Coming Soon: UNIT — Operation: Good Friday from Candy Jar Books

Doctor Who fans can pre-order a new short story collection featuring iconic characters from UNIT. Operation: Good Friday brings together nine stories all set on Good Friday in 1974!

The next UNIT book in Candy Jar Books’ popular range features Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, Sergeant John Benton, and Captain Turner, alongside other members of the paramilitary defence force.

Written by Tim Gambrell, Doris V Sutherland, James Hornby, Iain McLaughlin, Baz Greenland, Kara Dennison, Kenton Hall, and Tessa North, the collection includes nine new tales of cosmic peril, secret histories, and Bank Holiday chaos. Tim says:

“It’s great to bring together such a fantastic collection of UNIT stories. Good Friday 1974 allows us to explore a particularly eventful period for the organisation, with some familiar faces facing some decidedly unfamiliar dangers.”

There is a bonus for readers, too. Alongside Operation: Good Friday, purchasers will receive the second Dominators! book, The Grandfather Initiative by John Peel, as well as a free postcard.

Meanwhile, Lethbridge-Stewart fans have more to look forward to with new editions of The Havoc Files 1 and The Havoc Files 4, both of which are due to go to print over the next few weeks. Readers who have been waiting to add these collections to their bookshelves can pre-order their copies now.

Shaun Russell, Head of Publishing at Candy Jar Books, says:

“It’s a really exciting time for us. We have such a diverse selection of books coming together, and there’s something here for several different generations of Doctor Who fans. We’re particularly pleased to be bringing Erimem into the Lucy Wilson range, while the UNIT collections and our more unusual Doctor Who titles offer plenty for established readers, too.”

Operation: Good Friday is available to pre-order now from Candy Jar Books!
