Vesuvius Falling was the sixtieth Bernice Summerfield audio story released by Big Finish Productions. It was the first story of the Legion series.
Publisher's summary
Things aren't going great for Bernice Summerfield. Her one time comrade-cum-adversary, Irving Braxiatel, isn't the man she knew; her long-lost teenage son, Peter, isn't exactly pleased to see her; and she's woken up with one hell of a hangover...
But when an ancient and dormant spacecraft threatens the safety of Legion City, Bernice and Peter have to put their differences aside in order to investigate an inexplicable mystery involving time-travelling scientists, corporate espionage and simple, cold-blooded murder...
Can Benny discover the true killer before a warp core breach destroys them all? Can a five thousand-year-old body solve a murder yet to happen? And will the Vesuvius fall to the planet below...?
Plot
Although angry at Benny for undermining his reputation by telling stories about his childhood whilst drunk, Peter asks for her assistance with the Vesuvius, a spacecraft that left Clantis VII yesterday but, according to a radiation scan, is 5,000 years old. It is heading towards Legion City and he wants her help determining whether it is safe to destroy it. She and Ruth join him in boarding the ship and find a dozen cryo-units.
The trio find the body of Sheira Rynn and the automatic resuscitation system begins. They take Mortan Hardak and Rickard Karne to the medical bay, but Peter, believing that one of them is a murderer, refuses to take them to Legion City until they find out what has happened. When Rickard finds out that Sheira is dead, he accuses Mortan as he was the last to enter suspended animation and tries to get the computer to show the last recording of her, but the footage has been corrupted and he orders the ship to enter lockdown.
