BBC Books have released the cover and details for Michael Moorcock’s long-awaited Doctor Who novel, which has been named as The Coming of the Terraphiles!

The story sees the TARDIS land on Miggea, a world on the edge of reality, where space-time threatens to collapse. It’s the venue for the grand finals of the competition to win the fabled Arrow of Law, and the Doctor and Amy join forces with the Terraphiles, one of the teams of contestants determined to win the Arrow.

But the Doctor has another reason for taking part in the contest, and the safety of the entire universe depends on who wins.

It was confirmed that the acclaimed science fiction and fantasy author was to write a novel last November, and, while details are being kept underwraps, the hardback story, set to be published on 28th October 2010, will reportedly be an epic 320 pages!
