New Doctor Who 'Target' style novelisations on the way

By Cameron McEwan

April sees a whole new range of novelisations of Doctor Who television episodes in the style of the classic 'Target' book range.

The five new releases see the debut Doctor Who novelisations from former Doctor Who showrunners Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat. The books are also the first novelisations of the show's post-2005 era.

During the 'classic' era of Doctor Who, Target novelisations of episodes were regularly released with almost every story being adapted. For three decades this series of books delighted Whovians with exciting adventures and iconic cover artwork.

Check out the details and cover art below.

She’s about to meet the only man who understands the true nature of the threat facing Earth, a stranger who will open her eyes to all the wonder and terror of the universe – a traveller in time and space known as the Doctor.
