A newly regenerated hero and a new and unusual foe from the far depths of space are the catalysts for an incredible new colour era of Doctor Who entering the 1970's on BBC One. Equally important to fans of the then seven-year running show, Spearhead from Space would have the superb distinction of launching the first of the all-new Target book range of Classic Series adaptations from 1974 onwards (Spearhead being the natural choice to launch the range properly after a trio of successful William Hartnell reprints, becoming more well known as the publishing-catchy The Auton Invasion). Leading from the front with a superb and thrilling writing/adaptation style that would delight and enthrall readers of all ages for years to come, the talents of the series then recently seat-vacated script editor Terrance Dicks would be cemented with this incredible and populist phase of his career.
Voted specially by online readers poll, the all-new Doctor Who - The Essential Terrance Dicks - Volume One (of two) brings about the first five (of ten) collected adaptations, published by BBC BOOKS. Available from August 26th, 2021. The Auton Invasion is a well deserved inclusion, for a collected book that will surely be a much-loved and rapid sell-out.
