About this listen
Geoffrey Beevers reads this novelisation of a terrifying adventure for the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa.
The TARDIS arrives on the planet Manussa, about to commemorate its ancient banishment of the evil entity known as the Mara.
Unbeknownst to the Manussans, the Doctor's companion, Tegan, has become an unsuspecting medium for the Mara. Now she has helped it to return home.
The Doctor realises that this could mark the spectacular revival of the Mara's reign of terror - but it seems that no-one will heed his warning.
Reading produced by Morrison Ellis. Sound design by James Murray. Executive Producer: Michael Stevens

Story
It's ten years since Harry Sullivan left UNIT and gave up his travels in the TARDIS with the Doctor and Sarah Jane. Since then he has been engaged in top secret work, developing antidotes to nerve toxins. But when he is transferred to Yarra in the Hebrides to work on weapons research, he has severe misgivings. For one thing, it goes against much of what he believes in. For another, someone is out to kill Harry Sullivan.

On the serene planet Deva Loka, an expeditionary force from Earth is dangerously out of control. It's not only the peaceful race of the Kinda who are at risk. A gentle stroll in the lush jungle leads the Doctor and Adric to an unexpected confrontation - and puts them at the mercy of a maniac. But it is Tegan, lulled to sleep by mysterious wind-chimes, who comes closest to a danger than threatens not only her sanity but the existence of the whole planet.

Story
Four exciting novelisations. In The Mysterious Planet, the Doctor is brought before the court of his fellow Time Lords. In Mindwarp, the second piece of evidence against the Doctor is presented to the court. One thing is certain: on the evidence of the Matrix, the Doctor is guilty as charged! In Terror of the Vervoids, the Matrix relates how the Doctor and Mel arrive on a space liner just as a series of grisly murders begins. In The Ultimate Foe, the Doctor asserts that the evidence of the Matrix has been tampered with.

For Ruby Sunday, this Christmas Eve is a birthday she’ll never forget. It’s the day she joins the Doctor on board a Goblin ship. The day she learns of dangers from beyond the universe. The day her life really begins...or, perhaps, the day it ends.

A dynamic trio of stories by Paul Magrs, inspired by comic strips first published in Doctor Who Annual in the 1970s. In 'Dead on Arrival', Jo Grant finds out what it's like to be a ghost when she realises that no-one can see her. In 'The Traitor', the Fourth Doctor and Sarah help rescue the survivors of a crashed spaceship, only to discover that they are scientists deliberately marooned on a distant planet. In 'The Power', the Doctor and Leela are among those invited to the wedding of Princess Azula on the planet Shem.
