Independence Day is a BBC Books original novel written by Peter Darvill-Evans and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Seventh Doctor and Ace.

Contents

Synopsis

The Doctor wishes to return a communications device he had borrowed from the Mendeb system years ago. Being a time lord, he reasons he can put it back before nobody notices anything is wrong. However, when he arrives he comes to believe he is far too late to fix things; an invasion seems to have resulted because of his actions.

Continuity

  • The book also features a brief appearance by the Second Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon, however they do not interact in person with the Seventh Doctor or Ace.
  • Ace almost leaves the Doctor towards the end of this novel. She would eventually leave the Doctor first in the novel Love and War, and again later in Set Piece.
