Three Doctor Who revival episodes, Aliens of London, The Satan Pit and The Time of Angels, have been novelised for Target Books for a March 2026 release.
Aliens of London
First broadcast on 16 April 2005, the Series 1 story written by Russell T Davies and starring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose, is novelised by playwright and screenwriter Joseph Lidster.
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.
The Satan Pit
First broadcast on 10 June 2006, the Series 2 story starring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose, is novelised by the screenwriter Matt Jones.
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?
The Time of Angels
First broadcast on 24 April 2010, the Series 5 story written by Steven Moffat and starring Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, Karen Gillan as Amy Pond and Alex Kingston as River Song, is novelised by bestselling author Jenny T Colgan.
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.
The Aliens of London, The Satan Pit and The Time of Angels Target novelisations are available to pre-order for a 26 March 2026 release.
