BBC Books is pleased to announce that three new Doctor Who novels will be published this year, featuring Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor. Each book is an original, stand-alone adventure and will be published simultaneously in hardback and audiobook.
Caged by Una McCormack – Are aliens ever abducted by aliens? And if they were, would anyone believe their story? When the Doctor and Ruby arrive on Cavia, they meet a gentle local who is certain that she has been taken for study by creatures from the stars. The Doctor is concerned to find mysterious meteors appearing in the sky, while strange robotic creatures crowd the forests, watching everything and waiting for…what? Who is interested in Cavia, and why? What is the sinister truth of the abductions? The Doctor and Ruby must discover the secrets of this mysterious world – and those who would seek to destroy it…
Una McCormack is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. She has written many Doctor Who articles, scripts and novels, including The King’s Dragon, The Way Through the Woods, Royal Blood, Molten Heart and Time Lord Victorious: All Flesh is Grass, all from BBC Books.

June 26th, 2024 - 6:58pmWell I enjoyed reading ‘Ruby Red’ & Amazon have just sent out ‘Caged’ to me. I’ve given up on Doctor Who Merch & will just be buying the books. Basically after reaching old age & ill health, my Doctor Who Merch collection of the last 50 years is now being sold off to supplement my pension. Sad I know, but I need the space & others can enjoy it now.

June 26th, 2024 - 9:05pmI’ve decided something similar. Not getting any books now except the target range and the dr who magazine graphic novels, I am still getting the erimem books and the cushing ones. The only other who merchandise I’m getting is the DVDs. I’ve not ordered any of the original fiction or factual books for this year.

June 26th, 2024 - 9:38pmI’m the same. Im only 20 and have decades ahead of me of collecting doctor who merch, but I find I’m cutting down on a lot. Only new blurays and books really interest me at the moment

June 27th, 2024 - 12:02amI’ve decided to get rid of a chunk of my collection too, as I don’t want unused stuff in cupboards – if I’m never going to look, it should go, and that means all printed fiction. I’m figuring out where best to sell the more expensive stuff if I don’t do ebay – I really don’t want to be dealing with the problem buyers, and I feel Who might attract them… The last New Adventures books and a Troughton annual come to mind, although I know the prices peaked a few years back.

June 27th, 2024 - 12:53amI’ve been getting the books since 1977 but that means I started with the target books so I’m happy to continue with them. I worked out the other day that not ordering the 2024/25 (up to March 25) original fiction and factual books is saving me just under £250. It’s a shame but it has to be done.

June 27th, 2024 - 9:52am@Rex F, there are a few Facebook groups for the different book ranges. Might be worth checking those out. I’ve bought and sold a few Targets through one of the groups, and never had any problems.

June 27th, 2024 - 12:20pmThanks, Rory. I don’t do social media, so I keep forgetting that people buy and sell on there. Do you think it would be a problem if I was a new account owner? I guess people would feel safe with paypal though, as they’re very much weighted in buyer favour.

June 27th, 2024 - 2:08pm@Rex F, Nah. In my experience they don’t mind how long you’ve been on, so long as there are pictures to judge the quality of the books.
One thing that really helps is to have an authentication picture. So, take a pic of all of the books you’re selling, with a post-it at the bottom giving your screen name and the date of the photo. Then people are confident that you have those books and are legit.

June 28th, 2024 - 11:02amThanks for that, that’s really useful info. I can make that one of my summer projects.

April 30th, 2024 - 10:41amI’m delighted these are back, and I wish Jodie had had more of them. But £15 each?? It’s prohibitively expensive when you can’t go into a bookshop and think I’ll get all 3. £45 later. I don’t think so.
Bookcollector
April 30th, 2024 - 12:51pmI’ve decided, reluctantly, against them. Rather just get the target books now.
Fred
May 4th, 2024 - 8:20pmDunno, I’ve always found the Targets overrated. They tend to distill stories down far too much for my liking. The novelisations should feel longer, not shorter IMO. It doesn’t help that I think they choose poor ones to do, except for when they’re concurrent releases like the 60th anniversary trio.

May 5th, 2024 - 3:17pmComplete opposite for me now. I find the original fiction either hard work or just a little too childish now. Love the targets though.
