The cover art of Craig Hinton's BBC novel Synthespians, published in July 2004 and featuring the sixth Doctor as played by Colin Baker, and Peri (Nicola Bryant) and featuring the return of an old foe - From the cover it's not difficult to work out which one.

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

For anyone interested here is the original unused 'Dynasty' Artwork to Synthespians which placed Auton heads on an image of the cast of 80's soap opera Dynasty. As the original image was copyrighted it meant the 'Dynasty' cover had to be binned.
