The Day of the Doctor was a novelisation based on the 2013 television episode The Day of the Doctor.
Publisher's summary
Meet the new Doctor Who classics.
When the entire universe is at stake, three different Doctors will unite to save it. The Tenth Doctor is hunting shape-shifting Zygons in Elizabethan England. The Eleventh is investigating a rift in space-time in the present day. And one other – the man they used to be but never speak of – is fighting the Daleks in the darkest days of the Time War. Driven by demons and despair, this battle-scarred Doctor is set to take a devastating decision that will threaten the survival of the entire universe... a decision that not even a Time Lord can take alone.
On this day, the Doctor's different incarnations will come together to save the Earth... to save the universe... and to save his soul.

Deviations from televised story
- The book features scenes from the viewpoint of the Curator.
- There are scenes featuring Mr Armitage, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and River Song.
- The events of TV: The Night of the Doctor are retold. Cass' last name is given as Fermazzi, and Ohila reveals that the regeneration potion she gave the Eighth Doctor was in reality just lemonade and dry ice.
- The colour balance in the War Doctor's new eyes are different, and he muses that his first and second incarnations were colour-blind, and did not realise this until his third incarnation.
- Moving Gallifrey into the painting disrupts its atmosphere; the Twelfth Doctor visits the War Room to coordinate disaster relief.
- The thirteen Doctors help out on Gallifrey saving people from numerous natural disasters caused by trying to shift Gallifrey into another dimension.
- The Black Archive includes VHS cassettes of two "Dr. Who" movies starring Peter Cushing, Daleks: Invasion Earth and one other; the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors watch the movies and pitch a third one to Cushing on the phone. They both call each other Dr. Who for fun.
- The Doctor's other incarnations visited the Under-Gallery for a tea party right before the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors arrived.
- Chapter 13 shows a female incarnation of the Doctor meeting Cass.
- The Tenth Doctor's horse is identified by the name Alison despite the horse being male. This references a similar scene in A Town Called Mercy.
- When listing his companions before regenerating, the Eighth Doctor also mentions Fitz.
- It is said that the Ninth Doctor, soon after regenerating, smashes every mirror in the TARDIS to avoid seeing his new face, and thought of how many children he must save to make up for the ones killed on Gallifrey.
- The Tenth Doctor tells the rabbit he is 900 years old, rather than 904.
- The mental state of Atkins is expanded upon, and he is killed by the Zygon Kate Stewart.
- Osgood and McGillop have romantic feelings for one another.
- Osgood has tattoos of several of the Doctor's faces.
Writing and publishing notes
- Chapter 9 is listed as highly confidential.
- The novel is in memory of Sir John Hurt, who portrayed the War Doctor in the TV story.
