The Dying Days
by Lance Parkin

Now available online at the BBC

6 May 1997.
The Dying Days of the Twentieth Century.

One the Mare Sirenum, British astronauts are walking on the surface of Mars for the first time in over twenty years. The National Space Museum in London is the venue for a spectacular event where the great and the good celebrate a unique British achievement.

In Adisham, Kent, the most dangerous man in Britain has escaped from custody while being transported by helicopter. In Whitehall, the new Home Secretary is convinced there is a plot brewing to overthrow the government. In west London, MI5 agents shut down a publishing company that got too close to the top secret organisation known as UNIT. And, on a state visit to Washington, the Prime Minister prepares to make a crucial speech, totally unaware that dark forces are working against him.

As the eight Doctor and Professor Bernice Summerfield discover, all these events are connected. However, soon all will be overshadowed.

This time, the Doctor is already too late.

The final New Adventure 'The Dying Days' included the following afterword:

The End
and a new beginning

The New Adventures began in 1992 with the tentative and experimental publication of the Timewyrm tetralogy. The Missing Adventures started two years later. The Dying Days and The Well-Mannered War are, respectively, the sixty-first and the thirty-third in the two series. They are also, both, the last.
Virgin Publishing Ltd and its predecessor companies have been publishing Doctor Who books, under license from the BBC, for twenty-four years. The decision to stop now wasn't ours. For all three of us the opportunity to produce original Doctor Who stories, in particular, has been the fulfillment of a lifelong ambition. We hope the books we've published have entertained more than they've irritated, and that we've contributed something worthwhile to the continuing universe that is Doctor Who. We're glad we were able to provide a forum for so many talented new authors.
This book, The Dying Days by Lance Parkin, also presages a new beginning. The meeting between the Eighth Doctor and Bernice Summerfield is a symbolic parting of the ways; but we're waving goodbye to the Doctor, not to the New Adventures.
From May 1997 onwards the New Adventures will blaze a trail into uncharted territories - with our favourite archaeologist from the twenty-sixth century leading the expedition. Don't fail to take part in this new journey of discovery: read Oh No It Isn't! by Paul Cornell, the first of the new New Adventures.
Also coming in May: Decalog 4, the first non-Doctor Who Decalog, with stories charting the rise to supreme galactic power of the Forrester family during the third millennium.
Doctors may come and Doctors may go, but with your support the New Adventures can go on forever.
