No Future is an original novel written by Paul Cornell and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Bernice. A prelude to the novel, also penned by Cornell, appeared in Doctor Who Magazine #209. This novel is the conclusion to the "Alternate Universe cycle".
The title is a reference to the Sex Pistols song "God Save The Queen".
Like all Doctor Who spin-off media, its canonicity in relation to the television series is unclear.

[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
London, 1976, while Bernice becomes lead singer in a punk band, the Doctor must face more than one old enemy...
[edit] Trivia
- No Future features the Meddling Monk who appeared in two First Doctor stories: The Time Meddler and The Daleks' Master Plan as well the Vardans from the Fourth Doctor serial The Invasion of Time. Here the monk is given the name Mortimus.
- The Brigadier visits the Top of the Pops studio and opens fire on Paul McCartney, while saying, "Chap with Wings, five rounds rapid!" This is a punning reference to the television serial The Dæmons, where he gives the same order when faced with an animated, winged gargoyle.
