Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible is an original novel written by Marc Platt and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Seventh Doctor and Ace.[1][2][3]

Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible was the first Virgin novel to examine Gallifrey in any depth, and presented a Gallifreyan society somewhat unlike that seen on television.[4]
