Publisher's summary
After an accident, the TARDIS lands on a luxury star-liner. Leaving their ship to repair itself, the Doctor, Leela and K9 find themselves facing a great terror: mingling at a cocktail party.
Something seems awry behind the pleasantries, however. Guests are going missing, and equipment is breaking down. When the Doctor investigates further he discovers that the star-liner is literally on course for disaster.
But no-one seems surprised by this information, still less troubled. What's going on? And can the Doctor and his friends save everyone... when nobody wants to be saved?

Notes
- Uniquely for Big Finish, this story was recorded entirely over Zoom from each performer's home, as all were in self-isolation at this time in the COVID-19 crisis. Previously, individual cast members like John Barrowman had recorded their parts remotely, while the rest worked in studio. Recording for Shadow of the Sun took place on 31 March and 6 April 2020.
