Still suffering from the effects of the psychoactive drug [[SB-117]] from his one-month stay on the [[Inferno Earth]], [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart]] remains unsure about his memories. He recalls having been assigned to look into [[Ed Hill]] - lead singer of [[Kathmandu]] - by [[General]] [[Oliver Hamilton]] and attending his return performance at [[Wembley Stadium]] where he learned that [[Eighth Doctor|someone else]] had stepped in and sorted things out. Lance Corporal [[William Bishop]] is assigned as Lethbridge-Stewart's adjutant to aid his continuing investigation into the events of the Wembley Stadium incident.
[[Anne Travers]], who is back in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] working in the [[Ministry of Technology]]'s [[The Vault (The Scales of Injustice)|secret Vault]], receives a letter from her [[Margaret Travers|mother]]'s side of the family regarding her inheritance and makes the trip back to her family home in [[London]] to sort things out. She finds that her father is not in but that his old colleague Professor [[Joseph Watkins|Watkins]] and his niece [[Isobel Watkins|Isobel]] are living there. She makes contact with [[Morcambe & Slant]] solicitors. [[Rupert Slant]], an impossibly old man, reveals that he has been the Goff family solicitor for many years and that Anne's great-great-great-grandfather [[Archibald Goff]] had somehow foreseen her existence and left a letter and an item for her on [[24 September]] [[1939]] with strict instructions for her to open it in [[1969]]. The item appears to be a square lump of metal that vibrates, Archibald describes it as a "crystal machine" in his letter and reveals that it came from a fallen star that he witnessed crash landing in [[Fang Rock]] in [[1923]]. Archibald instructs Anne to find a missing component of the crystal machine and to make it work again to save her future and his past. Anne begins to work on the crystal machine in the Vault. She has started to research her family tree and learned from her brother [[Alun Travers|Alun]] about the bad blood between the Goffs and the Travers for a hundred years dating back to a [[Vina Travers]] in [[1820]].
On Fang Rock, [[BBC3]] reporter [[Steve Worman]] and his cameraman [[Jim Saunders]] have been sent to cover the grand reopening of the lighthouse. Steve subjects [[Mark Powell]], an official from [[Trinity House]], to an intense interrogation about the lighthouse's murky past including the sightings of the mythical [[Beast of Fang Rock]] in the [[1920s]] and the discovery of seven bodies at the lighthouse in [[1902]]. Mark angrily terminates the interview calling Steve's approach sensationalist. Steve turns his attention to interviewing some of the students who have attended the reopening, and Jim spends time sharing a blunt with [[Owain Vine]] - one of the students who has visited the lighthouse with his friend [[Jennie Rudge]]. Jim and Owain witness a shooting star which, upon inspection from Jim's camera, they realise is a [[UFO]]. Owain contacts his 'uncle', Lethbridge-Stewart, to report the sighting.

Beast of Fang Rock was the third novel in the Lethbridge-Stewart series, released by Candy Jar Books in 2015.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

"There's always death on the rock when the Beast's about."

Fang Rock has always had a bad reputation. Since 1955 the lighthouse has been out of commission, shut down because of fire that gutted the entire tower. But now, finally updated and fully renovated, the island and lighthouse is once again about to be brought back into service.

Students have gathered on Fang Rock to celebrate the opening of the "most haunted lighthouse of the British Isles", but they get more than they bargained for when the ghosts of long-dead men return, accompanied by a falling star.

Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart is brought in to investigate what he believes to be signs of alien involvement. But it is not only Lethbridge-Stewart who has an interest in Fang Rock. Anne Travers is called to her family solicitor's, who have in their possession a letter from Archibald Goff, the paranormal investigator who once visited Fang Rock back in the 1820s, and along with it a piece of alien technology.

What connects a shooting star, ghosts of men killed in 1902 and the beast that roamed Fang Rock in 1823? Lethbridge-Stewart and Anne Travers are about to discover the answer first hand...

Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]

Still suffering from the effects of the psychoactive drug SB-117 from his one-month stay on the Inferno Earth, Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart remains unsure about his memories. He recalls having been assigned to look into Ed Hill - lead singer of Kathmandu - by General Oliver Hamilton and attending his return performance at Wembley Stadium where he learned that someone else had stepped in and sorted things out. Lance Corporal William Bishop is assigned as Lethbridge-Stewart's adjutant to aid his continuing investigation into the events of the Wembley Stadium incident.

Anne Travers, who is back in the UK working in the Ministry of Technology's secret Vault, receives a letter from her mother's side of the family regarding her inheritance and makes the trip back to her family home in London to sort things out. She finds that her father is not in but that his old colleague Professor Watkins and his niece Isobel are living there. She makes contact with Morcambe & Slant solicitors. Rupert Slant, an impossibly old man, reveals that he has been the Goff family solicitor for many years and that Anne's great-great-great-grandfather Archibald Goff had somehow foreseen her existence and left a letter and an item for her on 24 September 1939 with strict instructions for her to open it in 1969. The item appears to be a square lump of metal that vibrates, Archibald describes it as a "crystal machine" in his letter and reveals that it came from a fallen star that he witnessed crash landing in Fang Rock in 1923. Archibald instructs Anne to find a missing component of the crystal machine and to make it work again to save her future and his past. Anne begins to work on the crystal machine in the Vault. She has started to research her family tree and learned from her brother Alun about the bad blood between the Goffs and the Travers for a hundred years dating back to a Vina Travers in 1820.

On Fang Rock, BBC3 reporter Steve Worman and his cameraman Jim Saunders have been sent to cover the grand reopening of the lighthouse. Steve subjects Mark Powell, an official from Trinity House, to an intense interrogation about the lighthouse's murky past including the sightings of the mythical Beast of Fang Rock in the 1920s and the discovery of seven bodies at the lighthouse in 1902. Mark angrily terminates the interview calling Steve's approach sensationalist. Steve turns his attention to interviewing some of the students who have attended the reopening, and Jim spends time sharing a blunt with Owain Vine - one of the students who has visited the lighthouse with his friend Jennie Rudge. Jim and Owain witness a shooting star which, upon inspection from Jim's camera, they realise is a UFO. Owain contacts his 'uncle', Lethbridge-Stewart, to report the sighting.
