The Krillitane Storm (novel)
Publisher's Summary
When the TARDIS materialises in medieval Worcester, the Doctor finds the city seemingly deserted. He soon discovers its population are living in a state of terror, afraid to leave their homes after dark, for fear of meeting their doom at the hands of the legendary Devil’s Huntsman.
For months, people have been disappearing, and the Sheriff has imposed a strict curfew across the city, his militia maintaining control over the superstitious populace with a firm hand, closing the city to outsiders. Is it fear of attack from beyond the city walls that drives him or the threat closer to home? Or does the Sheriff have something to hide?
After a terrifying encounter with a deadly Krillitane, the Doctor realises the city has good reason to be scared.

Story notes
- This book continues the theme set by the BBC Tenth Doctor Adventures line for 2009 in featuring returning monsters from the TV series.
Continuity
- This is at least the third time the Doctor has encountered the Krillitanes. The first time they looked like humans with giraffe necks, the second time like bats at Deffry Vale High School. Even though they have not changed their tails are pointy in this book. (DW: School Reunion)
- Presumably, as The Doctor is back in his brown suit, while in The Taking of Chelsea 426 he has just left Sarah Jane's wedding as he was dressed in his blue suit at her wedding
- Because the Doctor recalls the colonisation of Mars, it is likely that this story is set after the events of The Waters of Mars.
