'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was the eighth and final story in the [[Series 3 (8DA)|third series]] of the ''[[Eighth Doctor Adventures (audio series)|Eighth Doctor Adventures]]'', produced by [[Big Finish Productions]]. It was written by [[Eddie Robson]] and featured [[Paul McGann]] as the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Sheridan Smith]] as [[Lucie Miller]].


==Publisher's Summary==
This story is a continuation of ''[[The Eight Truths (audio story)|The Eight Truths]]''.
London, 2015. The Doctor’s looking for a lost space probe. Lucie Miller’s feeling just plain lost, on a world she no longer quite belongs to.


Perhaps there’s someone who can help. A chance encounter with an old sparring partner leads Lucie to the Eightfold Truth – a bunch of crystal-bearing cranks who reckon a rebel sun is on its way to purge the Earth. As if!
== Publisher's summary ==
Thanks to the Eightfold Truth, [[Metebelis crystal]]s cover the Earth, and the [[Eight Legs]], giant spiders from that distant world, are poised to take control of the planet.


But what if they’re right?
As the Doctor attempts to deal with the invasion and its connection to a long-lost [[stellar manipulator]] he last saw above [[Orbis]], Lucie Miller finds herself playing host to [[The Great One (Planet of the Spiders)|the Great One]]. Can she break free of the spider leader's control, or will she be lost forever?


The apocalypse is upon us. As humankind counts down the last days of its existence, the Doctor races to unmask the Eightfold Truth – and uncovers an old and deadly enemy.
And can Earth avoid becoming trapped forever in a worldwide web?
