Given that most of the Doctor Who material published by BBC Books these days is for a similar market, I'm hardly in a position to argue (although the scrapped releases from a couple of years ago did sound far more enticing). Except, you should see the synopsis for the first one which is frankly an act of war:
After a rough week at Starfleet Academy, James T. Kirk and his friends blow off steam at San Francisco’s hottest new club. Their good times come to a screeching halt, however, when one of the cadets is attacked by someone who seemingly appears out of thin air.Don't think these heretical slurs and scandalous libels will go unnoticed, author Rick Barba. Consider the cordial understanding which has existed between our two franchises at an end. Just because he may have been accused of murder in the past, you've no right to do it now, especially since all charges were dropped on most occasions, usually during the cliffhanger resolution in episode two. If you thought the starship bridge in A Christmas Carol was unnecessarily harsh, expect Big Finish to put out a cd featuring a veiled parody of Spock and then see where you'll be. Ha! And ha again!
Bones and his medical team save the cadet’s life, but they uncover the horrifying consequences of the attack. Meanwhile, Starfleet’s investigation reveals the assailant is actually a brutal serial killer from the past–a mysterious entity known only as the Doctor. Who is the Doctor, and why has he returned after disappearing more than twenty years ago?
At the urging of Commander Spock, Cadet Uhura is called to decipher a message from the Doctor. Spock has no idea that by enlisting Uhura’s help, he has placed her firmly in the Doctor’s sights.
Before long Kirk, Uhura and Bones are caught up in the Doctor’s dangerous web as they race against time to stop the killer before he strikes again.
