Hope

Hope is the second of the Mad Dogs to Trading Futures quadrilogy and the first solo novel by Mark Clapham, it's definitely a story for Anji, featuring her trying to bring back Dave, ultimately trading it for information about the TARDIS with supposed ally Silver.
This story happens in the far future, on the planet Endpoint, a galactic waste dump and also has cities in it, the largest being the titular Hope, ruled over by Silver.  People are being killed by some of the last humans in the universe, the Doctor stops this and finds a terraforming device and uses it to make Endpoint habitable.  Now this where Hope could have ended, but it doesn't, and while the story could have gone bad in the second half, but it doesn't.  However, i haven't got to it yet in my re-reading, so expect a sequel to this. 8/10
