The Companion Chronicles "talking books" are each narrated by one of the Doctor's companions and feature a second, guest-star voice along with music and sound effects.

Plot

While investigating a debris-littered battlefield in deep space, the TARDIS crew are salvaged by an ancient race of collectors known as Dar Traders.

Separated from the Doctor after an accident, Adric, Tegan and Nyssa find themselves at the mercy of the Traders’ curiosity. But the Traders have salvaged a cabinet from the battle that could be very dangerous indeed.

What does the suave assassin, Damasin Hyde, know of the cabinet? And why is everybody so interested in the missing Time Lord?

To find the Doctor, the TARDIS crew will have to enter a violent inter-planetary war. Where someone will die, and it will change everything.

Cast

• Nyssa — Sarah Sutton

Notes

• This is the first play to feature the Fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa and Tegan together, as Matthew Waterhouse and Janet Fielding are not willing to perform for Big Finish. Tegan (played by Fielding) has only appeared in The Gathering, and Adric appeared in The Boy That Time Forgot, although played by Andrew Sachs.
• This story is a prequel to the Seventh Doctor story The Death Collectors
