The Doctor’s adventures continue into 2026 in new books and audios
A number of new Doctor Who books and audios for the rest of this year and early 2026 have recently been announced. These include two new audiobook original adventures for the Fifteenth Doctor and Belinda from BBC Audio. There’s also a choose your own adventure style book featuring River Song in Stormcage, and an audiobook return for the Eleventh Doctor, Amy and Rory.
Perhaps most exciting of all are three new Target Books novelisations. Each adapts a two part adventure: Aliens of London/World War Three, The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit, and Time of the Angels/Flesh and Stone.
New Fifteenth Doctor audiobooks for 2025
Firefall by Beth Axford (BBC Audio) 2nd October
Michelle Asante reads an exciting new adventure for the Doctor and Belinda.
Floating high above 19th Century Earth, the Doctor and Belinda enjoy the legendary Leonids meteor shower of 1833, when the skies teemed with shooting stars. One meteor is bigger and brighter than the others and shows no sign of breaking up in the planetary atmosphere.
The travelers follow it to the village of Drummondville and begin the hunt for a fallen star.
There’s a strained atmosphere in the sleepy town, where two buildings mysteriously caught fire overnight. Belinda meets young Mary Moss, who’s harboring something extraordinary – something that must be kept safe from the other villagers.
What strange entity has landed, and how might it affect all life on Earth? The Doctor and Belinda try to broker peace between Leo and its human hosts, before things get out of control…
Michelle Asante reads Beth Axford’s sensitive tale of outsiders in search of a place to call home.
