Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
Earth is in lockdown. But for Lucy Wilson, staying home doesn't mean staying safe.
Dinosaurs, killer plants, even Meme Lords – some enemies just don't respect social distancing. So Lucy and her brainbox sidekick Hobo have no choice but to come to Earth's defence again – although never forgetting to stay two metres away from each other!
In this collection of short stories, Lucy finds herself contending with the challenges of a pandemic, while continuing to rise to the mantle of her legendary grandfather, Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart.
The Lucy Wilson Mysteries is a Lethbridge-Stewart spin-off adventure inspired by characters created for Doctor Who by Mervyn Haisman and Henry Lincoln.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- While all profits from this anthology were donated to NHS charities, Candy Jar Books was in full possession of the rights to the characters used in this story, and retained future commercial rights, also marketing as part of their broader The Lucy Wilson Mysteries series — making it more akin to some of the BBC's Children in Need specials, such as Time Crash, than to the many, more informal "charity works".
- Two of the stories, Copy/Paste and Sweet Revenge, were originally released for free during the COVID-19 pandemic.
