Peter Capaldi will be jumping in on Saturday to fill the big shoes of the Doctor in the eighth season of the BBC series Doctor Who. To celebrate the premiere—and if you want more, more, more—here are eight sci-fi novels with time travel, aliens, and adventure galore.

Earth and Beyond by Anthony Sailer (AuthorHouse)
“This sci-fi escapade is a multidimensional experience propelled by high-speed action and colorful, descriptive detail.” – Julia Ann Charpentier

The Serapis Fraktur by Mark Clay Grove (Spitfire Publishing)
“For a change, here’s a story of an Earth that is not post-apocalyptic—just a delightful sci-fi romp replete with adventure, aliens, and time travel.” – Mark McLaughlin

Tomorrows End by Geoffrey Morris (Dark Light Publishing)
“Teenager Kevin Knight learns that he is a savior of the universe in this nonstop joyride of a sci-fi epic.” – Lee Gooden

In Retrospect by Ellen Larson (Five Star)
“With twists and turns, In Retrospect has something for fans of both science fiction and mystery.” – Pallas Gates McCorquodale

Patalosh by Z. Altug and Tracy Gensler (CreateSpace)

The Children Who Time Lost by Marvin Amazon (Corinthians Publishing)

“A time-hopping actor in Tinseltown searches for life’s deeper meanings and a meeting with Marilyn Monroe.” – Jill Allen
