SIGNET: Night of the Yssgaroth The first in a new series of books from the worlds of Doctor Who. SIGNET follows a privately funded organisation fighting alien incursions and investigating the supernatural. "Heart is at the core of SIGNET," explains SIGNET creator and range editor James Hornby. "Most organisations we've seen in this world combat threats to humanity with prejudice. But are they always in the right? SIGNET looks out for the little guy, whether that be someone under the threat of invasion, or a stranded alien looking for a home." The first book in the series, Night of the Yssgaroth, sees our introduction to the team as they combat an ancient threat, first seen in Doctor Who: The Pit. "Xana is a fugitive on the run. Desperation takes her to Earth, the galaxy’s fabled sanctuary. But when a primordial entity begins to emerge, nowhere is safe. She crosses paths with SIGNET, a freelance organisation offering refuge to aliens and humans under threat. To survive she must place her trust in SIGNET, but for Xana trust has never come easy. Can she learn to overcome the trauma of her past, or will the Yssgaroth take them all?" The book also features two short stories, including Hervoken Halloween, which sees the return of the Hervoken from Doctor Who: Forever Autumn. Hervoken Halloween is also as a free pdf on the Arcbeatle Press website. More releases are to follow, featuring works from popular Doctor Who writers such as John Peel and David A. McIntee.

It's obviously a week for spinoffs, what with the "Greatest Show in the Galaxy" musical reunion. But, tsk. They're all really letting the side down by getting permission first....

Hang on, "featuring works from popular Doctor Who writers", and their first book is a spinoff of The Pit?! Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of love for that book, but still...
