The Second Doctor era of Doctor Who, defined by Patrick Troughton’s chaotic, clownish performance in the late 1960s, lends itself well to prose fiction. Many of the original television episodes no longer exist, so novels have long been a way for fans to explore stories from that period.

Baxter brings his scientific sensibility to the format while staying faithful to the spirit of the original show. These books are aimed at Doctor Who readers rather than hardcore hard SF fans, though Baxter’s touch is evident in how he handles the stranger concepts the series requires.
