The various parties who are telling the tale of Doom’s Day have released details of the saga.

Fans will follow Doom’s Day as she travels through all of time and space in pursuit of the Doctor to save her from the ever-approaching Death. She only has 24 hours and a vortex manipulator to save herself before her fate is sealed forever.

Sooz Kempner is the face and voice of Doom, and a number of familiar characters will feature along her journey.

Doom’s story begins on 5 June on the Doom’s Day website and Doctor Who digital channels with the story’s first one-hour adventure, followed by the next four hours of Doom’s final day in Doctor Who magazine from 22 June. Titan Comics, East Side Games, Penguin Random House, BBC Audio and Big Finish then countdown as Doom’s search for the Doctor continues before the final instalment on Doctor Who digital channels in September.

The releases are:

Extraction Point
By MG Harris
PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE, August 10.
It’s the Doctor’s universe.
24 hours to find them.
24 hours to escape death.

1100-1400: The finest time-traveling assassin in the cosmos is running scared. Doom’s own death is coming for her in a matter of hours. And the only person in the universe who might just be able to save her is the Doctor – so long as it’s the right Doctor.

But as Doom searches for aid, the hits keep coming in. Kill a crabby Kraal and his replica world! Assassinate a ghost on Satellite Five! Eliminate a living asteroid! Doom finds her talents – and patience – stretched to breaking point.

But these apparently random jobs are linked in a way Doom could never imagine. And when not one but TWO different Doctors get involved on the trail of an old enemy, the ensuing fireworks might just end the lives of billions. Can Doom solve the mystery before her allotted hours are up? It’s not only a planet she must save from destruction, but herself…

By Darren Jones

Along the way she meets former TARDIS travellers Ian and Barbara, the mighty Ice Warriors, and Brian the Ood. But when a mysterious stranger with silver hair and sunglasses turns up, will he be Doom’s salvation?

THE CROWD by Lizzie Hopley: “Follow the crowd,” that’s what they say, right? In this case, however, devastation, murder, and destruction follow this particular Crowd – Doom’s next target. But amongst them – an unfamiliar face with a familiar name. Could this be Doom’s salvation?
