The Jabari Countdown was the third story in the audio anthology The Seventh Doctor: The New Adventures: Volume One. It was written by Alan Flanagan and featured Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor, Yasmin Bannerman as Roz Forrester and Travis Oliver as Chris Cwej.
Publisher's summary
Arriving on a mysterious island, stranded with a group of mathematicians, the Doctor and his companions find themselves on the fringes of the Second World War. Trapped with only each other and an unknown threat, the group must work together to solve a puzzle greater than just one world's war.
Plot
After his boat is wrecked, a man washes up on an island and knocks on the door of a house, asking for Christian charity. There is no answer so he enters and encounters a creature which growls at him. He screams and shouts for help.
Chris tries to make Roz play hide and seek in the TARDIS, but Roz thinks that he is being childish and refuses. The TARDIS is thrown off-course by an alien signal and materialises on a ship in the 1940s where they meet Zsa Zsa Straus, Alpha Wheeler, Eleanor Blake and Lieutenant Fray and determine that a secret operation to defeat the Nazis with mathematics is in place with each of those aboard having followed clues which led them here. Everybody is forced to jump from the ship and swim to shore, abandoning the TARDIS, after which they head for the house.
The Doctor looks around the house with Alpha and, upon finding a corpse in the pantry, has Alpha fetch Roz and Chris. Whilst examining the body, which has 1926 written on his hand, they hear Zsa Zsa scream and go to help her, finding that she has been attacked. Alpha and Wheeler join them, followed by Eleanor, who has solved a puzzle to a numerical lock that she and Chris found. Roz goes outside with Zsa Zsa for fresh air whilst the others open the numerical lock; a timer is activated and the windows are sealed, but not before the Doctor can get a TARDIS key to Roz.
