DOCTOR WHO THE MISSING ADVENTURES MANAGRA STEPHEN MARLEY MANAGRA AN ORIGINAL NOVEL FEATURING THE FOURTH DOCTOR AND SARAH JANE SMITH “EUROPA IS INFESTED BY GHOSTS, VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, GHOULS AND OTHER GROTESQUES SPAWNED FROM OLD EUROPEAN FOLKLORE. I THINK WE'RE IN A SPOT OF BOTHER, SARAN JANE.” Europa, designed by lunatics a thousand years in the future, is a resurrected Europe that lives in an imaginary past. In Europa, historical figures live again: Lord Byron combats Torquemada's Inquisition, Mary Shelley is writing her sequel to Frankenstein, and Cardinal Richelieu schemes to become Pope Supreme while Aleister Crowley and Faust vie for the post of Official Antichrist. When the Doctor and Sarah Jane arrive, they are instantly accused of murdering the Pope. Aided only by a young vampire hunter and a revenant Byron, they must confront the sinister Theatre of Transmogrification in their quest to prove their innocence. This adventure takes place between the television stories PLANET OF EVIL and PYRAMIDS OF MARS. STEPHEN MARLEY is a well-established writer of dark fantasy. He is the author of SPIRIT MIRROR, MORTAL MASK, SHADOW SISTERS, JUDGE DREDD - DREDDLOCKED and JUDGE DREDD - DREAD DOMINION. Cover design: Slatter-Anderson Cover painting: Paul Campbell

We set our own Chris Hawton to chat all things SFF with Michael Stevens of BBC Audiobooks as part of our coverage of @thespeakies.bsky.social. Naturally, it became something of a Doctor Who fest - what with a DW book shortlisted in the SFF audiobook category, a DW writer winning that category...

🧵⬇️
A graphic features the text: The BFS Interviews... Michael Stevens, Senior Content Producer at BBC Audiobooks & Demon Records, speaks with Chris Hawton. The two men are pictured in the centre: Chris, for the BFS, is photographed alongside K9; he is a white man with long blonde hair and is wearing a multicoloured jumper. Michael, for the BBC, is pictured outside with a model of the TARDIS in the bottom coroner. He is a white man with short-cropped greying hair and is wearing a blue and white close-checked shirt.

Got a copy of Illegal Alien to read for #DoctorWho Book Club @andwbcpodcast.bsky.social, been wanting to get into more of the PDAs and I'm a big fan of the Cybermen (when handled well) so figured this was a good opportunity.

Happy December everyone! We’re reading the 7th Doctor & Ace novel “Illegal Alien,” by Mike Tucker & Robert Perry.

First published in 1997 & later reprinted in 2014 as part of The Monsters Collection, it is also available as an audiobook read by Sophie Aldred & Nick Briggs.

Happy reading! 💙💙➕📚
DOCTOR WHO ILLEGAL ALIEN MIKE TUCKER & ROBERT PERRY Acknowledgements Thanks to: Marc Platt John Freeman Gary Russell Rebecca Levene and Peter Darvill-Evans Gary Gillatt Steve Cole Nuala Buffini Sophie Aldred and Sylvester McCoy John Nathan-Turner The cast and crew of 'the McCoy era' Britain is at war. Night after night the Luftwaffe are bombing London. A serial killer dubbed the Limehouse Lurker is stalking the rubble-strewn streets. But a deadlier threat falls from the sky in the shape of a sinister silver sphere... Cody McBride, ex-pat American private eye, sees the sphere crash-land and split open - and glimpses something emerging from within. But the military dismiss his account of events - the sphere is simply a new German secret weapon that has malfunctioned in some way. What else could it be? Arriving amid the chaos, the Doctor and Ace are the only people to believe McBride. The sphere bears all the hallmarks of sophisticated alien technology - and whatever was inside it is now loose in London. Before long the Doctor and his friends have embarked on a trail that brings them face to face with hidden Nazi operatives - and some very old enemies... Featuring the Seventh Doctor and Ace - plus the Cybermen - this adventure takes place after SURVIVAL. DOCTOR WHO ILLEGAL ALIEN MIKE TUCKER & ROBERT PERRY

I just finished reading the new book version of classic Doctor Who audio story The Chimes of Midnight. The audio is still much better but I thought the book largely worked & the extra scenes helped to develop some of the characters. There were a few dialogue changes that bothered me. #DoctorWho
