Doctor Who: The Secret Lives of Monsters by Justin Richards (Hardcover, 2014).

IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS. IT IS THE ALIEN INVADER'S GREATEST ADVANTAGE.

Tales of unearthly beings have long circulated among us, from legends of intelligent life on Earth before Homo Sapiens to conspiracy theories about what really happened at the Battle of Canary Wharf.

But the truth is that alien life exists - and here, at last, is proof.

Based on exclusive access to classified government files, The Secret Lives of Monsters collects evidence that has been suppressed for centuries - notes from clandestine meetings, reports of eyewitness accounts, never-before-seen images and documents, secrets provided by a mysterious agent known only as 'the Doctor', and more.

It reveals all we know about aliens who are already here, and provides essential information to survive future invasions.

So don't panic. You are not weaponless.

The Secret Lives of Monsters will give you the greatest weapon of all: knowledge.

WHEN THE DALBKS invaded Barth in 2009, it became suddenly and wintoningly clear that we are not alone in the universe. Of course, even

and the Mars Probe flasco...

Throushout history, there have been rumours, legends, myths and stories Throutures visting Barth from beyond the stars, from other worlds. Many Of those stories are just that - fotion and speculation. But some of them are based on more than a grain of truth.

In this book we bring together the evidence that has emerged over the past few years and throw lent into the dark st corners of the universe. We dran on information from the secretive UNIT organisation, and the even more shadowy Torchwood Institute. Many of the classified documents we refer to are only available now thanks to the untiring efforts of investigative journalists like James Stevens whose pioneering work has helped us to understand UNIT. Then there are the whistleblowers' - many of them anonymous - like Benjamin Nevis who have leaked some of the more

comprehensive Torchwood reports.

What we learn from these various sources has helped us to build up a picture of our planet as a potential target for alien incursion and invasion.

It has begun to reveal just how much the authorities have kept back - not just about past alien activity but also their knowledge of future events, the sources for which we cannot even begin to guess at.

But now at last the truth can be told, or at least as much of it as we can glean from the available evidence. The monsters are coming out of the shadows.

In this book you will find discursive articles about alien - and sometimes not so alien - monsters. You will see some of the original source materials and evidence reproduced here often for the first time.
