Plague of the Cybermen is an original novel featuring the Eleventh Doctor.
Released in April 2013.
Written by Justin Richards who revealed on Twitter that the character of Lord Ernhardt is the form of Peter Cushing who played Dr Who in the 1960s Dalek movies.
The Doctor is travelling on her own and it seems this takes place prior to him meeting modern day Clara in The Bells of Saint John.
As it says in the title, the Cybermen are featured here and the Doctor meets them in the small village of Kilmtenburg where its inhabitants refer to them as Plague Warriors.
Standing in as a companion here is local schoolteacher Olga. It is interesting that she teaches her class in the living room of her house.
Olga does not make a bad one-off companion here.
Richards makes good use of the Cybermen as the menace at this small village.
A particular highlight is a certain revelation about Lady Ernhardt as that revelation was brought out well.
