COLD FUSION
AN ORIGINAL NOVEL FEATURING THE FIFTH DOCTOR, ADRIC, NYSSA AND TEGAN

'THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS AT STAKE AND I'M LOCKED IN HERE WITH ANOTHER INCARNATION OF MYSELF, AND NOT EVEN ONE OF THE GOOD ONES.'

More than one TARDIS lands on a barren ice world.  The fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan find a once ordered society on the verge of collapse, as rebels wage a dirty war with Scientifica, the ruling elite.  All that stands between order and anarchy is the massed presence of an Adjudicator peacekeeping force.

But is peace the only reason for the Adjudicator garrison?  What exactly has been discovered deep beneath the planet's surface?  Who are the mysterious Ferutu?  And why is telling a ghost story a criminal offence?

The fifth Doctor sides with the cause of justice and fairness as always.  But, as a threat to the universe unfolds, he finds himself in conflict with his past... and his future.

This adventure takes place between the television stories CASTROVALVA and FOUR TO DOOMSDAY and between the New Adventures RETURN OF THE LIVING DAD and THE DEATH OF ART.

This is LANCE PARKIN's third DOCTOR WHO book, and that's just this year.  This latest one has more robots than his first and fewer footnotes than the second.

Cover painting: Alister Pearson

The Doctor. Fitz and Compassion arrive on the planet Eskon - a strange world of ice and fire.  Far beneath the planet's burning surface are vast lakes frozen solid by the glacial subterranean temperature.

But the civilised community that relies on the ice reservoirs for its survival has more to worry about than a shortage of water.  The hideous slimers - degenerate mutations in the population - are growing more hostile by the moment, and their fanatical leader will stop at nothing to exact revenge against those in authority.  But what connects the slimers to the unknown horror that lurks deep beneath the ice?  And what is the terrible truth that the city leaders will do anything to conceal?

To unearth the ugliest secrets of Eskon, the TARDIS crew becomes involved in a desperate conflict.  While Fitz is embroiled in the deadly plans of the slimers, the Doctor and Compassion must lead a danger-fraught subterranean expedition to prevent a disaster that could destroy the very essence of Eskon… its cold heart.

*2018 LOCUS AWARD WINNER OF BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL*
*2018 HUGO AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST NOVEL*

"John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today." - Joe Hill, author of The Fireman

The first novel of a new space-opera sequence set in an all-new universe by the Hugo Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Redshirts and Old Man's War

Our universe is ruled by physics. Faster than light travel is impossible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field available at certain points in space-time, which can take us to other planets around other stars.

Riding The Flow, humanity spreads to innumerable other worlds. Earth is forgotten. A new empire arises, the Interdependency, based on the doctrine that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It’s a hedge against interstellar war - and, for the empire’s rulers, a system of control.

The Flow is eternal - but it’s not static. Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well. In rare cases, entire worlds have been cut off from the rest of humanity. When it’s discovered that the entire Flow is moving, possibly separating all human worlds from one another forever, three individuals—a scientist, a starship captain, and the emperox of the Interdependency—must race against time to discover what, if anything, can be salvaged from an interstellar empire on the brink of collapse.

"Fans of Game of Thrones and Dune will enjoy this bawdy, brutal, and brilliant political adventure" - Booklist on The Collapsing Empire

"Political plotting, plenty of snark, puzzle-solving, and a healthy dose of action... Scalzi continues to be almost insufferably good at his brand of fun but think-y sci-fi adventure." - Kirkus Reviews on The Collapsing Empire

"Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced." - The Wall Street Journal on The Human Division

According to popular legend, the great humanitarian Stewart Ransom founded the Independent Earth Colony on Axista Four in the year 2439, but the truth is not as neat and simple as the legend would suggest...

The year is 2539.  Arriving on Axista Four the Doctor, Zoe and Jamie find the colony in a state of chaos.  A breakaway group of colonists - the 'Realists' - has abandoned Ransom's Back to Basics ideals and is creating a new high-tech settlement.  The 'Loyalists' who remain are dwindling in number and face total extinction.

Meanwhile, a spaceship from Earth has arrived with news that 80,000 refugees are about to descend upon the planet; the Realists are staging raids on the wreck of the colony ship, and in a secret underground bunker mysterious aliens who claim to be the planet's first colonists are beginning to awake.

Who are the dog-like aliens who call themselves Tyrenians?  What is the secret agenda of the sinister Federation Administrator Greene?  And what really happened when the colony ship crash-landed on Axista Four 100 years ago?

