The Adventures of K9 #1
K-9 and the Time Trap
The Adventures of K9 — No. 1
The entire Seventh Fleet has disappeared. The Commander says it is impossible. K9 says that is only because the human mind cannot understand it. At just under the speed of light, he takes off across the deep starless gulf between the galaxies on another dangerous mission. He uses a battlecruiser as his bait — but first he must find the trap...
K9, the amazing robot dog already known to millions through his star appearances in the Doctor Who T.V. series, now features in an exciting set of books of his own. The other K9 books available include:
K9 and the Zeta Rescue
K9 and the Beasts of Vega
K9 and the Missing Planet

Heh, that was a bit of fun, weirdly this kid's book seems to follow on from The Invasion of Time and The Three Doctors (assuming the Gallifreyan scientist Omegon is some relation of the Gallifreyan scientist Omega...)
Quick, fun read with some awesome illustrations

The first of the books is the most interesting from a continuity point of view. K9, investigating some mysterious spaceship disappearances, allows himself to be caught by the eponymous Time Trap and is transported to "an immense museum of space exploration, with craft from every civilisation ever to have leapt the stars." The proprietor of this museum turns out to be a bloke in a funny helmet called Omegon, who says that he has met K9's Master, reveals that he was once a Time Lord but was betrayed, and indeed "He had been a great engineer. It was he who had created the system that gave the Time Lords time-travel. 'I harnessed the power of a thousand suns for them,' he said. 'They made me emperor - then plotted to destroy me, and marooned me here! They think I am trapped in this crimson bubble of time,' roared Omegon, 'but soon I shall have my revenge!'" K9 deals with him pretty rapidly after that, but it's obvious who Omegon is meant to be, especially considering who wrote The Three Doctors.
