'''''The Adventures of K9''''' was a series of four illustrated paperback storybooks for children written by [[David Martin]] and published by [[Sparrow Books]] together on 20 October 1980. The four books feature [[K9]], the character Martin co-created. The books were written in conjunction with a planned but unmade ''K9'' animated series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com/archive/tsv41/affirmativemaster.html|title=Affirmative, Master: All you ever wanted to know about K9|accessdate=19 June 2012|author=Preddle, Jon|year of source=1994|month of source=October|website name=Time-Space Visualiser|publisher= New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club}}</ref> | |||
Specifically, the stories feature what is most likely to be [[K9 Mark I]] and seemingly take place sometime after the events of ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'' when the Doctor left K9 on [[Gallifrey]]. | |||
The books include prefaces that indicate that K9 is working on behalf of the [[Time Lord]]s. | |||
A total of four books were published: | |||
# ''[[K9 and the Time Trap (novel)|K9 and the Time Trap]]'' | |||
# ''[[K9 and the Beasts of Vega (novel)|K9 and the Beasts of Vega]]'' | |||
# ''[[K9 and the Zeta Rescue (novel)|K9 and the Zeta Rescue]]'' | |||
# ''[[K9 and the Missing Planet (novel)|K9 and the Missing Planet]]'' | |||
They also suggest that the Doctor's real name might be the [[Theta Sigma]] nickname heard in ''[[The Invasion of Time (TV story)|The Invasion of Time]]'' and ''[[The Happiness Patrol (TV story)|The Happiness Patrol]]''. | |||
