Time Hunter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Time Hunter series of books is published by Telos Publishing Ltd. and features the characters Honoré Lechasseur and Emily Blandish from Daniel O'Mahony's Doctor Who novella The Cabinet of Light. Each novella is issued in a standard format paperback format, and a deluxe hardback edition signed by the novella's author.
[edit] Novellas
The series began with The Winning Side by Lance Parkin, following BBC Worldwide's decision not to renew Telos's licence for publishing novellas based on the Doctor Who television series.
The novellas have been published on an irregular schedule, with ten currently published and one further novella scheduled for publication. Following the publication of this eleventh novella, Telos have announced that the range will temporarily end due to poor sales. Telos promise that the final novella, Child of Time, will reveal much of the backstory of the series.

[edit] Trivia
- The covers of the standard edition Time Hunter novellas each feature a circle motif, within which the year that the majority of the action of the story takes place is printed.
- Concepts from the Time Hunter series also feature in the Doctor Who spin-off DVD drama Daemos Rising written by David J. Howe, although neither of the main characters from the book series appear in the DVD.
- Although not an officially licensed spin-off of Doctor Who, familiar characters and concepts from the programme have featured in the novellas. Aside from Honoré and Emily, the Fendahl appears in Deus Le Volt and an unnamed Ninth Doctor appears very briefly in The Albino's Dancer, although as to whether this is the character or not is very much open to the reader's interpretation.
