Doctor Who: Icons is a tie-in book series that pairs the Doctor with real historical figures for standalone adventures. The concept lets each author pick a historical icon and build a story around the meeting. Tade Thompson’s involvement in the series fits with his broader interest in mixing speculative fiction with real-world history and culture. Other authors also contribute to the line, with each book working as an independent entry.
The series launched in 2024 with Charles Darwin and the Silurian Survival and Frida Kahlo and the Skull Children. 2025 brought Shirley Jackson and the Chaos Box and One Night Only. The historical pairings give each book a different flavor, and the series should appeal to Doctor Who fans looking for something outside the usual television tie-in format.
