* This story takes place in the mid-21st Century and featured [[K9 Mark III]], the [[K9]] model featured in ''[[K9 and Company]]'' and ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]''; the first-person reader character is a future descendant of [[Sarah Jane Smith]] who inherits the dog. This book was written long before the 2006 episode ''[[School Reunion]]'' in which that version of K9 was destroyed. Nothing in the book precludes the possibility that she could have met the Doctor again sometime before her eventual death. And given that ''School Reunion'' occurs in his chronological future, the assumption from the Sixth Doctor's point of view would have been that it was the same K-9 he gave to Sarah initially.

YOU are the only hope for the salvation of the Doctor in SEARCH FOR THE DOCTOR

The year is 2056. From the Fern Spacelab orbiting above the Fusion Energy Research Network in California, OMEGA has mounted a devastating attack.

OMEGA plans to take over the Doctor's mind and body. By controlling the Doctor's awesome power, OMEGA can take revenge on the Time Lords, who sacrificed him to obtain the secret of Time Travel.
