BBC Books has announced three new Fifteenth Doctor novels starring Ncuti Gatwa’s incarnation of Doctor Who, alongside companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson).
Each is an original, standalone adventure, published simultaneously in hardback and audiobook. One — Ruby Red — will even be read by Millie Gibson herself!
It’s wonderful seeing new novels with the current TARDIS team are on the horizon;…

The horror, the horror... John Peel finally returns to the world of Doctor Who after three years, and the results aren't pretty. It's War of the Daleks time, folks.
Pray for me.
Like what I write? Consider supporting me on Ko-fi!

Book stats. BBC Books averaged 4000 units per book, and the reason for rescheduling was that warehouses got too full to store new publications. Surplus stocks of books were sent to orphanages [in] Eastern Europe, where they improved the efficiency of heating systems.

WHAT IF: 60th Anniversary Collection of novel reprints
I love collecting Doctor Who books. I have slightly over 40 of them now, including novelisations, anthologies, script books, and stuff about the making of the TV show. But majority of my collection consists of original novels.
The 50th Anniversary Collection! Back in 2013, BBC Books released a collection of 11 reprints for the 50th anniversary, one book for each Doctor at the time. What a great idea! And they had cool matching covers!
Now, for the record, I have to admit - I only have one of these reprints: Festival of Death by Jonathan Morris. I would buy more of them, but I'm not interested in every single book in the collection. And I already own the previous printings of Dreams of Empire and The Silent Stars Go By, so there's that.
But these reprints seemed like a wonderful idea, so BBC Books did it again. In 2014, they released The Monster Collection - 8 books featuring 8 iconic monsters. In 2015, they published The History Collection - 8 books, all set in various periods in the past.
And in 2016... they just stopped. Because of course they did.
With the upcoming anniversary, I've been hoping for a revival of this inniciative. But as far as I know, no new reprint collection is coming... So listen up, BBC Books! Here's a list of DW novels you should reprint!
Okay, since this is my version of the list, I've only included stuff that I don't already own. There might be more suitable candidates, but I already own The Stealers of Dreams, The Tomb of Valdemar, The Good Doctor, and Alien Bodies. So, you know.
Rule no. 2: No reprints from the previous three collections.
And also - this list includes some novels originally published by Virgin. Now, this probably shouldn't be a problem? While no VNAs or VMAs were included for the 50th collection, they did reprint some for the subsequent two collections. Big Finish have also managed to get the rights to adapt them. Therefore I think this probably wouldn't be a huge problem for BBC Books. Still, I decided to include an alternative for every Virgin novel on the list.
So, here it is!
First Doctor: The Time Travellers by Simon Guerrier
Susan, Ian, Barbara
2005
After reading "Journey Out of Terror" in The Target Storybook, I desperately want more of Simon Guerrier writing for the 1st Doctor, Ian, and Barbara. He just gets their voices so well!
Second Doctor: The Dark Path by David A. McIntee
Jamie, Victoria
1997
The Master has probably almost as many origin stories as the Doctor. This is one of them. As a consequence of that, this book is quite expensive on ebay.
The second Doctor vs Delgado's Master. My fan brain just can't resist this one.
(Alternatively: The Indestructible Man - Simon Messingham)
I love Messingham's Tomb of Valdemar, so I'd like to read more DW stuff written by him.
Third Doctor: Verdigris by Paul Magrs
Jo, Brigadier, Yates, Benton
2000
Featuring Iris Wildthyme. Yeah. Reprint this one.
Fourth Doctor: Scratchman by Tom Baker and James Goss
Sarah Jane, Harry
2019
A new-ish book for the fourth Doctor, largely here because it's such a legendary bit of trivia - Tom Baker and Ian Marter plotted an Doctor Who movie together in the 1970s. This is the novelisation of that movie that never was.
Fifth Doctor: Goth Opera by Paul Cornell
Nyssa, Tegan
1994
Paul Cornell writing for the fifth Doctor? Vampires? I want to read this.
(Alternatively: Divided Loyalties - Garry Russell)
While not known for being particularly good, it features the Toymaker. And somehow had a huge influence on this website. It deserves a reprint.
Sixth Doctor: Millennial Rites by Craig Hinton
Mel
1995
This just seems like the most interesting thing that anyone has ever done with Valeyard, as well as having a really fun premise. Again, I really want to read this.
(Alternatively: Mission: Impractical - David A. McIntee)
Frobisher's in it.
Seventh Doctor: Lungbarrow by Marc Platt
Chris Cwej
1997
They can't keep getting away with not reprinting Lungbarrow. It's the big one. Also, it's one of the most expensive DW books on ebay, so there's that.
Unfortunately, the Doctor Who office seemingly perceives it as a "can of worms", so I'm not holding my breath. Still, they really should reprint it. I feel like it's a key text in the history of Doctor Who and I want to get my hands on it.
(Alternatively: Atom Bomb Blues - Andrew Cartmel)
It's Andrew Cartmel, seemingly getting heavy and political.
Eighth Doctor: Vampire Science by Kate Orman, Jonathan Blum
Sam
1997
There are so many worthy candidates for reprints from EDAs, but I've decide to go back to the beginning... Not the very beginning. I've read The Eight Doctors it's not worth it. But from what I've heard, Vampire Science definitely is.
Ninth Doctor: The Deviant Strain by Justin Richards
Rose, Jack
2005
Gotta admit, this one was something of a random pick? The ninth Doctor doesn't have a lot of books, so might as well go for this one.
Tenth Doctor: The Story of Martha - Dan Abnett
Martha (obviously)
2008
Not only is this a story centered on the best companion of the RTD era, but it also features short stories that Martha tells people? Including one written by ROB SHEARMAN??? This is an auto-include for the tenth Doctor book.
Eleventh Doctor: The Coming of the Terraphiles - Michael Moorcock
Amy
2010
Around the time when DW books weren't really an important part of the series, something wild happened - a hugely important and influential fantasy and sci-fi author wrote a book featuring the eleventh Doctor. No idea why. I'd love to read it, tho.
Twelfth Doctor: Blood Cell - James Goss
Clara
2014
It's the only book from the first batch of 12th Doctor books I don't have. From what I've heard, it's also the best one. I love some of James Goss' other work, so I'm inclined to believe that.
Thirteenth Doctor: At Childhood's End - Sophie Aldred
Ace, Graham, Yaz, Ryan
2020
I love Ace. A friend of mine once told me that this book is amazing, so I'm gonna believe him. It's going on the list.
And there you have it! A list of Doctor Who novels I'd reprint for the 60th Anniversary, if I could. Give them beautiful new covers (matching, obviously) and it's the 60th Anniversary Collection.
On the upside, BBC Books gave us a sextet of new books for the anniversary, which is really cool. And one of them is an epic poem! And one of them is written by Dave Rudden! So there are Doctor Who books to buy this year.
But I really hope they are gonna start doing some reprints again. I think these books deserve it.
