Virgin Missing Adventures
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Following the success of the New Adventures, a series based on the Seventh Doctor and his companions from Survival onwards, Virgin Books began a new series, Virgin Missing Adventures. These novels featured the adventures of the first six incarnations of the Doctor.
Notes
- The first Missing Adventure Goth Opera was a sequel (and also prequel, from the Doctor's point of view) to the New Adventure novel Blood Harvest. This was an obvious ploy to get readers of the New Adventures books to buy both books.
- Lords of the Storm tied in with the New Adventure novel Shakedown. Both featured the Sontarans and the Rutans and they came out in the same month.
- The books introduced a new companion for the Sixth Doctor, Grant Markham.
- Downtime novelised the direct-to-video story of the same name. It featured a cameo by a future Doctor.
- Not really a Virgin Missing Adventure but included on the list but included as one for purposes of convenience, Who Killed Kennedy, took the form of a mock "nonfiction exposé" of UNIT and its activities. It centered not on the the Doctor but on James Stevens (the fictional "co-author" of the book) and re-visited the events of the Third Doctor's UNIT Era from Stevens' perspective. The Doctor put in only brief appearances. It came out in the same month as The Eye of the Giant.
- Cold Fusion took the form of a direct crossover between the two series in the form of the Fifth and Seventh Doctors appearing in the same novel together, along with the latter's companions Roz and Chris Cwej.
