The Analysis Bureau (novel)
The Analysis Bureau was a spin-off novel of Lethbridge-Stewart, released by Candy Jar Books in August 2022.
Publisher's summary
The Analysis Bureau does not exist. Ask any questions about it, and the same answers always greet you. There's no trace of any department matching that name in any branch of Government, only speculation and wild rumours.
At the beginning of the 1960s, some conspiracy theorists even started to claim that there was a village, once the home to an entire community, abandoned during the Second World War due to flooding. They said it’s where experiments and tests are being carried out. Some even claim that the Analysis Bureau used the village as a base of operations, and that there were underground bunkers built way beneath the rural façade of cottages, shops and even a village green.
Of course, those who got anywhere near the truth disappeared just as quickly as the people who asked too many questions, because they were the ones who refused to believe that there was no such thing as the Analysis Bureau.

Notes
- The book comprises of four short stories. The first three are interlinked. The fourth story is an unpublished 'lost' lethbridge-stewart story,
- The story titles are The Reconnaissance Of Death, The Damocles Project and The Synthetic Man. The 'lost' story is called Hide In Plain Sight.
- The stories are referred to as 'Incidents' rather than stories, as a tribute to Philip Martin, who called each episode of his TV series, Gangsters, in the same way, instead of calling them Episode One, Episode Two, etc. Martin also worked for Candy Jar Books, who published his third Gangsters novel shortly after he passed away.
