Cyberon (anthology)

 was an anthology published by Arcbeatle Press on 2020. As well as an expanded novelisation of the 2001 BBV drama Cyberon, the anthology also contained five short stories featuring the titular Cyberons.

Although the home video version of Cyberon contained no elements from the Doctor Who universe upon its original release, it was notable for introducing the characters of Lauren Anderson and Ray Lambert, who went on to feature in Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough. In this book, the Preternatural Research Bureau investigated the aftermath of the original narrative, with the release acting as a companion to the revival of the P.R.O.B.E. franchise, also published by Arcbeatle Press. The Cyberons themselves had previously been reintroduced by way of a mention in A Bright White Crack, an instalment of Cwej: The Series.

Some weeks before the release of the anthology, Arcbeatle Press released the animated webcast Cyberon is Back!!, described as "an overture to the upgraded horror to come".

Publisher's summary
"We've made contact with something better than us. They are stronger, they don't die. They'll cast off their human bodies and spread to the stars, nothing will stop them."

Cyberon is the new miracle drug, boasted to cure the untreatable. When Dr. Lauren Anderson agrees to Thomas Mordley testing the drug on her brain damaged patients she expects little benefit.

Doctor Anderson is wrong...

Cyberon is different. Mordley knows it's a wonder drug, and it's going to revolutionise medicine. He thinks it may even revolutionise the world. But neither of them realise that Cyberon has its own plans. Even if they did, could they do anything to stop it?

Also featuring three additional tales of silver horror from James Hornby, James Wylder and Tyche McPhee Letts.
