"The Eyeless" is a BBC Books original novel written by Lance Parkin and based on the long running science fiction television series "Doctor Who". It features the Tenth Doctor. It will be published in December 2008, alongside "Beautiful Chaos" and "The Story of Martha". This is the first of the New Series Adventures to feature the Doctor without any companions.

Like all Doctor Who spin-off media, the way the plot fits in to the ongoing story of television series is open to interpretation (see New Series Adventures Canonicity for more details). It is possible that this novel will take place after Series 4 as Catherine Tate has said Donna will not appear in the 2009 Specials and no other companions have been announced to take her place. Another possible "companion-less" gap is between "Voyage of the Damned" and "Partners in Crime."

Plot

At the heart of the ruined city of Arcopolis is the Fortress. It's a brutal structure placed here by one of the sides in a devastating intergalactic war that's long ended. Fifteen years ago, the entire population of the planet was killed in an instant by the weapon housed deep in the heart of the Fortress. Now only the ghosts remain.

The Doctor arrives, and determines to fight his way past the Fortress's automatic defences and put the weapon beyond use. But he soon discovers he's not the only person in Arcopolis. What is the true nature of the weapon? Is the planet really haunted? Who are the Eyeless? And what will happen if they get to the weapon before the Doctor?

The Doctor has a fight on his hands. And this time he's all on his own.