This adventure features the Second Doctor, Zoe and Jamie and the Seventh Doctor and Ace.

When 400-year-old tribal mummies inexplicably return to life and begin murdering tourists on an exotic alien island, the Doctor's initial urge to investigate lands himself, Jamie and Victoria right in the middle of a jungle holocaust.

Ferocious cannibals and deadly beasts stalk the swamps, mummies lurk amongst the trees and the peaceful, civilised locals are reverting to long-forgotten head-hunting practices. Something is giving a clarion call to savagery, something that can only be found in the deepest darkness at the heart of the hostile rainforest.

It could be the end of the river for the TARDIS companions as they find themselves involved in a horrific jungle conflict between desperate guerilla tribesmen and merciless colonial forces. Cannibalism could be the least of the worries as evil stirs the pot and the dead reach for the living...

This adventure features the Second Doctor, Jamie and Victoria.

An extraordinary discovery in the Valley of the Kings leaves historians bemused and asking the question…

The only daughter of the great Pharaoh Amenhotep II, Princess Erimemushinteperem has lived a comfortable, privileged life safe in Pharaoh's luxurious palace in Thebes, surrounded by servants, slaves and friends. But her sixteenth year will bring Erimem and her brothers into contact with war, death, treachery, assassins and tragedy, and will lead her to a destiny she had never imagined… or wanted.

Escaping from one battle and straight into another, the Doctor and his companion, Catherine, find themselves on a far flung world where time travellers are persecuted as witches and warlocks by the Papal Inquisition.

STAR TOURS

By the 26th century, humanity had begun its expansion to the stars, and the Interstellar Dominion Electorates reigned over a unified Terra - but New York was still New York, Broadway was still Broadway, and live theater was bigger and better than ever.

The excited theater pioneers of the newly formed Star Company were dedicated to taking their act on the road - and out to the stars.  They were far too busy with tryouts to pay any attention to current events, and the constant harangues of the reactionary LORDS party on the public wallscreens.

Then the LORDS party turned its attack on theater and its "timeless repertory of immorality."  Suddenly the Star Company was off on a madcap race to finish its preparations, buy a ship and hire a pilot, and lift off Terra before it was grounded forever... or worse!

Deep in the African rain forest, near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists are mysteriously and brutally killed in a matter of minutes.

Ten thousand miles away, Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, watches a gruesome video transmission of the aftermath: a camp destroyed, tents crushed and torn, equipment scattered in the mud alongside dead bodies - all motionless except for one moving image - a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur.

In San Francisco, primatologist Peter Elliot works with Amy, a gorilla with an extraordinary vocabulary of 620 "signs," the most ever learned by a primate, and she likes to finger paint. But recently her behavior has been erratic and her drawings match, with stunning accuracy, the brittle pages of a Portuguese print dating back to 1642…a drawing of an ancient lost city. A new expedition - along with Amy - is sent into the Congo, where they enter a secret world, and the only way out may be through a horrifying death.....

Congo was adapted to the screen and directed by Frank Marshall.

The Earth has been invaded by the Illyri, a beautiful, civilized, yet ruthless alien race.

Humanity has been conquered, but still it fights the invaders. The Resistance grows stronger, for it is the young people of Earth who battle the Illyri.

Syl Hellais, conceived among the stars, is the oldest alien child on Earth, the first to reach 16 years of age. Her father is one of the rulers of the planet. Her future is assured. And Syl has hidden gifts, powers that even she does yet fully understand.

But all is not as it seems. Secret experiments are being conducted on humans, the Illyri are at war among themselves, and the sinister Nairene Sisterhood has arrived on Earth, hungry for new blood. When Syl helps a pair of young Resistance fighters to escape execution, she finds herself sentenced to death, pursued by her own kind, and risks breaking the greatest taboo of her race by falling in love with a human.

Now the hunter has become the hunted, and the predators become prey.

And as Syl Hellais is about to learn, the real invasion has not yet even begun....

The war raged across the galaxy.  Billions had died, billions more were doomed.  Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and - worse - random.  The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist.  Principles were at stake.  There could be no surrender.

Within the cosmic confliict, an individual crusade.  Deep inside a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed by mortals, lay a fugitive Mind.  Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it.  It was the fate of Horza, the Changer, and his motley crew of unpredictable mercenaries, human and machine, to actually find it, and with it their own destruction.

Consider Phlebas - a space opera of stunning power and awesome imagination.

