The Eye of the Tyger was the twelfth Telos Doctor Who novella. It featured the Eighth Doctor. This was author Paul McAuley's only contribution to Doctor Who. Doctor Who television writer Neil Gaiman wrote the foreword for this novella.

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

Inhabiting a colony spaceship in the thirty second century are members of a religious cult that left Earth to find a world of their own. Their leader, Seraph, has downloaded his mind into the ship's computers, but now he has gone silent, enticed and serenaded by a siren song coming from inside a black hole. Trapped in orbit around the void, Seraph's followers are confused by his silence, and when the Doctor arrives with his friend Fyne seeking a cure to a raging Tyger-fever which has infected his companion, he finds a world on the brink of chaos.
