The Sands of Time is a Virgin Missing Adventures original novel written by Justin Richards based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan. Like all spin-off media, its canonicity in relation to the television series is unclear. The story is a sequel to the 1975 Fourth Doctor Pyramids of Mars and once again features the Osirans.
