On 29 May, BBC Books will be releasing a pair of new Doctor Who novels featuring Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor.

Set in Northumberland in 1838, Emily Cook’s Fear Death By Water sees the TARDIS landing on-board a sinking steamship. Stranded, the Doctor and the survivors fight for their lives – while the local lighthouse keeper’s daughter, Grace Darling (a real historical figure), risks her life to row to their rescue.

Silent Shriek, meanwhile, features new companion Belinda Chandra. After the Doctor tracks the source of a psychic shriek for help a distant planet, the TARDIS duo find a sentient, telepathic bioship and ragged colonists descended from the original crew. The bioship is dying, and their spectral screams are growing strong enough to kill anyone in the vicinity.
