Big Finish's first Fourth Doctor adventure. A great jumping-on point.... After saying their good-byes to Professor Litefoot and Henry Gordon Jago, the Doctor and Leela respond to an alien distress call beamed direct from Victorian England. It is the beginning of a journey that will take them to the newly built Space Dock Nerva...where a long overdue homecoming is expected. A homecoming that could bring about the end of the human race. Written and directed by Nicholas Briggs.

Because the sands of time are falling....
