Cold Vengeance was the third and final story in the The Tenth Doctor Adventures: Volume Two, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Matt Fitton and featured David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler.

Publisher's summary

The TARDIS arrives on Coldstar, a vast freezer satellite, packed with supplies to feed a colony world.

But there are cracks in the ice, and something scuttles under the floors. Soon, Rose and the Doctor encounter robots, space pirates and... refuse collectors.

As Coldstar's tunnels begin to melt, an even greater threat stirs within. An old enemy of the Doctor puts a plan into action - a plan for retribution.

Nobody's vengeance is colder than an Ice Warrior's.

Plot

The TARDIS materializes in what seems to be an ice cave and the Doctor and Rose emerge, immediately feeling the cold. Rose remarks that she can't complain as they can't go skiing without a bit of ice. When asked where the snow is, the Doctor explains that he asked the TARDIS to land on the nearest place with optimum temperatures for downhill slaloms. Rose thinks that the TARDIS has landed inside of an ice hotel similar to the one that Anne-Marie went on for her honeymoon, then wonders if they're in Sweden, a theory that is shot down by the Doctor pointing out that the gravity is wrong.

The Doctor finds a sign that says "Coldstar - Frozen Food Storage", leaving Rose wondering if they're in a frozen food shop. Exploring even further, they find rows of frozen peas, then decide to continue exploring in hopes of finding choc-ices. The Doctor notices some cracks in the ice and then Rose steps in a puddle of water, making the Doctor realize that the frozen food storage has been thawing for a while.

Elsewhere, Ice Lord Hasskor watches as his warriors awake from their slumber. When his second-in-command, Slaan, asks him what his command is, Hasskor replies by saying "We have slept long enough. It is time to exact our vengeance!"

A transport vessel docks at Coldstar as Lorna and Bert are busy collecting the recycling from the blue, green and brown bins. Bert asks Lorna if she wants a tea break, but Lorna decides to continue working on her own.

The Doctor and Rose are walking down a service corridor, while the Doctor points out the porthole, which they both look out of to find themselves looking into deep space. The Doctor realizes that what he and Rose have found in the food storage area could feed millions of people on the planet that Coldstar is orbiting. They then hear a noise coming from inside the hull. The Doctor uses his Sonic Screwdriver to try and open the plating that the noise is coming from, but it seems to aggravate whatever is making the noise. They both begin to follow the source of the noise back towards the ice.
