Doctor Who: The Key to Time



A special one-volume edition of the six Target novelisations from Season 16 of Doctor Who, collectively known as The Key to Time – with new versions of The Armageddon Factor, The Ribos Operation, and The Power of Kroll, and a foreword from the Fourth Doctor, Tom Baker.

Six segments. One quest. The fate of the universe at stake.

For the first time, all six stories in Doctor Who’s epic Key to Time saga come together in a single collection – featuring THREE brand new novelisations!

The White Guardian has a mission for the Doctor: locate the six segments of the legendary Key to Time before the cosmos falls to chaos. Accompanied by the brilliant but inexperienced Time Lady Romana, the Doctor embarks on a series of incredible adventures…

The Ribos Operation by James Goss (exclusive to this edition!)
The search begins on the medieval world of Ribos, where conmen and conspiracies complicate the quest.

The Pirate Planet by James Goss
A world-devouring planet ruled by a bombastic cyborg captain hides a terrible secret.

The Stones of Blood by David Fisher
Ancient stone circles, druidic legends and justice from another dimension collide on present-day Earth.

The Androids of Tara by David Fisher
On a feudal world with a twist, the Doctor and Romana are entangled in a plot of android doubles and royal assassinations.

The Power of Kroll by Robert Shearman (exclusive to this edition!)
In the swamps of Delta Magna, colonial politics and native rebellion awaken an ancient and monstrous god.

The Armageddon Factor by James Goss (exclusive to this edition!)
On the war-ravaged planet Atrios, the true nature of the Key to Time is revealed. Will the final segment bring salvation to the universe – or disaster?
