The Rise of the New Humans was the first story in The Third Doctor Adventures: Volume 4.

Publisher's summary

When a man dies after falling from the top floor of a multi-storey car park, the Doctor and Jo wonder why it should be of interest to UNIT. Then they see the protuberances on the man's back... As he fell, he tried to grow wings.

Looking into the man's past leads the Doctor and Jo to a remote private hospital where the staff aren't as helpful as they could be, and the Chief Administrator is unavailable to meet with them.

Breaking into some restricted wards, the Doctor notes the presence of alien and futuristic technology. The whole thing bears the unmistakable hallmarks of one of his own people's interference, one of his old foes. Except not perhaps the one he might have imagined.

The Monk is back. And this time his meddling may have gone too far.

  • When talking with the Doctor about his former companions, the Monk mentions "Brassy birds from Blackpool"; this may be a direct reference to Lucie Miller, the Eighth Doctor's former companion (which would suggest that the Hound Monk is chronologically after the Garden Monk), but considering the Monk's sense of humour it could simply be a bad alliterative pun.
