Back Cover Blurb
'Doctor, we're talking about an old man who used to dress up in a skintight white jump suit and fly around New York catching super-villains. Don't you think there's something just a bit unusual about that?'
A killer is stalking the streets of the village of Arandale. The victims are found one each day, drained of blood. And if that seems strange, it's nothing compared to the towns inhabitants.
The Doctor, Ace and Bernice think they're investigating a murder mystery. But its all much more bizarre than that. And much more dangerous.
Someone has interfered with the Doctor's past again, and he's landed in a place he knows he once destroyed. This time there can be no escape.

Notes
- Conundrum was the first Doctor Who novel to be written by Steve Lyons, who would go on to write numerous other books for the various Doctor Who ranges over the coming years.
- Conundrum was a sequel to the 1968 television story The Mind Robber, meaning that a new Master of the Land of Fiction was required. Head Games, a sequel to Conundrum, was published in 1995.
- Conundrum was the penultimate title in the "Alternate Histories" arc. One month later Doctor Who fans would discover exactly who was meddling with history, and, if we're being completely honest, anyone who hadn't guessed the identity of the miscreant in question should hang their head in shame...
- A two-page prelude to Conundrum, written by Steve Lyons, was published in Issue 208 (19/01/94) of Doctor Who Magazine.
Doctor Who: No Future

Back Cover Blurb
'This time, anarchy's real. There are power cuts and Wilson's resignation, a great upheaval of unease. But now there's real fear too. Real panic. And that's not how it's supposed to be.'
Somebody has been toying with the Doctor's past, testing him, threatening him, leading him on a chase that has brought the TARDIS to London in 1976 — where reality has been altered once again.
Black Star terrorists foment riots in the streets. The Queen barely escapes assassination. A fearful tension is rising. Something is going to happen. Something Bad.
Meanwhile, Benny's the lead singer in a punk band, Ace can't talk to her or the Doctor without an argument starting, so she's made murderous plans of her own. The Doctor's alone — he doesn't know who his enemy is, and even the Brigadier has disowned him.
As usual, it's up to the Doctor to protect the world. And he can't even protect himself.

Notes
- No Future was Paul Cornell's third book for the New Adventures series and wrapped-up the "Alternate Universe" arc which had been ongoing since Blood Heat in October 1993. And it's fair to say that the unveiling of the Meddling Monk, from the 1960s stories The Time Meddler and The Daleks' Master Plan, as the devious villain behind the plot was not a major surprise. No Future revealed that his name was Mortimus.
Other returning characters included Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and Mike Yates. - A two-page prelude to No Future, written by Paul Cornell, was published in Issue 209 (16/02/94) of Doctor Who Magazine.

Back Cover Blurb
'So, that's an Ice Warrior. Brings a whole new meaning to the concept of shell suits.'
The Doctor is pursuing a master criminal. The trail leads to Peladon: a desolate world once home to a barbaric, feudal society. Now the Galactic Federation is attempting to bring prosperity and civilization to the planet. But not all Pels support the changes, and when ancient relics are stolen from their Citadel, the representatives of the Federation are blamed. The Doctor suspects the Ice warrior delegation, but before long the Time Lord himself is arrested for the crime — and sentenced to death.
Elsewhere, interplanetary mercenaries are bringing one of the galaxy's most evil artefacts to Peladon, apparently on the Doctor's instruction. Ace is pursuing a dangerous mission on another world and Bernice is getting friendly — perhaps too friendly — with the Ice Warriors she has studied for so long.
The players are making the final moves in a devious and lethal plan — but for once it isn't the Doctor's.

Notes
- Legacy was the first novel from long-term Doctor Who fan Gary Russell.
At the time of its publication he was actually the editor of Marvel's Doctor Who Magazine, and later in the decade became one of the guiding lights behind the successful series of Bernice Summerfield and Doctor Who audio dramas produced by Big Finish Productions.
In 2006 it was announced that he had been employed at BBC Wales as a trainee script editor working on the Doctor Who television series itself.
After Legacy he went on to write a further eight Doctor Who novels, as well as being selected to novelise the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie for BBC Books. - As the back cover blurb makes clear, Legacy takes place on the planet Peladon and features the return of perennial favourites the Ice Warriors — in effect making the book the concluding part of a trilogy which had begun with the 1972 television story The Curse of Peladon and continued in the 1974 sequel The Monster of Peladon.

Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended.
Ace stared at the Doctor. He nodded. 'Yes, Ace. We're in Elsinore. And I don't like it either.'
Five years ago, an archaeological expedition came to Menaxus to explore the ruins of an ancient theatre. All but one of the visitors died horribly, and the planet was abandoned, bathed in lethal radiation.
Now the survivor has returned, determined to uncover the theatre's secrets whatever the cost. Among her archaeological team is a certain Professor Bernice Summerfield.
Soon the deaths begin agin, while the front line of an interstellar war moves ever closer. Desperate for help, Bernice tries to summon her companions. But when the TARDIS lands on the planet, the Doctor finds himself participating in a frighteningly real performance of Shakespeare's greatest tragedy. And he begins to realise that the truth about Menaxus may be far stranger than anyone imagines.

