Ghost Devices is an original novel by Simon Bucher-Jones featuring the fictional archaeologist Bernice Summerfield. The New Adventures were a spin-off from the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who.
The title refers to an operating system that continues to recognize a piece of hardware after it has been disconnected from the system.
In Ghost Devices, we meet Clarence (named after the angel in It's a Wonderful Life). Clarence appears in the form of an angel, but is an artificial intelligence from the People. Clarence is an agent of God.
As with all Doctor Who spin-off media, its relationship to the televised serials is open to interpretation.
