Candy Jar Books Announces New Editions of Two Popular Doctor Who-Related Books

Candy Jar Books has announced two new revised editions of popular short story collections in its Lethbridge-Stewart line.

After receiving countless requests to bring the two books back into print, The Havoc Files 1 and 4 are returning, but with even more havoc than before: that’s because, alongside all the original stories from the respective volumes, each book contains two brand-new stories, making these far more than simple reprints. Both books further feature new covers by Richard Young, giving these classic collections a fresh new look.

Whether you missed them the first time around or want to revisit the adventures, there’s plenty that’s new waiting inside.

The Havoc Files 1 now also includes the stories The Marked Town by Courtney Milnestein and Sweaty Flow by Iain McLaughlin while The Havoc Files 4 includes Tarnished Uppers and Scuffed Soles by Tim Gambrell and A Country Mile, also by McLaughlin.

The Havoc Files Revised Edition

The first half of 1969, was a busy time for Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart. Not only did he encounter the Great Intelligence more than once, and the Dominators and Quarks, he visited an alternative reality, and encountered ghosts on Fang Rock. But that was only the start!

Did you hear about his transfer from Libya? Or the mysterious Cult of the Grinning Man? What about the alien spheres at Christmas? Then perhaps the bunker under London?

If not, then this book is for you.
