The City Of The Saved
''Faction Paradox'' is a series of novels, audio stories, short story anthologies, and comics set in and around a "War in Heaven", a history-spanning conflict between godlike "Great Houses" and their mysterious enemy. The series is named after a group originally created by author Lawrence Miles for BBC Books' ''Doctor Who'' novels. Overviews Originally a subplot in the Eighth Doctor Adventures, the War involves several characters and concepts evolved from the original ''Doctor Who'' set-up.
