Faction Paradox

The series is named after a group originally created by author Lawrence Miles for BBC Books' Doctor Who novels.

(Justine had previously featured in the BBC novel Alien Bodies, and Eliza appeared in Dead Romance as "Christine Summerfield".)

The first two stories were set in the Eleven-Day Empire; the second two in 18th century London; and the last two were split between Justine's pre-Faction past and the Great Houses' prison facility.

[4] Lawrence Miles said of these productions, 'I no longer have full control over the copyright, but I strongly recommend that you don't buy any Faction Paradox material from BBV.

[6][7] In 2002 Mad Norwegian Press published a multi-author faux-encyclopedia to the first 50 years of the War in Heaven, edited by Faction Paradox creator Lawrence Miles, as a companion to the BBV audios.

After the success of The Book of the War, Mad Norwegian began publishing a Faction Paradox series of novels set in the same universe.

These novels roam the ongoing War in Heaven; despite the series' name, the Faction and its members are not the focus, sometimes featuring only as minor characters, and sometimes not appearing at all.

Mad Norwegian also republished the Virgin New Adventures novel Dead Romance as part of their Faction Paradox line in 2003.

The dramas in the series, released between 2005 and 2009, have featured guest stars including Julian Glover, Peter Miles, Philip Madoc and Gabriel Woolf.

[16] In June 2010, Obverse Books acquired a license to produce collections of Faction Paradox short stories and longer fiction.
