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. The Doctor is about to uncover a crime of immense proportions, one that could lead to devastating consequences if he fails to intervene. 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. The sinister Consortium of the Obsidian Asp emerges, threatening to extinguish all life. The Doctor must rally his companions to confront this new menace while navigating the complexities of identity and historical espionage. This adventure blends historical fiction with classic Doctor Who sci-fi elements, promising a thrilling and thought-provoking narrative.
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. Rose and the Doctor find themselves amidst robots, space pirates, and even refuse collectors, an eclectic mix hinting at the unusual nature of this frozen world.
