Doctor Who books (fiction, nonfiction, nonfact)

[Steve Roby]

The page linked to says this is "Victor Pemberton's much-expanded novelisation of his own original script," so people who like audiobooks will get more story from this than they got from the original audio. This is the company that found they could make money by selling audio books of Target novelizations of TV episodes. People will buy this version of The Pescatons.

Is this the most redundant piece of DW merchandise ever?

An audio book of a novelisation of an audio drama...

That's almost as confusing as the Ratchet & Clank game based on the movie, which was based on the first game in the series.

There have been novelizations of movies that were adapted from novels, or at least from shorter fiction as in the case of Enemy Mine.

I'm not surprised. But it just sounds funny when you describe them that way.
I remember when John Carter came out they released a book that had both the novelization of the movie and the original Princess of Mars.
Here's the Kindle version on Amazon, the paperback appears to be out of print.

I have that. Disney/Hyperion also reprinted all 11 Barsoom novels in three omnibus trades to tie in with the film.

I outlined a Doctor Who/John Carter comic miniseries around that time, though it was based on the books and not the movie. Ice Warriors and Tharks galore!
