| '''''The Adventures of K9''''' was a series of four illustrated paperback storybooks for children written by [[David Martin]] and published by [[Sparrow Books]] together on 20 October 1980. The four books feature [[K9]], the character Martin co-created. The books were written in conjunction with a planned but unmade ''K9'' animated series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com/archive/tsv41/affirmativemaster.html|title=Affirmative, Master: All you ever wanted to know about K9|accessdate=19 June 2012|author=Preddle, Jon|year of source=1994|month of source=October|website name=Time-Space Visualiser|publisher= New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club}}</ref>
| |
| Specifically, the stories feature what is most likely to be [[K9 Mark I]] and seemingly take place sometime after the events of ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'' when the Doctor left K9 on [[Gallifrey]].
| |
| | |
| The books include prefaces that indicate that K9 is working on behalf of the [[Time Lord]]s.
| |
| | |
| A total of four books were published:
| |
| | |
| # ''[[K9 and the Time Trap (novel)|K9 and the Time Trap]]''
| |
| # ''[[K9 and the Beasts of Vega (novel)|K9 and the Beasts of Vega]]''
| |
| # ''[[K9 and the Zeta Rescue (novel)|K9 and the Zeta Rescue]]''
| |
| # ''[[K9 and the Missing Planet (novel)|K9 and the Missing Planet]]'' | |
| | |
| They also suggest that the Doctor's real name might be the [[Theta Sigma]] nickname heard in ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'' and ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]''.
