Thirty years ago, author Andy Lane created two new companion characters for the Doctor Who: The New Adventures novel range. Today, one of these characters, Chris Cwej, is still going strong—with new novels and stories about his solo adventures releasing from Arcbeatle Press since 2020, and the future holds more to come.
“Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the introduction of Chris and Roz in Original Sin is a dream come true,” said range editor Hunter O'Connell. “Cwej: The Series has taken new and wonderful forms I’d never have imagined when I first began this project five years ago. To see this wonderful science fantasy mythos from the 90s Who novels continuing with Arcbeatle’s help is nothing short of astonishing, and I can’t wait to show you all what we have cooking up for Cwej30.”
Starting June 15th, Arcbeatle Press had prepared a number of treats for readers to celebrate thirty years of our favorite Adjudicator:
And the celebrations don't stop there! Coming in July is Dread Mnemosyne / When Winter Comes, a double feature of two novellas as the next installment of Hidden Truths.
“With new novels like Cwej: The Midas Touch, and our surprise hit online story Shutter Speed, this year has already had some wonderful surprises for readers. Cwej has meant a lot to us, and to me, and we hope this celebration sets the stage for the next thirty years,” said Arcbeatle Press Co-President James Wylder.
Cwej: The Complete First Cycle will be available on June 22nd
