The Suns of Caresh is a BBC Books original novel written by Paul Saint (a pseudonym) and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

[3] SFX Magazine writer David Langford had suggested the identity of Paul Saint to be that of veteran Doctor Who author and fellow SFX writer Paul Cornell, but this was denied by Cornell himself.

In Interzone, Matt Hills writes, "The level of inventiveness on show in The Suns of Caresh is consistently stunning, down to little asides like a comment on the prevalence of emergency regeneration in Time Lord drama, and details like Saint's repeated use of the number 18.

"[4] The Suns of Caresh was also noted in the Ben Goldacre column Bad Science, following a reader recommendation of the book because "In one scene the Tardis's destination is unexpectedly diverted from Israel to Chichester.

Since the settings had not been adjusted to take into account the different rotational speed of the Earth's surface at this latitude, the Tardis leaves a wake of destruction across the English countryside.
