The Taint (also called Doctor Who and the Taint) is an original novel credited to Michael Collier and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who . The work features the Eighth Doctor and Sam. This also marks the introduction of a new companion, Fitz Kreiner.
The book was written by range editor Steve Cole. Repeating the arrangement done for the earlier Longest Day , Cole asked his friend, Michael Collier, for permission to publish under his name. Collier later became an author of historical fiction in his own right. [1]
