The New Adventures were a spin-off from the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

The cover features a Martian canal, a reference to a popular trope in science fiction stories and art about Mars.[1]

Writing

Mark Clapham explained, "Lance [Parkin] asked me [to co-write it]. He wanted to write for the Benny range, but didn't want to write a whole one. I had this murder plot I wanted to do, and he wanted to write a book about Mars."[2]

Plot

The novel is set on Mars and draws on previous depictions of the planet in the New Adventures.
