Description
I came across a pile of my old New Adventures novels a few weeks ago and fell in love with them all over again. The period over which they were produced spanned my adolescence almost perfectly, so the Doctor, Ace and Benny are the TARDIS crew I feel most nostalgic for.Uber-geek quiz: For this picture, I've modeled the police box iteration on the 3rd Doctor's TARDIS deliberately. A Left-Handed Hummingbird to the devian-tart who can explain why!

The Seventh Doctor's TARDIS crash lands in a parallel universe, & sucked into a tar-pit.
7th appropriates a TARDIS from the 3rd, in which he died, whilst battling against the Silurians (Homo Reptilia), in Blood Heat (Mortimus (The Meddling Monk) stops his regeneration).

God, Seven looks so much like Kolchak in this one!

Very nice, like the look for the 7th Doctor - more subtle than his TV look, but still distinctive.

About the same time period for me too. Ace was my pin up xD. So unappreciated these days, for me the NAs are the canon continuity.

I like to think so-- something had to have taken place between the end of Survival and the TV movie and in my mind it might as well be the novels and the audios. The Time War provides a handy get-out-of-jail-free card for continuity discrepancies.

Well, Ace had that epilogue in curse of fenric novel too. I dont listen to audios that outright ignore the NAs. Hex didnt happen. Lol.

They're not ignoring the NAs. I often set the Hex audios before the the NAs kick into high gear.

All the 'mcshane' stuff, and the sheer number of stories seem tough to fit between say...revelation and love & war. Theres no space to slot a whole companion into, unlike say Davison having some extra peri years between planet of fire and caves of androzani.

This one website has the 7th/Ace/Hex audios slated between Cat's Cradle: Time Crucible and Cat's Cradle: Warhead

Interesting. But...wouldn't that mean the Tardis is knackered for a very long time?

It doesn't get to that point until Cat's Cradle: Witch Mark when it gets infected by tir-ra-n'og protoplasim.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was infected by The Process in Times Crucible and damaged by Shonzi's ship. The cat is the Tardis' fault alert.

How have I not been aware of this until now?!? your work, I mean.

I know a lot of people who seem to like the 7th's' era due to the weirdness.

"Rememberance of the Daleks" was one of my earliest experiences with Doctor Who, and still one of my favorites. Great to see your take on Mr. McCoy and company.

"Rememberence" is one of my favourites!

The old stuff beats the new stuff for some reason. We need an older doctor to bring back the scifi 60ness od Hartnell, Pertwee and Troughton. By the way, i am ready to commission now.

Team TARDIS (1993 - 1995)! Thanks for the artwork dedication to one of my favourite Team TARDIS combinations!

Fantastic, brilliant and amazing to see.
It would be the Third Doctor's due to Ace reactivating the Third Doctor's TARDIS, from an alternate universe where the Third Doctor had died, (the novel's Blood Heat), after the Doctor's TARDIS falls into a tar pit in that story. The Doctor and co travel in this TARDIS (which for a time has a working chameleon circuit until No Future) until Happy Endings when (amongst all the other stuff) he gets his original TARDIS back.

What is it with the novels screwing around with Three's continuity? Something pretty similar happens in the Eighth Doctor Adventures. (That there was *my* adolescence).
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
It depends which novels. Some authors like Paul Magrs who wrote Verdigris (a Third Doctor novel) supposedly deliberately included references to various stories which makes it impossible to place the story.
Yes in the EDAs the Third Doctor gets his regeneration on Dust instead, but all that gets nullified.
Maybe it's because the Third Doctor is where the mythology starts (we get Gallifrey named, he goes on missions for the Time Lords etc) but it's before it gets complicated. It's also a classic era where you can mess with the continuity and it's an iconic time with a good cast of characters to change and you know they're changed. So there's Inferno with its alternate characters, then there's Blood Heat with a different set of changed alternate characters and then there's The Face of the Enemy with the Inferno setting but more different and familiar characters.

I haven't even watched one full epasoide of the 7th Doctor yet (not yet I'm working on it) let alone read any of the books..... (READ Fresian-cat's reply and looked up bloodheart) dead 3rd Doctor?!? Not a universe i want to see! who was going too (entertain) stop the Master? glad 7 blew it up.

I should imagine the Silurians put a stop to him judging by what happens to the rest of the world in Blood Heat.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Silurians happened before we even meet The Master (The 3rd Doctor i do know about)
So would the Master even go to earth now that the Doctors Gone? My veiw is he only showed up on earth was the fuck with the Doctor
So who can say The Master didn't just went on ruling things? Maybe he got the Doomsday device in the end?

I'm getting nostalgic too! Seven is one of my favorites.

If I remember correctly, the Doc lost his TARDIS (in Bloodheat?) And ended up leaving in the (dead) 3rd Doctors. I loved the NAS as well. Came at just the right time in my life for me to enjoy them

How did they work that? If the Third Doctor was dead, how did the Seventh keep existing?

As I remember (and I could be totally wrong here, it was a long time ago!) the TARDID ended up in a parallel universe where the Pertwee Doc had died. The McCoy Doc's TARDIS fell into a tar pit or something, so he hunted out the left-over TARDIS and continued his travels in that. I think...

Well done Fresian-Cat! The Sinistrist Hummingbird is yours, though mind you don't get it's feathers all over the carpet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol. Don't worry about the feathers, my cats will soon polish them off :/
I really did like this set of books. They got off to a 'hard' start, but they quickly found their feet and were pretty much unmissable for a while
