- Hold Your Horses, written by Nicholas Pegg, illustrated by Jon Haward & Nigel Dobbyn.
Plus there's a comic strip, The Immortal Emperor, written by Jonathan Morris with art by Rob Davis, and A Letter from the Doctor, as told to new showrunner Steven Moffat (The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, The Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead).
The 80-page hardback also features a new painted cover by Alister Pearson and a frontispiece by David A Roach. Published by Panini Books and edited by Clayton Hickman, The Doctor Who Storybook 2009 will be available in August, priced £7.99.
