The TARDIS takes the Doctor and Rose to a destination in deep space — Justicia, a prison camp stretched over six planets, where Earth colonies deal with their criminals.
While Rose finds herself locked up in a teenage borstal, the Doctor is trapped in a scientific labour camp. Each is determined to find the other, and soon both Rose and the Doctor are risking life and limb to escape in their distinctive styles.
But their dangerous plans are complicated by some old enemies. Are these creatures fellow prisoners as they claim, or staging a takeover for their own sinister purposes?

Notes
- Only Human was released at the same time as The Deviant Strain and The Stealers of Dreams.
- Gareth Robert's first novel based on Doctor Who was The Highest Science for the New Adventures range way back in March 1993. He went on to write a further six novels for Virgin Publishing, including a highly popular trilogy of books featuring the Fourth Doctor and Romana — the final novel being The Well-Mannered War in April 1997.
Only Human marked his long-awaited return to writing full-length Doctor Who fiction, and in May 2006 he wrote I Am a Dalek as the Doctor Who contribution to the Quick Reads scheme.
On television he has worked on Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) and in 2005 wrote the interactive Doctor Who adventure Attack of the Graske. More recently he has co-written Invasion of the Bane, the pilot episode to Sarah Jane Adventures spin-off series, with Russell T Davies, and in April 2007 was finally let loose on Doctor Who itself, scripting The Shakespeare Code.

In the far future, the Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack find a world on which fiction has been outlawed. A world where it's a crime to tell stories, a crime to lie, a crime to hope, and a crime to dream.
But now somebody is challenging the status quo. A pirate TV station urges people to fight back. And the Doctor wants to help — until he sees how easily dreams can turn into nightmares.
With one of his companions stalked by shadows and the other committed to an asylum, the Doctor is forced to admit that fiction can be dangerous after all. Though perhaps it is not as deadly as the truth...

Notes
- The Stealers of Dreams was released at the same time as The Deviant Strain and Only Human.
- Steve Lyon had previously written for all four of the ranges of original Doctor Who fiction released by Virgin Publishing and BBC Books, notching up ten titles in the process. The undisputed highlights are: Conundrum, The Witch Hunters and The Crooked World.
- The Stealers of Dreams was the final book in the New Series Adventures range to feature the Ninth Doctor and Captain Jack, as the Doctor would regenerate at the end of the television episode The Parting of the Ways and Jack would be left for dead at the conclusion of the same story.
Unsurprisingly, the book series continued in April 2006, with the Tenth Doctor making his print debut in Jacqueline Rayner's The Stone Rose. Captain Jack wouldn't re-appear until October 2006 when the television spin-off Torchwood hit the air. The character would later rejoin the TARDIS crew in Utopia, broadcast in June 2007.