"Poetic, humorous, baffling, terrifying, sexy - the books of Iain M. Banks are all these things and more." NME

The civil war among the alien atevi has ended.  Tabini-aiji, powerful ruler of the Western Association, along with Cajeiri, his son and heir, and his human paidhi, Bren Cameron, have returned to the Bujavid, their seat of power.  But factions that remain loyal to the opposition are still present, and the danger these rebels pose is far from over.  Since the rebellion, Bren Cameron's apartment in the capital has been occupied by an old noble family from the Southern district - the same district from which the coup was initiated.  This family now claims loyalty to Tabini, but the aiji is dubious, and dealing with these possible rebel infiltrators will require finesse on Tabini's part.  To avoid additional conflict, Bren has decided to absent himself from the Bujavid and visit Najida, his country estate on the west coast.

Tabini-aiji has once again taken over the job of training his young son in the traditional ways of the atevi, and has Cajeiri under strict supervision.  But after two years in space, surrounded by human children, Cajeiri bristles in this highly controlled and boring environment.  He misses his human associates in space, he misses the company of his wily great-grandmother, but most of all, he misses his close association with nand' Bren.  Desperate for freedom and adventure, disregarding the obvious danger, Cajeiri escapes the tightly guarded Bujavid with his young bodyguards and sets out secretly to join Bren on the coast.

Determined to insure his son's safety, Tabini recalls Ilisidi from her home in the East, asking her to find Cajeiri and secure him at Bren's estate.  But it has been a long time since Bren has been to Najida, and the war has shifted allegiances in many quarters.  A district that once was considered a safe haven might now be a trap.  And with Bren, Cajeiri, and Ilisidi all under one roof and separated from their allies, that trap is now baited.

'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 town's inhabitants.

The Doctor, Ace and Bernice think they're investigating a murder mystery. But it's 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.

Alpha Station, orbiting the world of the alien atevi, has taken aboard five thousand human refugees from a destroyed station in a distant sector of space.  With supplies and housing stretched to the breaking point, the refugees must be relocated down to the planet, and soon.  But not to the atevi mainland: rather to the territory reserved for humans, the island of Mospheira.

Tabini-aiji, the powerful political head of the atevi, tasks his brilliant human diplomat, Bren Cameron, to negotiate with the Mospheiran government.  In the decades Bren has served Tabini, he has become enmeshed in the atevi world in a way no human ever has before and become close to Tabini's young son and heir, Cajieri, the first atevi child ever to grow up in the presence of a human.  Bren is to inform the president of Mospheira that he is no longer his diplomat, that Mospheira must take in the refugees from Alpha, and that there is no other acceptable solution.

But the Mospheirans are not enthusiastic about welcoming these immigrants from space, for the Alpha Station refugees represent a political faction that the people of Mospheira broke from two centuries ago.

While Bren travels to Mospheira, Tabini sends Cajieri to the country to visit his uncle Tatiseigi a political gesture to shore up an old man and give the boy a well-earned vacation from the formality of the atevi court.  Tatiseigi's neighbors, however, are determined to end an old feud to their own satisfaction.... and Cajieri's presence is just the excuse they need.

The Jedi have struck a blow against tyranny. Can they strike down ultimate evil?

Chief of State Natasi Daala has been overthrown, and the Jedi Order has taken control of the Galactic Alliance. But while the new governors dismantle Daala’s draconian regime, forces still loyal to the deposed official are mobilizing a counterstrike. And even the Jedi’s new authority may not be enough to save Tahiri Veila, the former Jedi Knight and onetime Sith apprentice convicted of treason for the killing of Galactic Alliance officer Gilad Pellaeon.

Meanwhile, Luke and Ben Skywalker are relentlessly pursuing Abeloth, the powerful dark-side entity bent on ruling the galaxy. But as they corner their monstrous quarry on the planet Nam Chorios, the two lone Jedi must also face the fury of the Sith death squadron bearing down on them. And when Abeloth turns the tables with an insidious ambush, the Skywalkers’ quest threatens to become a suicide mission.

Long ago and far away, the Doctor and Leela faced the Robots of Death…

To a society dependant on robots, the news that these benign, tireless, obedient labourers could be turned into killers would cause panic.  So it was kept a secret.  In Kaldor City, only three survivors of the Sandminer massacre know the truth.  But now, several years later, they are beginning to show signs of mental breakdown.  And once again, the robots are being programmed to kill.  Can the dead genius Taren Capel possibly be involved in this new outrage?

