The Acheron Pulse	1001 Nights

The Shadow Heart was the third story in a 2012 multi-Doctor trilogy, beginning with the Fifth Doctor and ending with the Seventh Doctor

Publisher's summary

One empire has fallen and another has taken its place. The race known as The Wrath are expanding into new territory. Only the Earth Empire stands in their way.

It's been fifty years since the Doctor last visited this sector of space. And one man in particular has been awaiting his return. As the mistakes of his past come back to haunt him, and with a price on his head and bounty hunters on his tail, the Doctor is heading for a last reckoning.

The pieces are finally coming together. Somewhere deep within The Shadow Heart.

Cast

Seventh Doctor - Sylvester McCoy
Tenebris - James Wilby
Vienna Salvatori - Chase Masterson
Talbar - Eve Karpf
Horval - Alex Mallinson
Captain Webster / Starbaff / Wrath Emperor - John Banks
Lt. Dervish - Jaimi Barbakoff
Aliona - Kirsty Besterman

References

The Wrath War was fought approximately fifty years earlier, shortly after the Sixth Doctor's departure from Cawdor. As he programmed them to uphold the rule of law no matter what, they attacked and invaded any planet which they considered unjust.

Notes

Jaimi Barbakoff (Lt. Dervish) previously played Supreme Councillor Geflo in AUDIO: The Foe from the Future.
Kirsty Besterman reprises her role as Princess Aliona from AUDIO: The Burning Prince. In the interim, she played her cousin Empress Cheni in AUDIO: The Acheron Pulse.
Chase Masterson (Vienna Salvatori) would later play Peggy Brooks in AUDIO: Night of the Stormcrow.
Even before the release of this story, a spin-off was announced featuring the character of Vienna Salvatori, appropriately titled Vienna, starting with AUDIO: The Memory Box in February 2013.
This audio drama was recorded on 16 and 17 May 2012.

Continuity

Talbar refers to Vortis. (TV: The Web Planet)
It has been 80 years since the Fifth Doctor visited Sharnax (AUDIO: The Burning Prince) and 50 years since the Sixth Doctor visited Cawdor (AUDIO: The Acheron Pulse). Both planets were located in the Drashani Empire, which has since fallen to the Wrath. Vienna uses a memory sifter to ascertain his identity.
