Twilight of the Gods is a novel by Mark Clapham and Jon de Burgh Miller from the Virgin New Adventures with the fictional archaeologist Bernice Summerfield as its main character. The New Adventures were based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Twilight of the Gods was the twenty-third and final New Adventure featuring only Bernice after Virgin lost the licence to publish original Doctor Who fiction.[1]
The novel features the return of the Ferutu, thought destroyed after the events of the Missing Adventure Cold Fusion.
Writing
[edit]Clapham had written for the range previously and brought on board new writer Miller as he was busy working on The Taking of Planet 5. Clapham himself described the book as, "a horrendously rushed job, and a lot of the problems come from having too many cooks at the plotting stage – we had to reconcile all the Benny/Gods threads that needed wrapping up, satisfy Peter Darvill-Evans' requirements for the last book, fit with a title which had already been established, and somehow do a couple of ideas of our own if we could fit them in."[2]
Plot
[edit]God-like beings have shattered the peace of Dellah, and threaten to spread chaos across the galaxy. Benny and Jason Kane return to the planet in a desperate last attempt to stop them, before the planet is destroyed forever.
