The Doctor's not the man he was.  But what has he become?  An old enemy - Faction Paradox, a cult of time-travelling voodoo terrorists - is finally making him one of its own.  These rebels have a mission for him, one that will deliver him into the hands of his own people, who have decreed that he must die.  Except now, it seems, the Time Lords have a mission for him too...

A gargantuan structure, hewn from solid bone, has appeared in the skies over Gallifrey.  Its origin and purpose are unknown, but its powers threaten to tear apart the web of time and the universe with it.  Only the Doctor can get inside... but soon he will learn that nothing is safe and nothing sacred.

Shot by both sides, confronted by past sins and future crimes, the Doctor finds himself a prisoner of his own actions.  With options finally running out, he must face his most crushing defeat or take one last, desperate chance for salvation…

There's a whisper going round that the long-lost temple of the Argian Gods of the Underworld has finally been discovered on the planet Venedel. There's a still quieter whisper that deep inside it lies the Argian Oracle, an ancient artefact that can pinpoint the whereabouts of any soul in the universe. Benny Summerfield sets out to see if the whispers are true ­— and to see if it can tell her the whereabouts of her missing lover. She's got nothing to lose.

Reaching Venedel, Benny finds it under siege from an over-zealous Federation, alleging human rights atrocities and starving the planet out until its people capitulate to its terms. Despite this, a team of Nishtubi mercenaries are running the blockade to supply aid for the Venedelans. But why? They have nothing to gain.

Caught between jingoistic natives, Nishtubi heavies, a plague of ancient killers and the cold, undying secrets of the Gods of the Underworld, Benny and her allies have nowhere to run — and are left facing nothing but trouble.

Fleeing a doomed space station in tiny life capsules, the Doctor and Compassion find themselves prisoners of Parallel 59, a militaristic power on the planet Skale.  Meanwhile Fitz finds himself apparently safe in Mechta, a colony for convalescents.

A space-race is in full swing on Skale, with each of the planet's many blocs desperate to be the first to reach the stars.  If the Doctor's knowledge helps Parallel 59 succeed, the consequences for the rest of the world could be devastating.

But Fitz knows nothing of his friends' predicament.  Enjoying his new life, he's not even sure he wants to be rescued - which is a good thing.

Because the Doctor has no intention of going to Mechta.  He's decreed that Fitz's new found utopia must be totally destoyed.

Far out in space, on the ragged edges of Earth's bloated empire, an elite unit of soldiers is on a training mission. But deep in the heart of the hollowed-out planetoid that forms their battleground, a chilling secret waits to be discovered: ten alien corpses, frozen in time at the moment of violent, bloody death.

The bodies are those of the empire's most wanted terrorists, and their discovery could end a war of attrition devastating the galaxy. But is the same force that slaughtered them still lurking in the dark tunnels of the training ground? And what are its plans for the people of Earth?

When the Doctor arrives on the planetoid with Ben and Polly, he soon scents a net tightening about them. And as the soldiers begin to disappear one by one, paranoia spreads; is the real enemy out there in the darkness, or somewhere among them?

This adventure features the First Doctor and Ben and Polly.

The fuse has been lit.  Reality has been blown apart, and the barriers that shield our universe from the endless others running parallel have shattered with it.  The only chance the Doctor has of saving the multiverse from total collapse is if he can get back to Earth - where the damage was first done - and put things right.

With time running out, the Doctor finally understands why 'our' universe is unique.  In proving it, he nearly destroys the TARDIS and all aboard - and becomes involved with the machinations of the mysterious Timeless organisation.  They can fix your wildest dreams, get away with murder and bring a whole new meaning to the idea of victimless crime.

Soon, Fitz is married, Anji's become a mum, and an innocent man is marked for the most important death in the universe's long history.  The reasons why force the Doctor into a deadly showdown with an old, old enemy, in a killing ground spawned before time and space began.

This is another in the series of original adventures for the Eighth Doctor.

But the ancient satellites hold deadly secrets, as the Doctor, Fitz and Trix soon discover.  With eco-terrorists plotting sabotage, corrupt officials lining their own pockets and sinister forces acting on their own agendas, only the Doctor sees that millions of innocents have been set on the fast track to bloody, unbridled destruction...

Imagine a world where death has meaning, where God exists and faith is untested.  Where people die with the purpose of their lives made clear to them in blissful understanding.  Such a world exists, hidden on the far side of the universe where a battered blue police box has just faded into being...

But unknown to the populace, unknown even to the Creator, an alien evil has stalked this world for hundreds of years.  When the Doctor, Fitz and Anji arrive, they soon find themselves embroiled in the alien's final, desperate plans for this planet - and in the hunt for a murderer who cannot possibly exist...

Unnatural deaths are being visited on the people.  Campaigns of terror threaten to tear this world apart.  It seems that the prophecy of the Vanishing Point where all life shall meet all death under the Creator's aegis is coming to pass.  For when God exists, prophecy, however fantastic or deadly, is fact.

Iris is an enigma... She's an enigma wrapped in a mystery. With a shapeless, tasteless hat clamped to her head. She's an enigma wrapped in a mystery, with a shapeless, tasteless hat clamped her head and she's puffing on a gold-tipped black Sobranie.

And she drives a big red double-decker bus, ostensibly bound for Putney Common. Except it's not. She's been to Putney Common precisely once and that was by accident. That was when she picked up Tom, who is now her best friend.

Together they journey through the multiverse: boozing and fighting; righting wrongs and buggering things up again. Here, in their first exciting anthology of ludicrous adventures they meet monsters, klllers, ambassadors, insect-things, detectives, weirdos, psychics, fiends and sundry perverts.
