So Vile A Sin, 1997, Ben Aaronovitch and Kate Orman
Frankly, this book is more interesting for it’s complicated publishing history than its content. Ben Aaronovitch lost the book in a computer crash, so the deadline was missed, Orman was brought in to finish it based on what was available, and it eventually came out after Virgin had lost the rights to publish Doctor Who novels, hence the lack of a logo.
The story itself has one good thing about it, a very memorable and thematically appropriate death for a companion. Too bad that moment comes at the end of the terrible “Psi Powers” story-line and a lot of really horrible, even by New Adventures line standards, mush about alternate time-lines, evil clones of the Doctor and ancient Gallifreyean weapons.

So Vile A Sin *just* slipped out before the end of the licence, I think it may even have come out after The Dying Days. The Who logo was pulled off the books a few months earlier, to test the waters for the ‘Who-less’ NAs that started with Oh No It Isn’t.
