Target Books was unable to come to agreement with [[Douglas Adams]] or [[Eric Saward]] on the adaptation of several serials. As a result, the Adams-written (or co-written) ''[[The Pirate Planet]]'', ''[[City of Death]]'' and unbroadcast ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]'', and Saward's two [[Dalek]] stories, ''[[Resurrection of the Daleks]]'' and ''[[Revelation of the Daleks]]'', were never adapted for Target (the Saward stories were at one point announced as future releases, but were cancelled). Years later, the New Zealand ''Doctor Who'' Fan Club published fan-written novellas adapting these storylines. In 2012, [[BBC Books]] published a new official novelisation of ''[[Shada (novelisation)|Shada]]'' by [[Gareth Roberts]], the first new ''Doctor Who'' novelisation in 16 years; an adaptation of ''[[City of Death (novelisation)|City of Death]]'' by [[James Goss]] was published in May 2015 and The Pirate Planet | Target Books was unable to come to agreement with [[Douglas Adams]] or [[Eric Saward]] on the adaptation of several serials.
