The Glamour Chase was the sixth Eleventh Doctor novel to be released.
Publisher's summary
‘Why are you here? I mean – who are you, exactly?’
An archaeological dig in 1936 unearths relics of another time... And – as the Doctor, Amy and Rory realise – another place. Another planet. But if Enola Porter, noted adventuress, has really found evidence of an alien civilisation, how come she isn’t famous? Why has Rory never heard of her? Added to that, since Amy’s been travelling with him for a while now, why does she now think the Doctor is from Mars?
As the ancient spaceship reactivates, the Doctor discovers that nothing and no one can be trusted. The things that seem most real could actually be literal fabrications – and very deadly indeed. Who can the Doctor believe when no one is what they seem? And how can he defeat an enemy who can bend matter itself to their will? For the Doctor, Amy and Rory – and all of humanity – the buried secrets of the past are very much a threat to the present...

References
The Doctor
- The book opens with an unspecified past incarnation of the Doctor. Later in the novel, the Doctor says that that he was unsure which incarnation it was. He thinks that it was possibly between five or eight incarnations before, implying it was either the Third Doctor, Fourth Doctor, Fifth Doctor, or Sixth Doctor. The narration mentions "odd clothes" and "strange hair", suggesting that it may have been the Fourth or Sixth.
- When seeing a drawing of himself the Doctor says that the old brown suit that appears in the picture he's "not fitted into for a while". Which is probably a reference to the outfit worn by his previous incarnation.
Archaeologists
- When listing the greatest archeologists, the Doctor mentions Howard Carter, Indiana Jones, Marcus Scarman, Bernice Summerfield, and Enola Porter.
Races and species
- The Shadow Proclamation, Shadow Architect, and Daleks are referred to.
