For those of you who don't know, Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart (later Brigadier) was a character who appeared off-and-on in the television series between 1968 and 1989, and in particular between 1970 and 1974, when he was head of the UK branch of UNIT, who dealt with various alien invasions.
The character itself isn't owned by the BBC, and in 2015
Candy Jar Books launched a series of novels featuring the character and also various others who appeared in television stories. All officially licensed by their creators.
Here's the official website for the book series:

'There’s always death on the rock when the Beast’s about.’
Fang Rock has always had a bad reputation. Since 1955 the lighthouse has been out of commission, shut down because of fire that gutted the entire tower. But now, finally updated and fully renovated, the island and lighthouse is once again about to be brought back into service.
Students have gathered on Fang Rock to celebrate the opening of the ‘most haunted lighthouse of the British Isles’, but they get more than they bargained for when the ghosts of long-dead men return, accompanied by a falling star.
Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart is brought in to investigate what he believes to be signs of alien involvement. But it is not only Lethbridge-Stewart who has an interest in Fang Rock. Anne Travers is called to her family solicitor’s, who have in their possession a letter from Archibald Goff, the paranormal investigator who once visited Fang Rock back in the 1820s, and along with it a piece of alien technology.
What connects a shooting star, ghosts of men killed in 1902 and the beast that roamed Fang Rock in 1823? Lethbridge-Stewart and Anne Travers are about to discover the answer first hand...
With a foreword by Louise Jameson, who played Leela, the Doctor’s companion from 1976-1978.
The third book in the Lethbridge-Stewart novels series.