Worst of all, this time the deadly robots are not confined to a Sandminer.  This time they are loose in Kaldor City.  And this time, unless the Doctor and Leela can stop them, they really will destroy the world…

George Lucas brought us the blockbuster Star Wars® film trilogy.  Then some of science fiction's best writers® expanded the adventure in their bestselling Star Wars novels.  Now the tradition continues with the culmination of a love story than spans a war-torn galaxy...

Han Solo reacts badly to the news.  Tricking Leia, he flees with her to the beautiful but untamed planet of Dathromir, where he hopes to change her mind - and win her heart.  Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker and Artoo form an unlikely partnership with the jilted prince to track down the runaways.  But their mission is only the beginning of an adventure that will lead to the discovery of an awesome treasure, a group of Force-trained "witches," and a showdown with an invincible foe.

THE DAEDELUS
MISSION:2

The planet called Dendra seemed too good to be true.  One vast forest world, marvelous climate, few dangerous beasts, a balanced hospitable ecology - all should have spelled out a good place for a human colony.

But the original survey team had registered doubts, listed it as borderline without further explanation.  Nevertheless the politicians had okayed it and a colony had been landed there... and a hundred and fifty Earthly years has passed without anyone hearing from it.

Now the recontact vessel Daedelus was coming to check up - and they found the climate as marvelous as before, the forest green and friendly, and the colony as inexplicable disaster.  There was a biological and psychological puzzle that had to be solved for the sake of all human worlds - and for the crew of the Daedelus it was either crack it or crack up.

CUCKOO'S EGG

They named him Thorn.  They told him he was of their people, although he was so different.  He was ugly in their eyes, strange, sleek-skinned instead of furred, clawless, different.  Yet he was of their power class: judge-warriors, the elite, the fighters, the defenders.

Thorn knew that his difference was somehow very important - but not important enough to prevent murderous conspiracies against him, against his protector, against his caste, and perhaps against the peace of the world.  But when the crunch came, when Thorn finally learned what his true role in life was to be, that on him might hang the future of two worlds, then he had to stand alone to justify his very existence.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The third book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction from the author of the Reckoners series, the Mistborn trilogy, and the Stormlight Archive.

Spensa’s life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell—the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What’s more, she traveled light-years from home as an undercover spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home.

Now, the Superiority—the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life—has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa’s seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant. Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator.

Except that Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. And maybe, if she’s able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She could save the galaxy.

The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which few ever return.

To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is terrifying.

When a Thal platoon arrive on a hostile planet investigating reports that Dalek artefacts have been detected, they are unprepared for what they find. In an underground room is a stranger, a Professor, or so he claims, with no memory of who he is or why he is there.

With death and horror their only companions, the Thals make their way with the Professor into the heart of a crumbling Dalek citadel in search of answers … only to find that the Daleks are the least of the horrors they must face.

AN ORIGINAL DOCTOR WHO NOVEL

'Wherever this cocaine has travelled, it hasn't gone alone. Death has been its attendant. Death in a remarkably violent and inelegant form.

The Doctor, Chris and Roz arrive at the Quadrant, a troubled council block in Thatcher's Britain. There's a new drug on the streets, a drug that's killing to a plan. Somehow, the very ordinary people of the Quadrant are involved. And so, amidst the growing chaos, a bizarre trio moves into number 43.

The year is 1987: a dead drug dealer has risen from the grave, and an ancient weapon is concealed beneath human tragedy. But the Doctor soon discovers that the things people do for their children can be every bit as deadly as any alien menace - as he uncovers the link between a special child, an obsessive woman, and a desperate bargain made one dark Christmas Eve.

DOCTOR WHO

RUSSELL T DAVIES is an award-winning TV dramatist, having created the controversial adult soap opera Revelations and the acclaimed BBC children's serieals Century Falls and Dark Season.  He loves Doctor Who, and all television.

'The Brigadier's going to shoot you, Jo,' the Doctor said grimly, 'and then he's going to shoot me. Both of us are going to die.'

The Doctor builds a machine designed to predict the future. It shows the Brigadier murdering him and Jo in cold blood. Unable to tell where or when this event is destined to occur, the Doctor and Jo decide that they must stay apart.

Jo is sent on a top-secret mission to the war-torn Arab nation of Kebiria. But upon arrival, she is immediately arrested and consigned to a brutal political prison. The Kebirians have something to hide: deep in the North African desert, an alien infestation is rapidly growing. And the Doctor and UNIT soon discover that unless it is stopped, the alien presence will spread to overrun the entire world.
