Time's Champion

Time's Champion is an unofficial Doctor Who novel co-written by Craig Hinton and Chris McKeon. It began as a proposed entry in BBC Books official Missing Adventures range but was ultimately rejected. Shortly after Hinton's sudden passing, McKeon used notes left behind by Hinton to complete work on the story. It was then published by David J Howe in 2008, with all profits benefiting the British Heart Foundation. The book was reprinted a few more times, most recently in 2020, to raise funds for the same charity.
