This book adapts Invasion of the Bane, the inaugural episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures. Published at the same time as the novelisations for Revenge of the Slitheen, Eye of the Gorgon and Warriors of Kudlak, but listed first as it's based upon the pilot episode, this marks the first novelisation of a Doctor Who-related television production since the 1996 release of Doctor Who - The Novel of the Film (based upon Doctor Who: The TV Movie) and the first adaptation of a "regular" episode/serial since The Evil of the Daleks in 1994. By writing this inaugural book, Terrance Dicks continues his prolific association with Who-related fiction; this is his first television novelisation since his adaptation of The Space Pirates was published in 1990.

Life on Earth can be an adventure, too. You just need to know where to look.

Maria's fascinated by her new neighbour, Sarah Jane Smith -- she's a journalist, but she also helps aliens! After a visit to the Bubble Shock factory, Sarah Jane and Maria's lives change forever when they meet the Archetype. But why is everything he does so strange? And what does he have to do with Bane, the mysterious organic ingredient in Bubble Shock?
