Ilustration In Favor Of Books Faction Paradox: The Book of the War (Faction Paradox #0)
A stand-alone novel in alphabetical order…Before the Faction Paradox series from Image Comics, there was the War in Heaven—a wide-ranging conflict between the immovable Great Houses, the renegade Faction Paradox and other major powers. All of them possess time-travel technology—and all of them are trying to usurp various points in history, thus erasing their opponents from the timestream.
Marking the first five decades of the cosmic-spanning conflict, The Book of the War is an A to Z self-contained complete guide to the Spiral Politic, from the beginning of recorded time to the fall of humanity. This book chronicles the rise of the Faction as a renegade House, the creation of a living timeship named Compassion, some brutal battles across all of time and space and more.
All in all, The Book of the War serves as the No. 1 entry point into the Faction Paradox novel and comic lines.

Lawrence Miles created Faction Paradox as a time travelling voodoo-esque cult as a villain for the BBC range of Eighth Doctor books. The BBC took the Faction in a different way to what Miles originally intended so he spun them off into their own series. Whilst not being massively popular it is, imho, one of the better Doctor Who spin-offs. They have a series of audios and quite a few well-received original novels. The Book of the War was the first release but instead of

A lexicon novel from a spinoff Doctor Who storyline. (It does not directly involve any canonical Who characters, and the terminology is painted over.) The history-spanning, insular, weakly godlike civilization has run into an unnamed Enemy. This is a dictionary of factions, technologies, personages, and adjunct factors from the War's early years (for certain agreed-upon values of "year"). Lexicon entries are threaded together in several ways to form several implied narratives -- of which some
A hard one to rate. If you're the sort of person who thinks that Doctor Who would be immensely improved without the Doctor, or the sort of person who's deeply curious about convoluted fictional meta-histories, or the sort of person who's into voodoo, time-travel and hard mythology, you'll probably love it. If you're not, you'll wonder who on Earth would be. It's either a 1 or a 5. No middle ground.
