The Secret in Vault 13 will feature the Thirteenth Doctor and friends Graham, Ryan and Yasmin. The story follows the group as they embark on an incredible adventure through space and time, racing against an ancient and powerful enemy to infiltrate the Galactic Seed Vault – a treasure trove of plant specimens from across the galaxy, located at the coldest spot in the universe. At its heart lies Vault 13, and a terrible secret. The TARDIS team must reach the Vault before it’s too late…

David Solomons is thrilled to be writing stories for the Thirteenth Doctor:

“From an early age I made up my own Doctor Who stories, but I never dreamt that I’d be asked to write a novel set in the Whoniverse. If only the nine-year-old me watching the show from between his fingers could know that the big blue Police Box just paid a visit to his future. I only have one question. How do you describe the sound of the TARDIS – is it “whoop” or more of a “vworp”?’

The Secret in Vault 13 will publish in paperback, £6.99, on Thursday 1st November 2018 and is available for pre-order here (UK) and here (US).
