Publisher's summary
Three years after Világ was all but laid waste by the Killorans, the Doctor is back alongside a different companion. And a lot has changed.
Now elected Principle Triumvir, head of a tripartite government, Rossiter is working to secure a peaceful future for the planet by researching the technology the Killorans left behind. But he has to contend with opposition from his daughter, Sofia, who heads a public campaign demanding the destruction of all alien artefacts.
Politics has caused a rift between father and daughter, and as if that weren't enough, Sofia doesn't approve of her new stepmother either. Emotions soon boil over into violence -- violence that seems to have gripped the entire city.
Friendships bind people close, but they say that blood is...

Notes
- This account of Mel's first meeting with Evelyn, along with Evelyn's post-TARDIS life, seems to be in conflict with that offered in PDA: Instruments of Darkness.
- As in BFA: The Wormery, Sylvester McCoy makes an uncredited cameo appearance as the Seventh Doctor in the final episode.
- Along with BFA: The Sirens of Time, BFA: Zagreus, BFA: The Wormery, BFA: Project: Lazarus and BFA: The Four Doctors, this is one of six Big Finish audio dramas in which both Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy appear.
Continuity
- This is a sequel to BFA: Arrangements for War. This story takes place three years afterwards.
- Sofia Rossiter was the best of friend of Princess Krisztina. (BFA: Arrangments for War)
- Evelyn tells Mel about her encounters with the Daleks. (BFA: The Apocalypse Element, BFA: Jubilee)
- The Sixth Doctor mentions his aggressive post-regenerative phase. (DW: The Twin Dilemma)
- Whereas Evelyn saw the Seventh Doctor from a distance in BFA: The 100 Days of the Doctor, she does not appear to recognise him in this story, though she correctly guesses that he is a future incarnation of the Doctor. They would meet for the second and final time in BFA: A Death in the Family.
- The Seventh Doctor informs Evelyn that his companion Hex is in actuality "Little Tommy", the son of Cassie Scholefield, whom they previously met in BFA: Project: Twilight and BFA: Project: Lazarus. Having seen him from afar in BFA: The 100 Days of the Doctor, Evelyn would later meet Hex formally in BFA: A Death in the Family.
- The Seventh Doctor tells Evelyn that he stumbled across Hex, who chose to travel with him on his volition. (BFA: The Harvest)
- Shortly before the events of this story from his perspective, the Seventh Doctor dropped Ace and Hex off in Monte Carlo in 1966 and instructed them to steal the Veiled Leopard while the Fifth Doctor's companions Peri Brown and Erimem were simultaneously trying to prevent it from being stolen. (BFA: The Veiled Leopard)
- At some point during their travels together, the Doctor and Evelyn eventually visited the court of Elizabeth I, which had been their intended destination at the time of Evelyn's first trip in the TARDIS. (BFA: The Marian Conspiracy) During his eighth incarnation, the Doctor would return to Elizabeth's court in the company of Samson and Gemma Griffin. (BFA: Terror Firma)
