I’m so ridiculously excited about this 8th Doctor book that celebrates the 1990s BBC novels! I’ve already ordered from Obverse Books! Thank you All-New Adventures of the Doctor Who Book Club for promoting it on the most recent episode!!

Remember 1998? Remember The Wilderness Years? When BBC Books told the official continuing story of Doctor Who...Sam and Fitz, Compassion, Anji and Trix, Iris Wildthyme and Faction Paradox, the Council of Eight and President Romana...

Well, Stuart Douglas and Paul Magrs thought it might be nice to revisit those glorious days, so they've put together a 'little' (375 pages!) fundraiser with twenty new stories set in the EDA universe, by the likes of Jon Blum, John Peel, Colin Brake, Andrew Hunt, Mags Halliday, Gary Russell, Jonathan Morris and Philip Purser-Hallard (and many more!)

We'll be launching the book in paperback and ebook at the end of August, but in the meantime, why not pre-order a copy?
