The first novel, published in [[1991 (releases)|1991]], continued the adventures of the [[Seventh Doctor]] and [[Ace]] after the TV story ''[[Survival (TV story)|Survival]]''; later novels introduced new [[companion]]s like [[Bernice Summerfield]], who became the range's main protagonist in [[1997 (releases)|1997]] when [[BBC Books]] took over the license for publishing original ''[[Doctor Who]]'' fiction. As the New Adventures were geared for an older audience than the TV show, they included mature themes, strong language, violence, and [[Sexuality|sexual elements]]. | The '''New Adventures''' were a series of original, full-length novels published by [[Virgin Books]].
