Tomb of Valdemar is a BBC Books original novel written by Simon Messingham and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Fourth Doctor, Romana I, and K-9.

Contents

Synopsis

The Doctor's quest to fix the Key of Time is interrupted by a complex conspiracy to bring back Valdemar, an ancient being that can change reality.

Continuity

  • The Old Ones' Palace can regenerate itself similar to the city of Exxilons in Death to the Daleks
  • The old woman who narrates the main story in a framing sequence is hinted to be a future incarnation of Romana, suggesting that she survived the destruction of Gallifrey at the end of The Ancestor Cell; or, retroactively, that it applies to audio/television canon, implying that she survived the Time War.
