Publisher's Synopsis
In 1989 'Doctor Who' on television came to an end. There were to be no more travels in space and time. But the moment had been prepared for, and Virgin Publishing, then the licence-holders for BBC-authorised fiction, stepped into the breach. This is the story of Virgin Publishing's 'New Adventures' range of 'Doctor Who' novels. Picking up where the television series stopped, and presenting the new and further adventures of the seventh Doctor and his companion Ace, the books crossed space and time, introducing new companions like archaeologist Bernice Summerfield, and reuniting the Doctor with many old adversaries like the Ice Warriors and the Cymbermen. Noted researcher and historian David J. Howe chronicles the origins of the books, speaking to all the major players in their development.
