While they’re busy getting more readings for the Vindicator, the Doctor and Belinda are diverted once more when a deadly psychic scream threatens to overwhelm the TARDIS’ systems. They track the source of this cry in the dark to a distant planet where they discover the stricken bioship Adama and the colonists that have descended from their crew. The Doctor must work quickly before the ship’s death throes destroy them all.

This brand-new Fifteenth Doctor adventure is by Hannah Fergesen, a former literary agent and the author of 2023’s The Infinite Miles, which was strongly inspired by Doctor Who.
