The Heart of Mars

The Lora Trilogy was a series of Sci-fi prose stories written by Paul Magrs. The series was a Doctor Who spin-off, prominently featuring the servo-furnishings Toaster and Barbra, who made their debut in Magrs' Tenth Doctor novel Sick Building. Although Iris Wildthyme herself never appeared, Celestial Omnibuses appeared across the trilogy as a form of spaceship used in the 19th century, hinting at an alternative origin story for Iris's ship.

The series included the trilogy of novels Lost on Mars, The Martian Girl and The Heart of Mars, as well as the short story The Everlasting Match Girl.
