Hinton's first ''[[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]]'' pitch, ''Cascade'', was about a [[computer virus|virus]] invading [[the Matrix]] and forcing the [[Seventh Doctor]] and the Valeyard teaming up to save Gallifrey. Ten years later, ''Time's Champion'' pitch revisited much of the same territory, only with the Sixth Doctor rather than the Seventh.<ref>[https://gallifreybase.com/gb/threads/the-books-that-never-were.11024/page-2#post-1396339 Re: The books that never were...]</ref> The new version of the story would have tied together elements from Hinton's previous novels, shown the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s [[regeneration]], and explained the origin of [[the Valeyard]]. However, it was rejected. | |||
