The Crusade (script)
Unlike other fictional universes, the Doctor Who universe is created solely by fiction. To us, this is not a valid source. Information from this source can only be used in "behind the scenes" sections, or on pages about real world topics.
The Crusade was the tenth and final in a series of script books released by Titan Books.
Two more titles, The Abominable Snowmen and The Pirate Planet, were planned by Titan, but never released.
