The Stealers of Dreams (novel)

Publisher's summary
In the far future, the Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack find a world on which fiction has been outlawed. A world where it’s a crime to tell stories, a crime to lie, a crime to hope, and a crime to dream.

But now somebody is challenging the status quo. A pirate TV station urges people to fight back. And the Doctor wants to help -- until he sees how easily dreams can turn into nightmares.

With one of his companions stalked by shadows and the other committed to an asylum, the Doctor is forced to admit that fiction can be dangerous after all. Though perhaps it is not as deadly as the truth...

Story notes

 * There is a reference to the events of Boom Town, placing it after that story. However, at the end of Boom Town, the Doctor stated they were going to Raxacoricofallapatorius. Then in Bad Wolf, he said they went from there to Japan, before being caught in the transmat. Doctor Who reference Guide insists that there is a gap, as he may have been referring to a different trip to Raxacoricofallapatorius. Also, the transmat is known to affect memory.
 * This is the last Ninth Doctor novel.
