Revision as of 02:19, 27 May 2015
Interference: Book Two (Hour of the Geek) was the twenty-sixth BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures novel. It featured the Eighth Doctor, Fitz Kreiner and is the final novel to feature Samantha Jones. It also featured the Third Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith. This novel and the novel that preceded it Interference - Book One are the only two-part novels ever published as part of a Doctor Who novel range. This novel continued with the stories began in Interference - Book One. This novel includes one of the only prose based regenerations of the Doctor. This novel is Lawrence Miles' penultimate contribution to the EDA range, and his last contribution to the Faction Paradox arc. He later spun the Faction Paradox series off into its own universe, distinct from the Doctor Who universe.
Publisher's summary
They call it the Dead Frontier. It's as far from home as the human race ever went, the planet where mankind dumped the waste of its thousand-year empire and left its culture out in the sun to rot.
But while one Doctor faces both his past and his future on the Frontier, another finds himself on Earth in 1996, where the seeds of the empire are only just being sown. The past is meeting the present, cause is meeting effect, and the TARDIS crew is about to be caught in the crossfire.
The Third Doctor. The Eighth Doctor. Sam. Fitz. Sarah Jane Smith. Soon, one of them will be dead; one of them will belong to the enemy; and one of them will be something less than human...
