Doctor Who: Vampire Science

In the days when the Time Lords were young, their war with the vampires cost trillions of lives on countless worlds. Now the Vampires have been sighted again, in San Francisco.

Some want to coexist with humans, using genetic engineering in a macabre experiment to find a new source of blood. But some would rather go out in a blaze of glory – and UNIT’S attempts to contain them could provoke another devastating war.

The Doctor strikes a dangerous bargain, but even he might not be able to keep the city from getting caught in the crossfire. While he finds himself caught in a web of old feuds and high-tech schemes, his new companion Sam finds out just how deadly travelling with the Doctor can be.

The Year Of Intelligent Tigers

‘Doctor!’ said Anji. This couldn’t be happening, he couldn’t just walk out on them! ‘ Look, give them a chance, they’re frightened, they’re only –’ ‘Human?’ He took a deep breath, as though to stop himself from saying anything more. ‘Now, stay!’ The weather is going to hell.

The tigers are coming to town. And the Doctor has taken his violin and vanished. The island world of Hitchemus is home to a colony of musicians and seemingly harmless alien animals.

When the storms and the tigers break loose, the Doctor tries to protect the humans – but the humans don’t want him.

When he ventures into the wilderness in search of the tigers’ secrets, Fitz and Anji find themselves on their own, trying to prevent a war. With both sides eager for blood, and hurricanes on the horizon, the Doctor must decide whether this time he’s on the side of the human race.

Unnatural History

‘They called it the Millennium Effect,’ said the Doctor. ‘But the millennium was only beginning.’ San Francisco has changed since the start of 2000.

The laws of physics keep having acid flashbacks. There are sightings of creatures from outside our dimensions, stranded aliens and surrealist street performers. The city has become a mecca for those who revel in impossible creatures – and those who want to see them pinned down and put away.

Sam’s past is catching up with her – a past she didn’t know she had. The Doctor is in danger of becoming the pi`ece de r´esistance in a twisted collection of creatures.

And beneath the waters of the Bay, something huge is waiting. With time running out, the Doctor must choose which to sacrifice – a city of wonders, or the life of an old and dear friend. This is another in the series of original adventures for the Eighth Doctor.

Trading Futures

‘Welcome to the future.’ The early decades of the twenty-first century.

All the wars have been won. There are no rogue states.

The secret services of the world keep the planet electronically monitored, safe from all threat.

There is no one left for the United States and the Eurozone to fight. Except each other.

A mysterious time traveller offers a better future – he has a time machine, and with it, humanity could reach the next stage of evolution, they could share its secrets and become the new Lords of Time. . . . . . either that, or someone could keep the technology for themselves and use it to fight the ultimate war.

The Gallifrey Chronicles

The Doctor’s home planet of Gallifrey has been destroyed.

The Time Lords are dead, their TARDISes annihilated.

The man responsible has been tracked down and lured to Earth in the year 2005, where there will be no escape.

But Earth has other problems – a mysterious signal is being received, a second moon appears in the sky, and a primordial alien menace waits to be unleashed. . .

The stage is set for the ultimate confrontation – for justice to be done.

The Doctor and his companions Fitz and Trix will meet their destiny.

And this time, the Doctor isn’t going to be able to save everyone.

Father Time

‘I love her,’ the Doctor said. ‘Of course you do, she’s your daughter.’

Earth in the nineteen-eighties is a battleground.

Rival alien factions have travelled from the far future to pursue their vendetta.

With UFOs filling the skies, a giant robot stalking the Derbyshire hills, and alien hunters searching for the mysterious Last One, the Doctor is the only man who can protect the innocents caught in the crossfire.

But old scores are being settled, the fate of a Galactic Empire is at stake, and, against his will, the Doctor is drawn into a decade-long war that will strike at those he holds most dear.

The Doctor has lost his memory, his friends, his past and his TARDIS. All he has now is the love of his daughter. But will even that be taken from him?

Infinity Doctors

“Sing about the past again, and sing that same old song.

Tell me what you know, so I can tell you that you’re wrong.” Gallifrey. The Doctor’s home planet.

For twenty thousand centuries the Callifreyans have been the most powerful race in the cosmos. They have circumnavigated infinity and eternity, harnessed science and conquered death.

They are the Lords of Time, and have used their powers carefully. But now a new force has been unleashed, one that is literally capable of anything. It is enough to give even the Time Lords nightmares.

More than that: it is enough to destroy them. It is one of their own.

Waiting for them at the end of the universe. Featuring the Doctor, this adventure celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of Doctor Who.

Seeing I

He has no idea why Samantha Jones ran away from him.

Sam is homeless on the streets of the colony world of Ha’olam, trying to face what’s just happened between her and the Doctor.

He’s searching for her, and for answers.

While she struggles to survive in a strange city centuries from home, the Doctor comes across evidence of alien involvement in the local mega-corporation, INC – and is soon confined to a prison that becomes a hell of his own making.

Where did INC’s mysterious eye implants really come from? What is the company searching for in the deserts?

What is hiding in the shadows, watching their progress? Faced with these mysteries, separated by half a world, Sam and the Doctor each face a battle – Sam to rebuild her life, the Doctor to stay sane. And if they do find each other again, what will be left of either of them?

Blue Box

California 1981: Peri wants to visit her home, but the Tardis, with its usual precision, has dropped her and the Doctor off on the right continent, but in the wrong place, in the right decade, but the wrong year.

Determined anyway to enjoy the weird fashions of her native time, Peri wants to go clubbing. The Doctor takes her to a seedy looking joint, where aliens and supernaturals congregate. And leaves her there. Stranded and alone, with only cryptic instructions from the missing Doctor to go by, Peri finds herself drawn into the underground world of early phone and computer hacking.

In 1981, the computer network may be relatively primitive, but the hackers are getting more sophisticated by the minute.

And they are about to become a whole lot more so, as one of the hackers has got her hands on the technology of the Eridani, an alien race whose freighters were hijacked by their enemies the Jai. The Doctor struggles to prevent the technology being used on Earth, the more so as he gradually realises the exact nature of the mysterious components from outer space…
