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...

Notes

• Unintentionally or not, Natalina Pushkin is also the name of the second in command of the Holoship in the Red Dwarf episode "Holoship"
• The phrases "instrumentality of mankind" and "death and rebirth," as well as the goal of the Somnus Foundation, appear to be references to the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion and the Human Instrumentality Project from that series.
• This would be the final audio drama released in the main range featuring Turlough until BFA: Cobwebs in July 2010.

Continuity

• Attempts by time travelling humans from the far future to kill their ancestors also occurred in London in the 1890s (JAL: The Spirit Trap) and all over Earth in 2008 (DW: The Sound of Drums).
