Where Angels Fear is an original novel by Rebecca Levene and Simon Winstone featuring the fictional archaeologist Bernice Summerfield.

The New Adventures were a spin-off from the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.

Where Angels Fear was commissioned as Levene handed over to Winstone and it sets up a story arc that ran through to the final New Adventure, Twilight of the Gods.

Bernice's home planet of Dellah, once a place of learning, is being overrun by a new religious movement.

Closer investigation reveals the major powers of the universe are literally running in fear from said movement.
