Candy Jar Books is thrilled to announce the re-release of The New Unusual, A Very Private Haunting, and The Man from Yesterday – three Lethbridge-Stewart novels from series five that are back in print with exciting new covers. Originally released nearly a decade ago, they have been brought back by popular demand.
These books are packed with all the action and high-stakes drama you’ve come to expect from the Lethbridge-Stewart series. From mind-bending alien threats to chilling supernatural mysteries, the legendary Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart and his fearless colleague Anne Travers are once again back in action.
In The New Unusual, Anne Travers finds herself investigating a strange underground movement in 1970s Australia. As the mystery deepens, she and Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart uncover an alien force unlike anything they’ve encountered before. The book blends the cultural upheaval of the time with a heart-pounding thriller and mind-bending science fiction that pushes the boundaries of reality itself.
In A Very Private Haunting, Lethbridge-Stewart and Anne are called to the remote Scottish village of Glencross, where the disappearance of a young boy leads them to a haunted manor steeped in dark secrets. As they unravel the mystery, they discover a chilling connection to the sinister “shadow creatures” that have been plaguing UNIT – and the consequences of this discovery are more terrifying than they could ever have imagined.
Finally, in The Man from Yesterday, the long-buried secret of Lethbridge-Stewart’s missing father comes to light. The Brigadier embarks on a perilous investigation, uncovering strange alien phenomena along the Norfolk coast, and soon discovers that his father may still be alive. But this revelation leads to an even greater shock: his family’s connection to a hidden alien threat is far deeper and more dangerous than he could have ever imagined.
“We couldn’t be more excited to bring these novels back to the fans who loved them the first time around,” says Shaun Russell, Head of Publishing at Candy Jar Books. “These books were originally released as exclusive editions. With updated covers, these stories look better than ever, and we can’t wait for readers to rediscover these thrilling adventures of the Brigadier and Anne Travers.”
But that’s not all! Alongside these re-released novels, Candy Jar Books is also launching The Benton Files Collection, a massive compendium that delves deep into the world of John Benton, the iconic sergeant from Doctor Who. This collection includes all seven volumes of The Benton Files, plus a brand-new, exclusive story by Tim Gambrell, along with illustrations by Terry Cooper. For anyone who’s a fan of UNIT and the Doctor Who universe, this collection is an absolute must-have.
“It’s been incredible to see the ongoing demand for these Lethbridge-Stewart and UNIT stories,” says UNIT Range Editor Tim Gambrell. “The collection is the perfect companion to these re-releases, offering fans the chance to experience all these thrilling stories in one massive volume. It’s an essential read for anyone who loves Doctor Who and UNIT.”
