Singularity was the seventy-sixth monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions. It was the third audio story to feature the Fifth Doctor and Vislor Turlough. It was released in November 2005, four years after Mark Strickson had appeared in AUDIO: Loups-Garoux. It is the last story to feature only the Doctor played by Peter Davison and Turlough played by Mark Strickson together as of 2013. However, there have been subsequent stories featuring Turlough, Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka together.
Publisher's summary
Russia, the near future.
The Somnus Foundation knows the fate of mankind; they promise a tomorrow where humanity will evolve into a godlike form of infinite power. They will lead us there, to a destiny that spans the stars. This is how the future will unfold.
The Doctor knows the fate of mankind; the human race is destined to fight and struggle for their very existence, to survive disaster and war and carve an empire from an unforgiving universe. He has seen it with his own eyes. This is how the future will unfold.
Beneath the towering headquarters of the Somnus, in the streets of Moscow a dark power is building, and a conspiracy that stretches across eternity is nearing completion.
Time is fracturing and the Doctor and Turlough are at the heart of the chaos. History is about to change and the galaxy will burn in its wake...
