'''''The Invasion of E-Space''''' was the fourth story in the [[Series 5 (CC)|fifth series]] of ''[[The Companion Chronicles]]'', produced by [[Big Finish Productions]]. It was written by [[Andrew Smith (writer)|Andrew Smith]], narrated by [[Lalla Ward]] and featured the [[Fourth Doctor]], [[Romana II]] and [[Adric]]. | |||

== Publisher's summary == | |||
Trapped within E-Space, the Doctor, Romana and Adric are searching for a [[Charged Vacuum Emboitement]] — the gateway back to our universe. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. | |||
Then, by pure chance, a brand new CVE rips into being. Its makers are the [[Farrian]], a warlike race who have the technology to break into E-Space. They have come to invade and plunder this new territory, and the riches of the planet [[Ballustra]] are their first target. | |||
