Doctor Who Target Collection 2024 Space Babies Paperback
Available to order from www.amazon.co.uk and www.forbiddenplanet.com
The Audio CD is also available to order from www.amazon.co.uk
In space, something can hear you scream. And that something is coming.
On her first adventure in outer space, Ruby learns that the universe is bigger, more colourful, and crazier than she could ever have imagined. She also learns that even the Doctor can feel afraid – and that certain nightmares are all too real…
A new voice to Doctor Who fiction, Alison Rumfitt, presents the Target novelisation of Russell T Davies’ first space adventure for the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday, as played by Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson.

June 12th, 2024 - 5:37pmInteresting choice of author, given her usual style!

June 12th, 2024 - 5:52pmJust looked and yes it may seem strange but there are quite a few authors over the years who have a background in dark horror writing who books. Mark Morris who did the wild blue yonder target is well known as a horror writer. Even more keen on reading this now!

June 12th, 2024 - 10:43amI won’t be buying any of these as I do not collect the Targets but the covers are wonderful. They give strong nostalgic “kids books in the 70s” vibes without just copying Chris Achilleos’ style. They feel like their own thing, which they haven’t before.

June 12th, 2024 - 1:19pmThe target books and the DVDs are pretty much all I’m interested in now. These have been on order since they were first announced!

June 13th, 2024 - 10:06amBookcollector – I do actual think the Target books are terrific. But I sold my collection 20+ years ago and I don’t think I could buy the new ones without that impulse pushing me to hit ebay and get all the old ones too!! Can’t afford the space or the money haha. But I don’t blame anyone for getting them, they are terrific.

June 29th, 2024 - 1:37pmTarget books aren’t available on kindle besides the whole point of collecting them is owning them physically not as a ebook

June 11th, 2024 - 6:56pmLove these new covers. Pleased this one is being done as I think it may work better for me as a book. I haven’t rewatched the series yet as I’m waiting for the DVD but this one is one I wasn’t sure of. I think they babies mouths freaked me out! Looking forward to these books.

May 8th, 2024 - 2:31pmlooks like these might be Space Babies, 73 Yards and Rogue

May 29th, 2024 - 7:03amNot sure if I like the pick, but Space Babies makes sense as it is kinda direct sequel to Church. I also expected them to do the finale as they generally liked doing the “big” episodes, but now I am thinking they probably didn’t want any leaks, so the plot of the finale is very much guarded and the novelisation of that story will come a bit later.

May 3rd, 2024 - 1:32pmOh, is this the “Ruby Red” paperback?

May 3rd, 2024 - 1:42pmNot if the initials of the author on Amazon, ‘AR’, are meaningful. Maybe they aren’t, though!

May 3rd, 2024 - 1:44pmsuspect DWN 1-3 are new target novels to go with Church
Bookcollector
May 3rd, 2024 - 1:55pmThese may be new target books linked to season one. Church is the target paperback so I think these are as well. Was hoping for a target version Fraser Hines evil book as well but they might announce more or more older stories (ie before the new series) books separately to these.

May 3rd, 2024 - 2:59pmHi all.
If these were new series Targets, it would seem odd then for Ruby Road to be an outlier in Jan 2025. While 3 of series 1 get the Target Branding before His opener.
I’m hoping if continuing the new who vibe its about time we had some more 9th Dr ,11th Dr and 13th Dr stories out there. An interesting one would be Power of the Doctor . But any 9th Dr story would be welcome .
Yes I expect Evil of the Daleks Target to be one as a new/Classic
Maybe it’s The new An Unearthly Child by Nigel Robinson

May 3rd, 2024 - 3:02pmAmazon haven’t altered the old date yet, on the official penguin site its been changed to 8/8/24 same as DWN 1-3
Robert Sienicki
May 3rd, 2024 - 4:55pmThese are definitely new Target books, and the second one is “Rogue” novelisation. Now question if remaining two will also be Ncuti related (just like they released the 60th novels) or will it be something from New Who Doctors.

May 3rd, 2024 - 7:44pmDidn’t Anthony Reed write a new novelisation of The Horns of Nimon that was planned as an audio only version but got cancelled? Saw “AR” and immediately thought of Nimon.
Anon
May 3rd, 2024 - 8:20pmI think you are thinking of nigel Robinson. As far as I can find there is no mention anywhere of an Anthony read version of nimon.

May 3rd, 2024 - 8:22pmSv7 I’m pretty sure all three are going to be season one (14) stories. Fits in with church coming out.
