Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
Four new adventures featuring classic Doctors encountering monsters from the new series of Doctor Who!
5.1 The Krillitane Feint by John Dorney
The TARDIS brings the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe to a planet where a secure research base is conducting disturbing experiments. A group of captive Krillitane are test subjects for a military power, keen to understand the species' unique abilities. But who are the real monsters here?
5.2 The Dying Breed by Tim Foley
When the Doctor, Leela and K9 land on the Lupari homeworld tracking a temporal anomaly, they find a kingdom in disarray.
The Great Lord Garzan's son has been attacked, and strange beasts roam the frozen landscape. Whilst Leela spars with the new heir, the Doctor and K9 must work out how all these strange events are connected.
Little do they know that their discoveries will shake the Lupari to their core...
5.3 The Krillitane Relic by John Dorney
The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Ray to a space station cryogenic facility, where interplanetary VIPs are stored pending medical cures.
There is a familiar face here too - someone the Doctor remembers, but who does not remember him...
5.4 Five Hundred Ways to Leave Your Lover by Tim Foley
Chris is on a date. But it isn't working out. Perhaps he'll end it over dinner. Or on a cruise. Or in a lunar spa. But who are these figures in red? And why are they so invested in his relationship?
All of reality might be at stake, and the Monks will pursue Chris wherever he goes - but as long as he manages to break up with his boyfriend, the Doctor, everything might be saved...
