New details and covers have been released from Big Finish Productions for the company’s coming year as they look to top an impressive 2014.
Two trilogies will kick off the main range in the new year, starting with the anticipated return to E-Space with the Fifth Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Turlough
Return to E-Space
January: Mistfall by Andrew Smith
Drawn off-course, the TARDIS passes through a CVE into a closed universe – a hugely improbable event with a tragically obvious cause. In order to escape inescapable E-Space, the Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Turlough are forced to venture in the wilds of planet Alzarius.
But they’re not the only unwanted visitors to this strange world. A Starliner has landed, captained by Decider Merrion – but why would Merrion risk rousing the Planet that Slept, and the monsters in its marshes?
Mistfall is coming. The Marshmen are coming. But while Nyssa and Turlough find themselves caught in the open, in the hands of fanatics who model themselves on the legendary Outlers, the Doctor and Tegan discover that the supposedly secure Starliner affords them no protection from monsters both within and without…
February: Equilibrium by Matt Fitton
Still looking for a way out of E-Space, the TARDIS crashes to Isenfel - a realm of snow and ice. Snarling beasts stalk the frozen plains, a feisty princess leads the hunt, and a queen in an ice palace rules over her loyal subjects.
But this is no fairytale kingdom, and everyone in Isenfel knows the price of survival. While Nyssa and Tegan uncover deadly secrets hidden in the palace, Turlough flees for his life across the tundra.
And as for the Doctor…
he only ever wants to change things for the better. But in a world such as Isenfel, such a hope may not even be possible.
March: The Entropy Plague by Jonathan Morris
A Great Darkness is spreading over E-Space. Entropy increases. In search of a last exit to anywhere, the TARDIS arrives on the power-less planet of Apollyon, where the scientist Pallister guards the only way out – a mysterious portal. But the portal needs power to open, and the only power Pallister can draw on is the energy contained within the molecular bonds of all living tissue…
The Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan and Turlough soon learn that neither Pallister nor his ally, the space pirate Captain Branarack, will stop at murder to ensure their escape. But they’re not the only menace on Apollyon. The Sandmen are coming – creatures that live on the life force; that live on death.
Death is the only way out into N-Space. Death, or sacrifice.
But whose death?
Whose sacrifice?
The Locum Doctors
The main range hits it’s landmark 200th release in June and something very special is in store for fans, script editor Alan Barnes speaking to BigFinish.com:
“For some time, I’d been thinking it was a shame we couldn’t make more use of the first three Doctors’ companions in the Main Range,” says Alan. ‘Continuity permitting (or even not!), we can always have the Fifth, Sixth or Seventh Doctors meeting up with friends they said ‘goodbye’ to years before… but there have been a fair few School Reunion-type stories now, and they’re great, but I couldn’t help wondering: can’t we do something different? Then I thought: what if the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors turned up bang in the middle of earlier, unseen adventures – standing in for their ‘proper’ selves, who’ve gone AWOL for some reason or other…? Locum Doctors, if you will! ‘And that’s what we’ve done!’”
April: The Defectors by Nicholas Briggs
The Seventh Doctor finds himself on a mysterious island in extremely unexpected circumstances…
“The challenge is to put your displaced Doctor into an adventure which feels like it comes from another era, and he has to work out why he’s here and what he’s supposed to do,’ says Nick Briggs. ‘It brings up lots of questions about what makes the Doctors different. This one is a different spin on the “base under siege” scenario, set on a remote island, but still involving lots of government and UNIT shenanigans.” - Nicholas Briggs
May: The Last of the Cybermen by Alan Barnes
The Doctor finds himself caught up in the Cyber Wars…
June: The Secret History by Eddie Robson
The Doctor finds himself plunged back into history… in more ways than one.
