Lucie Miller was the ninth release of the fourth series of The New Eighth Doctor Adventures.
Publisher's summary
'Hello! Doctor, it's me. Lucie. Lucie Miller…'
Lucie Miller needs the Doctor's help. The whole planet Earth needs his help. But he is nowhere to be seen.
While Lucie struggles to survive a terrible sickness, an even greater threat to the human race is about to be unleashed.
And this will be the second Dalek invasion of Earth the Doctor's grand-daughter has had to endure.
'You must accept the reality of your situation. You have been defeated.'
Plot
Only a few decades after, "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" Lucie becomes ill from another plague. It turns out that the invasion is being repeated almost exactly.
Lucie eventually recovers but is left with capplaries and only the sight of one eye. Alex (The Doctor's Great-Grandson), Susan and she work on covert operations with a team of rebels living in submarines, including Sebastian, to overcome the Daleks. Eventually they are on a mission to bomb the mine shaft, which now covers the majority of North America. However the jamming signals they've been using are sabotaged by the Monk who, with Tasmin Drew, is working for the Daleks. Sebastian is killed and the rest of the rebels flee to their submarines.
The Doctor arrives, but is immediately given away by the Monk to the Daleks. The ship he is in, is attacked by Lucie, Susan and Alex's submarine. He sends one message to tell them to pull off the attack, but they cannot and the ship he is in crashes.

References
- Lucie and Alex were travelling in Thailand when a terrible sickness broke out. Although Lucie became infected, Alex did not. They attempted to flee to Bangkok on a bus, though they were thrown off when it became apparent that Lucie had the sickness. Alex managed to procure a satellite phone and left a message with the international operator. After several days, his mother Susan is able to contact Lucie. Due to their Time Lord physiology, Susan and Alex are not affected.
- The doctors and scientists in London believe that the sickness is alien in nature, leading to Earth being quarantined. All of humanity's alien allies have left the planet.
- When Lucie and Alex began travelling, the Doctor slipped the temporal interocitor which had been built by his former companion Nyssa during his fifth incarnation. She used the interocitor to send a message to the TARDIS but the Doctor never arrived.
- Susan is able to pull some strings and has Lucie and Alex taken to a hospital in Singapore. After waiting for several days in a corridor, Lucie is examined by a doctor, who tells her that she is lucky to be alive as the sickness usually kills its victims in a day. Although Lucie partially recovers, she is confined to a wheelchair and lost all sight in her right eye. After a month long journey to Australia, Lucie and Alex procured a military plane using Susan's government connections to return to England.
- Shortly after Lucie and Alex's arrival in England, a fleet of Dalek Flying Saucers is detected in orbit of Earth. Although the planet is conquered in short order and the majority of humanity are once again enslaved by the Dalek Empire, numerous resistance groups exist all over Earth. Susan, Lucie and Alex are with one such group underneath the surface of Portsmouth.
- As did they done in the aftermath of the first 22nd century Dalek invasion, the Daleks have converted numerous humans into Robomen.
- Alex has discovered a fleet of nuclear submarines stored in a nearby warehouse. With the help of the former submarine technician Seb Andrews, Alex is able to activate the submarines' radio masts and hack into the Dalek communication network. They discover that the Daleks are building a mineshaft and propulsion unit which they plan to place in the planet's core. In doing so, they have dug up the majority of North America.
- Lucie sarcastically refers to Alex as "Alexander the Great."
