(He never really stopped doing Doctor Who fiction even if it wasn't as prolific as the Target era. World Game was two years before Invasion of the Bane and Made of Steel, and Deadly Reunion was three years before. The first two series of SJA do not appear to have specific dates given.)

Invasion of the Bane was a novelisation based on the 2007 television story Invasion of the Bane, the inaugural episode of The Sarah Jane Adventures. It was published simultaneously with the novelisations of Revenge of the Slitheen, Eye of the Gorgon and Warriors of Kudlak.

It was the first novelisation of a Doctor Who-related television production since the 1996 release of The Novel of the Film. With this book, Doctor Who script editor Terrance Dicks returned to the world of episode adaptations; it is his first television novelisation since his adaptation of The Space Pirates was published in 1990.

Publisher's summary

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?

Notes

  • Includes an eight-page section of photographs from the episode.
  • Author Terrance Dicks worked as script editor for Doctor Who in the 1970s and wrote or co-wrote scripts for the series beginning in 1969. He is perhaps best known for writing the lion's share of Target novelisations published between 1974 and the early 1990s. He has contributed to most lines of original Doctor Who fiction published since 1991. His last novelisation before this one was Shakedown in 1995, which was based upon a non-BBC spin-off production.

Deviations from the televised story

  • Due to a typo, Alan Jackson wishes for "Angela Jolie" to appear at his front door, instead of Angelina Jolie as he does in the televised version.
  • Sarah Jane communicates with K9 via a monitor kept in the safe, as opposed to the televised version which implies that the safe contains some sort of dimensional portal.
  • Mr Smith does not play a fanfare when he's activated, as he does in his television appearances.
