The Eternity Cage was the second story in the audio anthology Agents of Chaos, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Andrew Smith and featured John Hurt as the War Doctor, Jacqueline Pearce as Cardinal Ollistra, Honeysuckle Weeks as Heleyna and introduced Josh Bolt as Kalan.

Sypnosis[[edit] | [edit source]]

Sontarans are the ultimate warriors – so they believe – and the Time War the ultimate conflict. Denied that glory by Skaro and Gallifrey alike, General Fesk of the Eighth Sontaran Battle Fleet employs a dangerous strategy to draw both sides to the planet Rovidia and prove his forces worthy…

Meanwhile, the War Doctor leads a rescue mission, aided by Rovidian street-urchin Kalan. Neither Daleks nor Time Lords expect the Sontarans to be so fearsome a foe, until they uncover the secret of the Eternity Cage.
