A lethal dead star looms in the fourth audiobook in the Doctor Who — The Audio Novels range, due for release in January 2023 from Big Finish .

The new voice of the Second Doctor, Michael Troughton, narrates a new adventure, which fits in the gap between the 1966 Doctor Who TV stories, The Power of the Daleks and The Highlanders.

In this six-hour enhanced audiobook, the second incarnation of the Time Lord and his trusty companions Polly and Ben face a solar system disaster. With specially composed music and entrancing sound effects, expect to be fully absorbed into the nail-biting tale.

Producer David Richardson said: “It’s been some years since we’ve had the pleasure of Kate Orman’s name on a Doctor Who audio drama script. In fact, the last was a Short Trips box set in 2009. That was something I wanted to address in The Audio Novels series, and so here we have The Dead Star. Kate’s initial pitch was superb and the script is equally delightful. It’s great to have her back, and Michael Troughton has brought the words to life impeccably.”

Doctor Who — The Audio Novels: The Dead Star, written by Kate Orman, is now available to pre-order for just £17.99 (as a digital download), exclusively from www.bigfinish.com.   Big Finish listeners can save money by pre-ordering all six titles in the Doctor Who — The Audio Novels range together as a bundle for just £99.
