The New Adventures published by Virgin were a series of original, full-length Doctor Who novels that continued the adventures of the Seventh Doctor (and, originally, Ace) following on from the TV story, Survival. Over the course of the books, the Doctor and Ace first met Bernice "Benny" Summerfield and Ace left to stay in the 26th century where over the course of three years (in terms of her own timeline) she gew into the hardened Dalek killer much removed from her television portrayal. Fans referred to her version of the character as "Space Bitch Ace". Ace and Benny both eventually left the series though Ace made two and Benny would make the occasional guest appearances. The series also introduced several other new companions.
The series concluded with the Eighth Doctor novel The Dying Days. After The Dying Days concluded, the books continued with Bernice as the principal character in a new series of novels.
Apart from the novels, a few of the comics and audios take place specifically in the New Adventures continuity and feature the Seventh Doctor, Bernice and the older version of Ace together. The Missing Adventures at times would have links with the New Adventures. A story strand originated in Blood Harvest continued into the first Missing Adventure Goth Opera in an effort to get readers to buy both books. Shakedown and Lords of the Storm both featured the Sontarans in the same month. The Missing Adventure Cold Fusion featured both the Fifth Doctor as his companions along with the Seventh Doctor and Roz and Chris Cwej from the New Adventures.
