'Lethbridge-Stewart was a series of novels and short stories published by Candy Jar Books beginning in 2015, overseen by editor/author Andy Frankham-Allen, and co-edited by Shaun Russell, Hayley Cox, Will Rees and Lauren Thomas. They starred recurring Doctor Who character Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart and co-starred Anne Travers.
'The stories bridged the gap between The Web of Fear and The Invasion. They were not licensed by the BBC but by Henry Lincoln and the Mervyn Haisman estate, the copyright holders for the character. They included various elements of other Doctor Who stories, by agreement/license of the original authors, such as Terrance Dicks, who wrote Horror of Fang Rock, and Gary Russell, who created the Vault in The Scales of Injustice.
'The series built up a new team around Lethbridge-Stewart and Anne Travers, including William Bishop, Samson Ware, and Walter Douglas. It also featured recurring characters, both Harold Chorley and Private Evans come from The Web of Fear, while new characters are added to the roster; of note are Sally Wright, Lethbridge-Stewart's fiancee, Owain Vine, Lethbridge-Stewart's nephew, and Oliver Hamilton.'
