Dancing the Code is an original novel written by Paul Leonard and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

It takes place before the Virgin Missing Adventure Speed of Flight, also by Paul Leonard.

The Doctor has built a machine designed to predict the future, and it shows the Brigadier murdering him and Jo.

Jo is sent to the war-ravaged Arab nation of Kebiria, but upon arrival, she is immediately arrested and sent to a brutal political prison.

And that's not all: deep in the North African desert, an alien infestation is rapidly growing and threatens to overrun the entire planet.
