The Judgement of Isskar (audio story)
The Judgement of Isskar is the first of The Key 2 Time audio stories, featuring a new companion, Amy, played by Ciara Janson opposite Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor.
Publisher's summary
A new adventure in time and space for the Fifth Doctor and his new companion, Amy, as they search for the Key to Time.
On a planet where Time stands still, the Doctor meets a woman who is just a few minutes old. She is a Tracer, sent into our Universe by her makers to locate the six segments of the Key to Time. This being without a name wants the Doctor to be her assistant, but she doesn’t tell him the whole truth. Not at first.
Their first port of call is Mars, where a society that one day will become Ice Warriors lives in peace and civility. But the Doctor’s arrival will change all that. The universe is dying, a choice must be made, and the Judgement of Isskar will be declared. The price must be paid - even if it takes centuries…
