Warriors' Gate
In this new-to-print, expanded novelisation of the classic 1981 adventure, the TARDIS is caught in a collapsing void between two different universes - and the 4th Doctor, Romana and Adric must enter into a dangerous alliance with the Tharils - a race of enslaved, time-sensitive aliens. The consequences are explored in two further short stories...
The Kairos Ring
Now allies of the enslaved across all creation, Romana and the Tharil Laszlo ride the time winds in search of the sinister Sluagh - aliens who retool the dead as deadly warriors.
The Little Book of Fate
Searching for the source of a scream across time, the Eighth Doctor investigates a most unusual carnival freak show in the north of England - where a figure from his past awaits him.

== Writing and publishing notes ==
* The main story of this anthology, Warriors' Gate, was originally a direct-to-audio novelisation based on the 1981 television serial of the same name. It was written by Steve Gallagher (under the name John Lydecker) based on the original paperwork for his original 1982 novelisation, which had been significantly reworked prior to publication, according to DWM 533. This anthology saw this audio story moved to print, with little to no differences from the audio counterpart.
