The Invasion of E-Space was the fourth story in the fifth series of The Companion Chronicles, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Andrew Smith, narrated by Lalla Ward and featured the Fourth Doctor, Romana II and Adric.
It was also the first story in any medium to be set within the E-Space trilogy since the short story O, Darkness in 2004.
Publisher's summary
Trapped within E-Space, the Doctor, Romana and Adric are searching for a Charged Vacuum Emboitment — the gateway back to our universe. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Then, by pure chance, a brand new CVE rips into being. Its makers are the Farrian, a warlike race who have the technology to break into E-Space. They have come to invade and plunder this new territory, and the riches of the planet Ballustra are their first target.
