Who fans can spend July listening to four new audiobooks. All releasing on 10th July, these new audiobooks include:
- Doctor Who: Empire of Death – This new novelisation of a recent TV adventure sees the Doctor and Ruby uncover deeper mysteries when they enlist UNIT in a search for an enigmatic woman who keeps appearing throughout time and space. This adventure is read by Susan Twist, who has played the role of many characters in Doctor Who over the years, but most recently played Susan Triad in The Legend of Ruby Sunday.
- Doctor Who: The Robot Revolution – When Belinda Chandra grew up longing to travel to far off places, she never imagined she would be kidnapped by killer robots and taken to an alien world. Belinda must work with the Doctor to put things right. This novelisation of a recent TV adventure is read by Varada Sethu who played Belinda in the TV series.
- Doctor Who: Lux – Another new novelisation of a recent TV adventure has Dan Starkey reading this tale, where a trip to 1950s Miami leaves the Doctor and Belinda at the mercy of the cartoon character, Mr. Ring-a-Ding.
- Doctor Who: The Well – The Doctor and Belinda help a military rescue party on a mission to an isolated mining colony. When only one survivor is found the Doctor must work out what killed the other colonists and why every mirror is smashed. This new novelisation of an episode of Doctor Who is read by Caoilfhionn Dunne who played Shaya Costallion in the episode.
August releases include Doctor Who: What Still Remains, a new adventure for the Seventh Doctor and Ace. This new adventure finds the TARDIS, the Doctor and Ace trapped by the time displacement, but what is the secret of the tiny spinning artefact, where have the base’s personnel vanished to and what is lurking in the shadows? So many questions to answer and so little time to answer them in. This audiobook is read by Sophie Aldred, who played Ace in the series.
This August also sees the arrival of a bumper collection of vintage stories from the pages of Doctor Who Annual, featuring the first six Doctors and their companions.
Finally, September brings a collection of stories titled Doctor Who: 1001 Nights in Time and Space, and Doctor Who and the Loch Ness Monster, the novelisation of a classic episode from the time of the Fourth Doctor. This episode saw the Doctor summoned to the shores of Loch Ness as a third oil rig is smashed apart by a mysterious force.
