He was in 'The Keeper Of Traken' and 'Logopolis'...but he was credited under a pseudonym in both these stories!

The download options available are:

I initially looked at the 'Full Text' versions, which are just the words, before settling on downloading (and saving to the computer) the PDF versions as these also contain the front cover artwork, the back cover blurb and any featured illustrations that the books contain

As a continuation of this, there are a lot of other Doctor Who titles that are available

In keeping with the classic televised stories, the 'past Doctor' stories from 'The Devil Goblins Of Neptune' to 'Atom Bomb Blues' can be found here and the 'missing adventures' from 'Killing Ground' to 'The Sands Of Time' can be found here

Following on from them, the 'New Adventures' from 'Timewyrm: Genesys' to 'The Dying Days' are here and the 'Eighth Doctor' stories from 'Doctor Who: The Movie' to 'The Gallifrey Chronicles' are here

For completists, the Bernice Summerfield stories from 'Oh No It Isn't' to 'Twilight Of The Gods' are also available here
