’t know what the monster is its brilliant
All we know is that it’s the darkness
The rest are ok
Trust me its great
Posted by: Chris November 26th, 2012
Im going to get Remembrance and Festival of death
Posted by: Justininferno November 26th, 2012
they have all been released before! And the new covers are … questionable. Not for me.
Posted by: Doctor Who Crazy Ross November 26th, 2012
Is it just me that thinks that the Dalek looks a bit ‘Remembrance of the Daleks action figure set’-ish?
Posted by: Skaro February 25th, 2013
Yeah I’d prefer emperor dalek
Posted by: Thevelvetymole November 26th, 2012
Fantastic covers!!!
Posted by: The Casterline November 26th, 2012
got all of these when they were 1st released.
Posted by: Esterath November 26th, 2012
Covers look terrible, the originals were much better.
Posted by: Anonymous November 26th, 2012
The 2nd doctor one is badly done. I mean, a photo of Troughton hovering above a tower of some sort.
Posted by: Esterath November 26th, 2012
The Third Doctor one is weird and fake looking.
Posted by: Chris November 26th, 2012
I like the 5th to 7th
Posted by: Mr Evil Fez November 26th, 2012
I agree that the 2nd Doctor cover is bad. But the 3rd Doctor is alright.
Posted by: Skaro February 25th, 2013
7 doc has best cover
Posted by: DoctorWhoFan101 November 26th, 2012
If you look at the top of the spine of them, you can see pictures of each Doctor, although, Some of them I think may be Doctor Who Standees
Posted by: The TARDIS November 26th, 2012
It would have been nice to see some Virgin New or Missing Adventures… But I like the look of the books, and the idea of introducing “New Who” fans (if such a thing exists) to the classic series, but… Couldn’t they have come up with new stories rather than just re-prints that won’t match any other range? And for a completist who owns all of the originals (with much better covers) it seems a bit… cheap. Please, Beeb… New fiction with old Doctors!
Posted by: Anonymous November 26th, 2012
I have only heard of the 7th,9th,10th and 11th doctor books. There are some Virgin Books that I know of that I would of prefered to be re-released.
Shadow of Weng-Chiang and Shakedown both come to mind
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor December 4th, 2012
True, but there are some that are so good I would rather they never got reprinted.
Hope they just reprint the ones with bad covers.
Posted by: Anonymous November 26th, 2012
I like the sound of Beautiful Chaos also that Only Human One is really good one I’ve read it before really good
Posted by: Alex The Geek November 26th, 2012
You HAVE to read Beautiful Chaos it is one of the best books I’ve ever read Doctor Who or Non Doctor Who!
Posted by: McGann is the Doctor December 4th, 2012
I read it and didn’t like it.
Just how many books HAVE you read ?
Posted by: Anonymous December 4th, 2012
I really don’t know I’ve read lots. I really like reading comic strips
Posted by: oscarwho November 26th, 2012
how much are theese and when will they come out
Posted by: booboo November 26th, 2012
£7.99 due March
Posted by: Skaro February 25th, 2013
To be released on march 7 A.K.A. World book day
Posted by: toptimelord November 26th, 2012
Really cool covers! Makes 2013 even more exciting!
Posted by: tardis123456 June 2nd, 2013
i know right!
Posted by: The Monitor November 26th, 2012
Fabulous looking editions.
Nice feature too, Booboo.
Posted by: CG November 26th, 2012
Ahhhh, this now looks fantastic!!!!
Posted by: Doctor Who TweetView November 17th, 2012
Great to see some of the BBC novels being reprinted (& Remembrance) although about half of them do seem rather odd choices. Hopefully we’ll be seeing some more reprinted in the coming years.
Oh and the new covers are really nice too.
Posted by: TheWhomobile November 17th, 2012
Very pleased about Remembrance but I haven’t really heard of the others I must confess. Definitely be buying Remembrance though
Posted by: Esterath November 26th, 2012
They’re Virgin novels from the 90s.
Posted by: Blake November 16th, 2012
Are these books being released as a set or individually?
Posted by: CG November 26th, 2012
Have seen them on pre-order individually.
Posted by: Anonymous November 26th, 2012
Preorder!!! Where!!!
(Excuse the multiple exclamation marks)
Posted by: Esterath November 14th, 2012
I’ll get them.
Posted by: CG November 26th, 2012
I haven’t got any of these so will prob get all eventually.
Posted by: gary November 14th, 2012
OMG I’ve had Earthworld for years but never read it lol
Posted by: The TARDIS November 14th, 2012
Will they be in hardback or paperback?
Posted by: gary November 14th, 2012
Probs paperback but I could easily be wrong
Posted by: oscarwho November 14th, 2012
where are they out
Posted by: matparks08 November 14th, 2012
Read a few of these – Remembrance seems odd amongst the titles as it’s a Target book rather than a new or missing adventure. Fear of the Dark (5th Doc) and Ten Little Aliens (1st Doc) are the best ones from memory!
Posted by: Mr Zarbi November 14th, 2012
Gonna get remembrance
Posted by: cyber robert November 17th, 2012
ME TOO!!!
Posted by: doctorwhoone November 14th, 2012
Ive got Beautiful Chaos by Gary Russell.
Don’t have Remembrance of the Daleks by Ben Aaranovitch so that would be nice.
Posted by: the man from outer space March 3rd, 2013
me too
Posted by: Mr Evil Fez November 14th, 2012
Wow! Don’t think I have any of those! What’s the price?
Posted by: Anonymous November 14th, 2012
£6.99
Posted by: Mr Evil Fez November 15th, 2012
Thanks!
Posted by: Chris November 13th, 2012
When will it be released?
Posted by: booboo November 13th, 2012
