Independence Day was the thirty-fifth novel in the BBC Past Doctor Adventures series. It was written by Peter Darvill-Evans, released 2 October 2000 and featured the Seventh Doctor and Ace.

Publisher's summary[]

"Danger is my middle name," Ace said. "Or it would be if I had more than one. I can look after myself these days, you know."

Freedom. Liberty. Free Will. Independence. Choice. Everyone wants to be free. But at what point does freedom become irresponsibility? What happens when one person's choice causes another's oppression?

The Doctor's on a simple mission to return a communications device he borrowed years previously. Being a Time Lord, he can return it before anyone misses it.

But events in the Mendeb system have moved more quickly than the Doctor estimated, and he lands in the ruins of a civilisation devastated by mysterious invaders.
