Publisher's summary

‘Welcome back, Doctor...’

Centuries ago, on the war-torn planet Skaro, a great scientist created the most evil creatures the Universe would ever know... Daleks.

It was at their genesis that the scientist Davros first met and was defeated by the Doctor.

Over the years and throughout space, they fought.

It was a fight that ended with the Doctor’s destruction of Skaro and the Daleks. Except...

Davros survived. Alone. In the dark. With only thoughts of revenge keeping him alive.

The Doctor is back. Davros is waiting.

Their destiny is now.

Notes

Continuity

  • For Davros, this story is virtually a direct sequel to DW: Remembrance of the Daleks. There are two stories which could be so considered, the other being EDA: War of the Daleks (see further down for discussion of Terror Firma's continuity with War of the Daleks).
  • This audio doesn't really retcon EDA: War of the Daleks, it just totally ignores it... however, it is possible to work both into a single continuity (if you really feel the need to).
  • If you do, then it would appear that Terror Firma takes place first, as the Doctor and Davros both believe that Skaro has been destroyed (or at least, they do not say that it has not), and make no mention of the Dalek Prime's claim that a decoy world called Antalin was destroyed. Presumably at some point after Terror Firma, the Davros personality reasserts itself and Davros somehow ends up in another escape pod in another field of debris in space.
