The Indigo Child

UNIT. Humanity’s first and best line of defence against a hostile universe. No matter where. No matter when.

1. Rise of the Valiant by Andrew Smith
2008. The Earth has been stolen and planets fill the sky.

With the Doctor otherwise engaged, it falls to UNIT's finest - Colonel Mace, Harry Sullivan, and the retired Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart - to take the fight back to the Daleks. Because deep in the Brazilian rainforest, a secret weapon with a familiar name is waiting. And it's ready to fly.

2. The Indigo Child by Ken Bentley
2017. UNIT has been shut down, its heroes targeted.

After an attempt on her life, Kate Stewart fights from the shadows, doing what she can to protect the people of Great Britain. Reunited with Petronella Osgood, Kate goes undercover to save a child refugee with psychic powers. It's a race against time, and a new enemy is determined to win.

3. The Life and Death of Private Eddie Wise by Hannah Kennedy
The dawn of UNIT. Aliens have invaded and Eddie Wise is far from ready. Plagued by nightmares and lying to his fiancé, the beleaguered Eddie becomes embroiled in a plot to bring his workplace to its knees. To make matters worse, there's a journalist on his tail.

Because Sarah Jane Smith needs the scoop on UNIT, and Private Wise might just be the man she needs.

Sound Design: Andy Hardwick, Music: David Roocroft, Director: Jonathan S Powell

4. Deadstar by Joshua Pruett and Jonathan S Powell
2023. The Toymaker has been vanquished and UNIT stands tall.

But when a cutting-edge telescope is brought online, the UNIT skyscraper is plunged into lockdown. Besieged by an impossible foe, Melanie Bush and new recruit Dr Isla Ellis need all their wits to survive. Because the stars have woken up, and something is very wrong with the Vlinx.

Sound Design: Thea Cochrane, Music: Borna Matosic, Director: Helen Goldwyn
