The Eighth Piece was the second audio story in the anthology Doom Coalition 3. It starred Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, Nicola Walker as Liv Chenka, and Hattie Morahan as Helen Sinclair.

Publisher's summary

15th Century Prague: in the castle dungeons, a prisoner raves about the end of the world. Outside, Liv Chenka seeks out the workshop of a strange Clockmaker to see what he is creating.

England, 1538: Lord Thomas Cromwell finds his duties interrupted by otherworldly forces – clockwork soldiers, an unusual nun, and a mysterious scholar calling himself the Doctor. Perhaps the truth can be extracted in the torture chamber of London's Bloody Tower?

Rome, 2016: Helen Sinclair has an appointment with an enigmatic Professor, whose greatest work is almost complete. Only the Eighth Piece is missing…
