Synopsis

Whilst travelling in the vortex, the TARDIS is struck by an advanced war machine - a Time Tank! Losing Romana, the Doctor and K9 pursue the Tank to Aoris, a world quite literally at war with itself.

Soldiers from the future are attacking the past of their own planet - gathering resources and stealing endangered species. But the past is not without weapons of its own - leaving deadly devices ready to trigger many years ahead after their enemies have been born.

Trapped at opposite ends of a temporal war, the Time Lords have two time zones to save. But who is in the right, and who in the wrong? And when history itself is against you, can anybody actually win?

This adventure continues in Doctor Who: Legacy of Death

Previous Story: The Labyrinth of Buda Castle

An absolutely genius story, this two-parter might be one of the best things Big Finish has put out. It's such a simple but totally unique concept. A planet at war with it's own ancestors. This story is absolutely fascinating and the way the Doctor and Romana keep ending up on both sides of the conflict, with their actions influencing both the past and the future is brilliant to hear play out. I love that K9 gets such an active role in the story.

Genuinely an incredible story.
