From the Worlds of Doctor Who SIGNET: Night of the Yssgaroth

Arcbeatle Press are proud to announce SIGNET, a new range of books from the worlds of Doctor Who.
SIGNET follows a privately funded organisation fighting alien incursions and investigating the supernatural.
“Heart is at the core of SIGNET,” explains SIGNET creator and range editor James Hornby. “Most organisations we’ve seen in this world combat threats to humanity with prejudice. But are they always in the right? SIGNET looks out for the little guy, whether that be someone under the threat of invasion, or a stranded alien looking for a home.”
The first book in the series, Night of the Yssgaroth, sees our introduction to the team as they combat an ancient threat, first seen in Doctor Who: The Pit.
“Xana is a fugitive on the run. Desperation takes her to Earth, the galaxy’s fabled sanctuary. But when a primordial entity begins to emerge, nowhere is safe. She crosses paths with SIGNET, a freelance organisation offering refuge to aliens and humans under threat. To survive she must place her trust in SIGNET, but for Xana trust has never come easy. Can she learn to overcome the trauma of her past, or will the Yssgaroth take them all?”
More releases are to follow, featuring works from popular Doctor Who writers such as John Peel.
SIGNET: Night of the Yssgaroth will be available for print and Kindle on 2 November, 2023 in most territories. Preorders for the Kindle edition are now open, with the print version available for sale on the day of release.

October 31st, 2023 - 4:42pmA spin-off from one of the worst Doctor Who books ever written. That’s certainly, um, something.

October 30th, 2023 - 8:03pmIt seems a bold choice to launch a range based on a sliver of a niche range of mostly out of print novels (although I have a full collection and sometimes pine for a return to that era) and I thought The Pit was one of the least entertaining of them all. I must have forgotten SIGNET’s appearance but I remember UNIT, Torchwood and SJA well so I get the gist. I think using “From the Worlds of Doctor Who” is stretched a bit thin on this one – and I possess an Erimem novel!

October 30th, 2023 - 1:53pmI’ve read some of this companies output before and was very underwhelmed. Cyberon was one of the worst books I’ve ever read. Not for me but others may like these.

October 30th, 2023 - 1:02pmI presume it’s the Virgin New Adventures novel from decades back.

(But it’s a low-regarded Virgin New Adventure)
