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.
Doctor Who: The Missing Adventures
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.
- The books introduced a new companion for the Sixth Doctor, Grant Markham. He never had a departure scene.
- Lords of the Storm tied in with the New Adventure novel Shakedown. Both novels featured the Sontarans and the Rutans and they came out in the same month.
- Downtime novelised the direct-to-video story of the same name. It did not featured the Doctor prominently but did feature a cameo by one of his future incarnations.
- Who Killed Kennedy was not really a Missing Adventure, but listed here for the sake of convenience. Co-credited with its fictional protagonist, James Stevens, the book took the form of a mock "nonfiction exposé" of UNIT and its activities. It re-visited the events of the Third Doctor's UNIT Era from Stevens' perspective and gave an Earth-bound view of events, with the Doctor put in short appearances in various incarnations. It came out in the same month as The Eye of the Giant.
- Cold Fusion featutred both the Fifth and Seventh Doctors in the same novel together. The Seventh Doctor's companions Roz and Chris Cwej also appeared.
