Covers and Blurbs Revealed for Three New Doctor Who Target Novelisations

The covers and blurbs for three upcoming Target Doctor Who novelisations, featuring the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Doctors, have been unveiled.

Aliens of London, The Satan Pit, and The Time of Angels are due out on 26th March 2026, the anniversary of Rose, when Doctor Who returned to TV in 2005.

If you click on the titles of each book, you can pre-order from Amazon; anything you buy via that link, we’ll get a small percentage that goes to help towards hosting fees for the site. You won’t be charged anything extra and we can’t see anything else you buy — every little bit does help, so thank you for your support!

Aliens of London

The Doctor brings Rose home a year after she left… to find London in chaos. A spaceship has crashed into the Thames and an alien body lies in the wreckage. The Doctor uncovers a chilling conspiracy at the heart of Downing Street as ruthless alien invaders take control – members of the Family Slitheen.

The Doctor, Rose, and the MP for Flydale North must fight to expose the Slitheen infiltration – before the Earth falls prey to a deadly interstellar con that will ignite World War Three.

Starring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose, Russell T Davies’s blockbuster action-adventure was the first two-part story of the modern series in 2005. It is novelised by playwright and screenwriter Joseph Lidster.

The Satan Pit

The Doctor and Rose travel to Krop Tor – an impossible planet orbiting a black hole, defying the laws of physics. With the TARDIS lost to them, trapped with a crew of human explorers and their alien servants, the Ood, they find ancient ruins… and something far older and darker stirring beneath the surface.

Whispers speak of a malevolent force imprisoned since before time – something that even the Doctor fears. As seismic horrors rise and minds begin to fracture, one terrifying question remains: What if the Devil is real?

Screenwriter Matt Jones presents an inspired and novel retelling of his own two-part adventure from David Tennant’s first season as the Tenth Doctor, also starring Billie Piper as Rose.

The Time of Angels

An improbable call for help from River Song draws the Doctor and Amy to the wreck of the starship Byzantium on the world of Alfava Metraxis. The wreck contains a deadly cargo – a Weeping Angel, determined to escape. And the starship’s crash site, infringing on a sprawling subterranean tomb, is no coincidence.

In uneasy alliance with a squad of military clerics, the Doctor’s investigation becomes a desperate battle to survive as an army of implacable, quantum-locked killers grows ever stronger – and flesh becomes stone.

Bestselling author Jenny T Colgan novelises Steven Moffat’s classic two-part SF thriller from 2010, starring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and Alex Kingston as River Song.

You can pre-order Aliens of London, The Satan Pit, and The Time of Angels, each with an RRP of £9.99, now from Amazon and other retailers.
