Corpse Marker is a BBC Books original novel written by Chris Boucher and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who . It features the Fourth Doctor and Leela. The concepts and characters are derived from the 1977 television serial The Robots of Death and reused in the spinoff audio series Kaldor City . It is notable for acting as a crossover story, albeit a slight one, to Blake's 7 , which Boucher script-edited, as the Psychostrategist Carnell (who appeared in the series two episode "Weapon" in 1979) plays a prominent role.

Synopsis

The events which took place on the Sandminer were covered up and only three survivors now living in Kaldor City know the truth. When the robots begin a second murderous spree in the city, the Doctor and Leela must intervene to stop them. ^[3]
