War Doctor to Appear in Novel

John Hurt's War Doctor is to appear in a book by George Mann later this year. The book, Engines of War, is set during the Time War. According to Doctor Who Magazine

It’s a war story, at its heart, set against the backdrop of great turmoil and chaos. But it’s also about the Doctor’s personal journey, how he ends up where he is at the beginning of The Day of the Doctor. He’s been through the wringer; and in Engines of War, he’s not given any reprieve.

Mann has also written Paradox Lost, the Newberry & Hobbes series, and various novellas and short stories.

The hardback edition of the book will be released on July 31st, priced £12.99
