National treasure Sheridan Smith returns to the role of Lucie
Miller in these four new adventures with the Eighth Doctor! 1. The
Dalek Trap by Nicholas Briggs. The thing about black holes is,
they’re big and they’re black and they’re deadly, and you’d
have to be mad to go anywhere near them. Because anything that
falls inside a black hole ends up crushed in the singularity.
Unfortunately, the Doctor just went mad, or so it seems, and flew
his TARDIS beyond a black hole’s event horizon, causing him and
his companion Lucie Miller to end up marooned on a planetoid just
inside the event horizon. Along with a Dalek saucer… and
something else. Because this is no ordinary black hole… This is
the Cradle of the Darkness. 2. The Revolution Game by Alice
Cavender. It’s Lucie’s birthday, and her birthday treat awaits.
But whatever she’s expecting, it’s not what she’s getting on
the colony world of Castus Sigma in the year 3025: ringside seats
for the interplanetary Retro Roller Derby – sponsored by
Heliacorp, “turning sunlight into gold”! It’s more than just
a game, though. For the competitors, it’s a matter of life or
death – a New Life with Heliacorp, or a living death on Castus
Sigma. Or, on this fateful day, a very actual death. Because there
are strange creatures living out on the plain, beyond the colony.
Creatures with every reason to want to sabotage the games.
Creatures with a grudge. 3. The House on the Edge of Chaos by Eddie
Robson. The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Lucie to a vast house on
the planet known as Horton’s Orb. The only house on Horton’s
Orb, in fact. Outside its outsized windows there’s nothing. No
land. No sea. No sky. No life. Just an endless expanse of static.
Inside the house, there’s an upstairs and a downstairs –
servants below, gentlefolk from the finest of the house’s
families above. Alas, there are altogether too few eligible ladies
on the upper floors these days. Meaning there’s a vacancy for
Miss Lucie Miller, single and unattached…Outside the house, the
static howls on. Except now, the static wants to get in. 4. Island
of the Fendahl by Alan Barnes. The Fendahl is the death of
evolution, the horror that lies in wait at the far end of the food
chain. The Fendahl is death itself. And the Fendahl is dead. The
Doctor destroyed it many years ago, in another incarnation, when he
encountered it in a place called Fetchborough. But if the Fendahl
is dead… how can it live again, on the remote island of Fandor?

Four stories set in the Eleventh Doctor era narrated by Jacob
Dudman, giving voice to the much-loved Eleventh Doctor as played on
TV by Matt Smith. 1.The Calendar Man by AK Benedict. Answering a
cry for help, the Doctor and Amy arrive on a misty colony world –
but nobody thinks anything is wrong. Nobody, except for one young
woman, hiding in shadows and scribbling in her notebook. Soon, Amy
is on the trail of missing colonists, while the Doctor strides into
the fog in search of a fairy-tale. But time is running out, and the
Calendar Man is flicking through the pages of their lives. 2.The
Top of the Tree by Simon Guerrier. On one of their annual jaunts,
young Kazran Sardick and the Doctor find themselves in trouble when
the TARDIS is tangled in the branches of a very strange, very large
tree. They emerge into a habitat where myriad species fight for
survival: an ecosystem of deadly flora and fauna, along with a
tribe of primitive humans.This is a mystery which can only be
solved by climbing. But what will they find at the top of the tree?
3. The Light Keepers by Roy Gill. Dorium Maldovar has a problem.
The self-styled `Beacon People’ are bad for business, and now
they’re in his shuttle park, digging for mysterious minerals.
When the Doctor crashes into his life once again, Dorium enlists
him to find out what these scavengers are really up to inside their
lighthouse. But a lighthouse signals danger – and this beacon was
placed to warn of something more ancient and powerful than anyone
knows. Something that is returning. 4.False Coronets by Alice
Cavender. On the trail of a temporal anomaly, the Doctor and Clara
arrive in a London dungeon, where an unlikely prisoner awaits her
execution. This is a 19th Century England where the King has been
dethroned, and Republicans bearing false coronets hold sway. While
the Doctor seeks out the source of alien interference in the
timelines, Clara recruits some local help – and gets invited to a
party.History has gone awry, and Jane Austen must help rewrite it.
