Two new Doctor Who books feature further adventures for Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor — and they’re available right now!
Many fans feel we’ve barely got any time with this incarnation of the Time Lord after his perhaps-a-surprise-perhaps-not regeneration at the end of The Reality War, the last episode of the most recent season of the show. While there’s not been a wealth of additional material with the Fifteenth Doctor, you can now at least enjoy a couple more stories, one of which also sees the novel debut of his latest companion, Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu).
Fear Death by Water is written by Emily Cook while Spectral Scream is by Hannah Fergesen.

Fear Death by Water
By Emily Cook
Northumberland, 1838. The TARDIS crash lands on board a sinking steamship. Stranded, the Doctor and the few survivors fight for their lives – while the local lighthouse keeper’s daughter, Grace Darling, risks her life to row to their rescue.
Lauded a heroine, Grace struggles to cope with her new-found fame. But the Doctor senses something else is troubling Grace. She’s been tormented by the terrifying vision she saw out at sea in the storm. There’s a monster in her mind, wrecking ships and stealing the souls of the drowned.
Spectral Scream
By Hannah Fergesen
When a psychic shriek for help nearly overwhelms the TARDIS, the Doctor and Belinda track the source to a distant planet. There they find a sentient, telepathic bioship named Adama and ragged colonists descended from the original crew. Adama is dying, and their spectral screams are growing strong enough to kill anyone in the vicinity.
When Adama crashed 100 years ago, it was with a great treasure on board, stolen from the ruthless Gangnax Imperium – technology that could either unite worlds or destroy them. If they are to save the bioship, the Doctor and Belinda must survive suspicious colonists, greedy bounty hunters and military forces determined to reclaim what’s theirs – before Adama’s final death throes destroy them all.
Fear Death by Water and Spectral Scream are both out now.
