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, and was thus tied with those three books as 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.
