Empire of the Racnoss was the second story in Classic Doctors, New Monsters: Volume Two, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Scott Handcock and featured Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor.
Publisher's summary
When a distress call rips the TARDIS from the Vortex, dragging it back through time, it arrives in the midst of a conflict between Gallifrey and an ancient foe.
The Doctor, as ever, wants to help, but in returning a wounded combatant home, he becomes further and further entangled in a web of deceit and recrimination. A web spun by an eight-legged Empress and her minions...
The Empire of the Racnoss is at war, and wherever he stands, the Doctor is on the wrong side.
