The third of Big Finish’s audio novels is another encounter with the Daleks – this time for the 12th Doctor.

The Daleks have conquered the Earth in the explosive audiobook, due for release in July 2022.

The Twelfth Doctor’s friend, Bill Potts, has history with the Daleks… and a future too, apparently, as she takes centre stage. Dan Starkey narrates this seven-hour enhanced audiobook written by Jonathan Morris, featuring specially composed music, immersive sound effects, and a guest appearance from Nicholas Briggs voicing the Daleks.

Bill Potts has an unexpected visitor: another Bill Potts from twenty years in the future. Bill summons the Doctor, who confirms that the other Bill is the genuine article. She has come to see her younger self for a reason… but she can’t say what it is without creating a paradox! 
 
Moments later, the TARDIS Cloister Bell sounds. A damaged Dalek war saucer is travelling back through the time vortex on a collision course. The Doctor dematerializes the TARDIS to avoid it, only to cause the spaceship to crash-land in Earth’s recent past. When it re-materializes, the TARDIS is now in a world altered beyond recognition. The city of Bristol has been reduced to rubble, save for an interstellar rocket construction site and a top-security research complex. The complex is guarded by ‘Robomen’ and flying security drones piloted by Dalek mutants.  
 
The Doctor quickly realizes what has happened. History has been changed, and the Daleks have conquered the Earth, enslaving the human race.  
 
He couldn’t be more wrong. And Bill is about to discover that her past, present and future are no longer her own. 

Producer David Richardson said: “Series ten just got bigger – welcome to a timey-wimey journey through a disastrous future for Bill Potts, in which she meets herself and discovers a world changed by the Daleks.

“Jonny’s script was a page turner, and Dan’s reading is glorious – accompanied by Dalek maestro Nicholas Briggs, of course. With full FX and score, this is going to be a thrilling treat for the ears.’”
