Everyone at Kasterborous is excited about the upcoming Lethbridge-Stewart novel series, helmed by Andy Frankham-Allen – so much so, we talked to him in our podKast! And it seems we’re not the only ones to be enthused…

The WHO Shop, London, is holding a special day celebrating UNIT and launching the new series, with a wonderful selection of guests from across Doctor Who.

Andy Frankham-Allen will be there to sign the first book in the series, The Forgotten Son, set shortly after The Web of Fear. He’ll be joined by Hannah Haisman, granddaughter of Mervyn Haisman (co-creator of the Great Intelligence), and licencor of the Lethbridge-Stewart series; and Official Doctor Who Legend, Terrance Dicks. Dicks, of course, was Script Editor throughout the Third Doctor era, and wrote over 60 Who books – most of which are Target novels. And yes, he also wrote the Target novelisation of The Web of Fear!

Jemma Redgrave, too, will be at the launch: since 2012’s The Power of Three, she’s played Kate Stewart, the Brigadier’s daughter, cropping up in the 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor, and most recently, Dark Water/ Death in Heaven (2014).

Further authors of the range will also be popping into The WHO Shop during their UNIT Day: David A. McIntee, writer of The Schizoid Earth; Nick Walters, who rounds off the first bundle of books with Mutually Assured Domination; and Jonathan Cooper.

The launch day of Lethbridge-Stewart is at The WHO Shop on Saturday 28th February, or you can order a signed copy of The Forgotten Son, priced £8.99.
