Template:Doctorwhobook Cold Fusion is an original novel written by Lance Parkin and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Fifth Doctor, with Adric, Nyssa, and Tegan, immediately after Castrovalva. Also appearing is the Seventh Doctor, with Chris and Roz, from between the Virgin New Adventures novels Return of the Living Dad and The Death of Art. It was the only one of the Virgin Doctor Who novels to feature more than one Doctor.

Notes

The story deliberately contrasts the fifth Doctors and the characterisation of the seventh Doctors in the Virgin New Adventures.

In an interview for the BBC, in discussing Cold Fusion, Parkin described the character of Adric as "hopeless with Davison".

Cold Fusion includes many references to the Cartmel Masterplan which would be more fully explored in Lungbarrow.WP:SYNTHESIS

Names in the book are very similar to those of the main characters (and the actors) in the BBC comedy Terry and June, so the book includes a Medford, a Whitfield, a Scott, and a Terry and June.

Reception

Readers of Doctor Who Magazine gave the novel a rating of 76.69% (from 845 votes).
