The Doctor is concerned to find mysterious meteors appearing in the sky, while strange robotic creatures crowd the forests, watching everything and waiting for ... what?

Ruby Red by Georgia Cook
"What a coming-of-age ritual: throw a 16-year-old warrior at some random galactic battle. Then give them a high five and their own sword if they survive."
April, 1242: the Doctor and Ruby answer a distress call sent from medieval Russia. The signal's sender? Ranavere, an alien girl forced to take part in a barbaric conflict between the armies of Estonia and Novgorod on the frozen surface of Lake Peipus.
Ranavere wants to escape, but her distress call has summoned her warmongering sisters, intent on preserving the family tradition whatever the cost. And as human battle begins, the Doctor and Ruby must face a more devastating threat - a monstrous entity with plans of conquest, growing stronger beneath the icy lake...

Fear Death by Water by Emily Cook
"THIS STORM IN AN OMEN. A BEAST IS RISING FROM THE DEEP. THE OCEAN WILL CONSUME US ALL. FEAR DEATH BY WATER."
Northumberland, 1838: The TARDIS crash lands on board a sinking steamship. Stranded, the Doctor and the few survivors fight for their lives - while the local lighthouse keeper's daughter, Grace Darling, risks her life to row to their rescue.
Lauded a heroine, Grace struggles to cope with her new-found fame. But the Doctor senses something else is troubling Grace. She's been tormented by the terrifying vision she saw out at sea in the storm. There's a monster in her mind, wrecking ships and stealing the souls of the drowned.
And it's real.
Spectral Scream by Hannah Fergesen
"A PIERCING SHRIEK RUPTURED THE SILENCE. THE AGONISED HOWL OF A CREATURE IN DEEP, SHATTERING, PAIN. THAT HAUNTING SPECTRAL SCREAM."
When a psychic shriek for help nearly overwhelms the TARDIS, the Doctor and Belinda track the source to a distant planet. There they find a sentient, telepathic bioship named Adama and ragged colonists descended from the original crew. Adama is dying, and their spectral screams are growing strong enough to kill anyone in the vicinity.
When Adama crashed 100 years ago, it was with a great treasure on board, stolen from the ruthless Gangnax Imperium - technology that could either unite worlds or destroy them. If they are to save the bioship, the Doctor and Belinda must survive suspicious colonists, greedy bounty hunters and military forces determined to reclaim what's theirs - before Adama's final death throes destroy them all.
