Doctor Who: The Darksmith Legacy - Titles

Multi-Platform Book Range - Full List by John Bowman
(from The Doctor Who News Page)

For those who missed the initial announcement... this article handily recaps it!

"All the titles of the forthcoming 10-part multi-platform Doctor Who book project The Darksmith Legacy have been announced. As reported earlier this month by this site, the first two books will be out in January 2009, followed by a new "episode" every month after that. Published by BBC Children's Books in association with Penguin Books, they will offer the adventure of a book serialisation, complete with cliffhangers, plus interactivity and content that is only obtainable online."

Intriguing, eh? I'm intending to follow it, though I hope the online content isn't too essential -- especially if it includes silly games, tasks, or 'point gathering' thingies, because I'm not sure I can be bothered.

There are some pretty good titles in the series, in my opinion, so I've decided to list them below.

  • The Dust of Ages by Justin Richards
  • The Graves of Mordane by Colin Brake
  • The Colour of Darkness by Richard Dungworth
  • The Depths of Despair by Justin Richards
  • The Vampire of Paris by Steve Cole
  • The Game of Death by Trevor Baxendale
  • The Planet of Oblivion by Justin Richards
  • The Picture of Emptiness by Jacqueline Rayner
  • The Art of War by Mike Tucker
  • The End of Time by Justin Richards

  • Note several authors from the Decide Your Destiny series in that list -- clearly known to Penguin and/or deemed most capable of writing for children.
