In Infamy of the Zaross, penned by John Dorney, Jackie Tyler’s peaceful getaway to Norwich takes a dramatic turn when an alien invasion disrupts her holiday. The Zaross, notorious throughout the galaxy, have arrived on Earth. Or have they? When Jackie calls upon the Doctor and Rose for help, they quickly realize this is no ordinary invasion.

This story promises twists and turns, exploring themes of deception and uncovering hidden agendas within an alien threat.
Moving to 1791, The Sword of the Chevalier, crafted by Guy Adams, transports the Doctor and Rose to meet the Chevalier d’Eon, a historical figure shrouded in mystery and intrigue. Known as a spy and much more, the Chevalier’s life is a testament to self-determination and identity. However, their encounter is far from a leisurely historical tour.

Finally, Cold Vengeance by Matt Fitton takes the TARDIS crew to Coldstar, a massive freezer satellite crucial for sustaining a colony world. But beneath the icy surface, something is stirring. Cracks in the ice reveal something sinister lurking beneath the floors.