Notes
- Theatre of War was Justin Richards' first novel, and over the next eleven years he would go on to become the most prolific contributor to the various ranges of Doctor Who books.
- Theatre of War marked the first appearance of Irving Braxiatel, the owner of a massive collection of artefacts who would later prove to be a major player in the ongoing series of Bernice Summerfield books.
Like the Hoothi from Paul Cornell's Love and War, he was the product of a single mention in a single television story — in this case from the classic 1979 Fourth Doctor story City of Death, in which the Braxiatel Collection gets a fleeting mention.
Theatre of War reveals that Braxiatel is a Time Lord, like the Doctor, and later events in Tears of the Oracle in 1999 would reveal that he is actually the Doctor's brother.
The character was also to crop up again in Andy Lane's 1995 Missing Adventure novel The Empire of Glass, where he would encounter the First Doctor in 17th Century Venice. - A two-page prelude to Theatre of War, written by Justin Richards, was published in Issue 212 (11/05/94) of Doctor Who Magazine.

'I've been all over the universe with you, Doctor, and Earth in the ninteenth century is the most alien place I've ever seen.'
England, 1887. The secret library of St John the Beheaded has been robbed. The thief has taken forbidden books that tell of mythical beasts and gateways to other worlds. Only one team can be trusted to solve the crime: Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.
As their investigation leads them to the dark underside of Victorian London, Holmes and Watson soon realise that someone else is following the same trail. Someone who has the power to kill with a single glance. And they sense a strange, inhuman shape observing them from the shadows. Then they meet the mysterious traveller known only as the Doctor — the last person alive to read the stolen books.
While Bernice waits in nineteenth-century India, Ace is trapped on a bizarre alien world. And the Doctor finds himself unwittingly united with England's greatest consulting detective.

Notes
- All-Consuming Fire was Andy Lane's first solo Doctor Who novel, after having co-written Lucifer Rising with Jim Mortimore in 1993.
As the back cover blurb explains, the book features Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, but unlike Steve Lyons' Conundrum, it isn't set in the Land of Fiction. Instead, the book takes the premise that the two characters actually existed, but that their adventures were actually only edited by Arthur Conan Doyle in order to protect their real identities.
By a strange coincidence the second title in the Missing Adventures range of books, which commenced publication a month after the release of All-Consuming Fire, was John Peel's Evolution, a Fourth Doctor story which actually featured Conan Doyle as one of its main characters. - Like David A McIntee's earlier White Darkness, All-Consuming Fire builds upon the work of American horror author HP Lovecraft, whose tales of the Great Old Ones and Elder Things were published in the 1920s and 1930s.
Future books by the likes of Craig Hinton (Millennial Rites), and Simon Bucher-Jones and Mark Clapham (The Taking of Planet 5) would also tread into this area, suggesting that the likes of the Great Intelligence have existed since the dawn of the universe, and perhaps even longer... - A two-page prelude to All-Consuming Fire, written by Andy Lane, was published in Issue 213 (08/06/94) of Doctor Who Magazine.

Back Cover Blurb
'Doc's peddling bootleg liquor in an illegal speakeasy. You're carrying a gun for him, Ace — which makes you no better than any other gun-moll.'
Dekker is a private eye; an honest one. But when Al Capone hires him to investigate a new joint called 'Doc's', he knows this is one job he can't refuse. And just why are the Doctor and Ace selling illegal booze in a town full of murderous gangsters?
Meanwhile, Bernice has been abandoned on a vampire-infested planet outside normal space. There she meets a mysterious stranger called Romanadvoratrelundar — and discovers an ancient and malevolent power, linking 1928 Chicago with a lair of immortal evil.
The consequences of this story are inextricably linked to events in the Doctor's past. The full story is revealed in the first of a series of Missing Adventures — Goth Opera by Paul Cornell.

'You've already killed me once girl,' Kreer said. 'Didn't you learn anything from that?'
When Bernice asks to see the dawn of the space age, the Doctor takes the TARDIS to the United States of America in 1957 — and into the midst of distrust and paranoia. The Cold War is raging, bringing the world to the brink of Atomic destruction.
But the threat facing America is far more deadly than Communist Russia. The militaristic Tzun Confederacy have made Earth their next target for conquest — and the aliens are already among us.
Two nuclear warheads have been stolen; there are traitors to the human species in the highest ranks of the army; and alien infiltrators have assumed human form. Only one person knows what's going on: the army's mysterious scientific advisor, the enigmatic Major Kreer.
