'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' is the forty-fifth [[Virgin New Adventures]] novel. It features the [[Seventh Doctor]], [[Bernice Summerfield]], [[Chris Cwej]] and [[Roz Forrester]]. This is the first novel to be a partial novelisation of a [[Doctor Who spin-offs|spin-off video drama]]; ''[[Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans]]'', the action from the video drama takes place in the middle of this novel and does not feature the Doctor or any direct references to him. This is due to the unique licensing and copyright arrangements of spin-offs and the BBC at the time (it was possible for filmmakers to get permission to use characters created by specific writers, so long as the works did not feature BBC-owned properties such as the Doctor). | '''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' is the forty-fifth [[Virgin New Adventures]] novel.
