Beige Planet Mars

1

Beige Planet Mars is a 1998 novel by Lance Parkin and Mark Clapham featuring the fictional archaeologist Bernice Summerfield. The New Adventures were a spin-off from the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The cover features a Martian canal, a reference to a popular trope in science fiction stories and art about Mars.

Writing

Mark Clapham explained, "Lance [Parkin] asked me [to co-write it]. He wanted to write for the Benny range, but didn't want to write a whole one. I had this murder plot I wanted to do, and he wanted to write a book about Mars."

Plot

The novel is set on Mars and draws on previous depictions of the planet in the New Adventures.
