The Sontaran Games is an original novel featuring the Tenth Doctor.

Back Cover Blurb
Every time the lights go out, someone dies...

The TARDIS lands at an academy for top athletes, all hoping to be chosen for the forthcoming Globe Games. But is one of them driven enough to resort to murder? The Doctor discovers that the students have been hushing up unexplained deaths.

Teaming up with a young swimmer called Emma, the Doctor begins to investigate — but he doesn't expect to find a squad of Sontarans invading the academy!

As the Sontarans begin their own lethal version of the Globe Games, the Doctor and Emma must find out what's really going on. But the Doctor is captured and forced to take part in the Sontaran Games. Can even a Time Lord survive this deadly contest?

Notes
  • The Sontaran Games was released as part of the Quick Reads scheme, which is designed to encourage more people to read, in particular adult learners. It was the fourth Doctor Who book to be released after the success of I Am a Dalek in 2006, Made of Steel in 2007, and Revenge of the Judoon in 2008.
  • The Sontaran Games is the first book in the New Series Adventures to feature old enemies the Sontarans, who had been re-introduced to the television series in The Sontaran Stratagem and The Poison Sky in 2008.

    Later the same year, The Sarah Jane Adventures saw the debut of Commander Kaagh in The Last Sontaran. The character subsequently re-appeared in the final story of the season, Enemy of the Bane.

Judgement of the Judoon is an original novel featuring the Tenth Doctor.

Back Cover Blurb
Elvis the King Spaceport has grown into the sprawling city-state of New Memphis — an urban jungle, where organized crime is rife. But the launch of the new Terminal 13 hasn't been as smooth as expected. And things are about to get worse...

When the Doctor arrives, he finds the whole terminal locked down. The notorious Invisible Assassin is at work again, and the Judoon troopers sent to catch him will stop at nothing to complete their mission.

With the assassin loose on the mean streets of New Memphis, the Doctor is forced into a strange alliance. Together with teenage private eye Nikki and a ruthless Judoon Commander, the Doctor soon discovers that things are even more complicated — and dangerous — than he first thought...

The Slitheen Excursion is an original novel featuring the Tenth Doctor.

Back Cover Blurb
1500BC — King Actaeus and his subjects live in mortal fear of the awesome gods who have come to visit their kingdom in ancient Greece. Except the Doctor, visiting with university student June, knows they're not gods at all. They're aliens.

For the aliens, it's the perfect holiday — they get to tour the sights of a primitive planet and even take part in local customs. Like gladiatorial games, or hunting down and killing humans who won't be missed.

With June's enthusiastic help, the Doctor soon meets the travel agents behind this deadly package holiday company — his old enemies the Slitheen. But can he bring the Slitheen excursion to an end without endangering more lives? And how are events in ancient Greece linked to a modern-day alien plot to destroy what's left of the Parthenon?

Prisoner of the Daleks is an original novel featuring the Tenth Doctor.

Back Cover Blurb
The Daleks are advancing, their empire constantly expanding in to Earth's space. The Earth forces are resisting the Daleks in every way they can. But the battles rage on across countless solar systems. And now the future of our galaxy hangs in the balance...

The Doctor finds himself stranded on board a starship near the frontline with a group of ruthless bounty hunters. Earth Command will pay them for every Dalek they kill, every eye stalk they bring back as proof. With the Doctor's help, the bounty hunters achieve the ultimate prize: a Dalek prisoner — intact, powerless, and ready for interrogation.

But where the Daleks are involved, nothing is what it seems, and no one is safe. Before long the tables will be turned, and how will the Doctor survive when he becomes a prisoner of the Daleks?

UK | 5 × CD | BBC Audiobooks | September 2009
Unabridged reading of the novel — the first CD release of one of the New Series Adventure books which has not been abridged. The story was read by Nicholas Briggs, best known as the voice of the Daleks in the television series. Unlike the earlier abridged titles, this one is not available to download.
Notes
  • Prisoner of the Daleks is Trevor Baxendale's second novel for the New Series Adventures, having previously been responsible for writing 2007's Wishing Well, and his seventh Doctor Who novel overall, having written four books in the Eighth Doctor Adventures series and one for the Previous Doctor Adventures.
  • Somewhat surprisingly, Prisoner of the Daleks was the first book to feature the Daleks since Gareth Roberts' I Am a Dalek, which had been published as part of the Quick Reads series in 2006. And the last full-length novel to feature them was John Peel's appalling Legacy of the Daleks, which was published as part of the Eighth Doctor Adventures range way back in 1998.
  • Prisoner of the Daleks was released at the same time as Judgement of the Judoon and The Slitheen Excursion.

The Taking of Chelsea 426 is an original novel featuring the Tenth Doctor.

Back Cover Blurb
The Chelsea Flower Show — hardly the most exciting or dangerous event in the calendar, or so the Doctor thinks. But this is Chelsea 426, a city-sized future colony floating on the clouds of Saturn, and the flowers are much more than they seem.

As the Doctor investigates, he becomes more and more worried. Why is shopkeeper Mr Pemberton acting so strangely? And what is Professor Wilberforce's terrible secret?

They are close to finding the answers when a familiar foe arrives, and the stakes suddenly get much higher. The Sontarans have plans of their own, and they're not here to arrange flowers...

Notes
  • Autonomy is Daniel Blythe's first Doctor Who novel since the publication of Infinite Requiem, his second and final story for the New Adventures series way back in 1995.

Their most recent appearance in print prior to Autonomy was in Craig Hinton's Sixth Doctor novel Synthespians™, published in July 2004.
  • Autonomy was released at the same time as The Taking of Chelsea 426 and The Krillitane Storm.

The Krillitane Storm is an original novel featuring the Tenth Doctor.

Back Cover Blurb
When the TARDIS materialises in medieval Worcester, the Doctor finds the city seemingly deserted. He soon discovers its population are living in a state of terror, afraid to leave their homes after dark, for fear of meeting their doom at the hands of the legendary Devil's Huntsman.

For months, people have been disappearing, and the Sheriff has imposed a strict curfew across the city, his militia maintaining control over the superstitious populace with a firm hand, closing the city to outsiders. Is it fear of attack from beyond the city walls that drives him or the threat closer to home? Or does the Sheriff have something to hide?

After a terrifying encounter with a deadly Krillitane, the Doctor realises the city has good reason to be scared.

Notes
  • The Krillitane Storm was Christopher Cooper's first piece of published Doctor Who fiction.
  • The only television appearance of the Krillitanes prior to the publication of The Krillitane Storm was in the 2006 episode School Reunion.
