Corruption was the third story in the I, Davros series released by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Lance Parkin and featured Terry Molloy as Davros, Carolyn Jones as Calcula, Katarina Olsson as Shan, David Bickerstaff as Ral and John Stahl as The Supremo.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
"Logically, the war ends with one form of life in utter control of the world. All other life forms gone. That is the goal — that is the only true victory!"
Now established within the Scientific Elite, Davros and his team are pushing the boundaries of Kaled experimentation further and further forward. Access to Thal DNA spearheads an entirely new field of research for Davros, and as he becomes more and more intrigued by genetic mutations, others around him begin to fear him, his drive and his obsessive need for power.
Meanwhile he must learn to cope with betrayal and political manoeuvrings that will leave him changed forever...
