Doctor who: shadows of avalon (8th doctor)
The brigadier's wife is dead. A terrible accident. Grieving, he searches for death, and finds his way to avalon, the other-dimensional kingdom of the catuvelanui.
The doctor is also in avalon, marooned. He's lost his companions, his TARDIS...and his hope for the future.
Now it seems they'll have to make a new life for the selfs with the celts who live in the dreamlands. Perhaps even help in the celts' negotiations with the unseelie, the sinister original inhabitants of avalon, who live to the far north.
But then a gateway opens beneath earth and avalon. The British army arrives in force, and the brigadier negotiates a treaty that will lead to war in the land of dreams.
With fearsome dragons duelling jet fighters, vicious gallifreyan agents causing havoc, and compassion fighting against her ultimate foe, can the doctor save the world, his best friend and himself?
This story marks the end of one chapter in the life of the eighth doctor and the beginning of a new one.

A very well written re-introduction to The Doctor, particularly his Eighth incarnation.

He sent a wide-beam sonic pulse at exactly the right frequency all the way down that path between him and the tower, and was rewarded with a very satisfying series of detonations. The First Doctor skipped about at every fireball that burst into the sky. Finally, the smoke and flame died down. ‘There you go, all done.'
‘There could have been one right underneath us!'
‘Yeah, but it's not the kind of mistake you have to live with.' That was the other thing about his centuries of additional experience, he was a little more willing to roll the dice. Or perhaps it was just at this point he didn't give a damn. What the hell, his clothes were already ruined, might as well mess up the bodywork too. It wasn't like he was planning to trade the old thing in.
