Publisher's summary
The Universe is in a state of crisis, facing destruction from the results of a strange spatio-temporal event. And the Doctor is involved in three different incarnations - each caught up in a deadly adventure, scattered across time and space.
The whole of creation is threatened - and someone is hunting the Doctor. The three incarnations of the Doctor must join together to confront their implacable pursuer - but in doing so will they unleash a still greater threat?

Notes
- This was the final release in Big Finish Productions' Monthly Range of audio dramas, which had been running consistently since 1999. To reflect this, the summary given for this story was very similar to the one given for The Sirens of Time, the first release in the range, where the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors were given their own individual episodes before joining together in the final episode.
- Part 1 of the story was released for free for subscribers of Big Finish's email newsletter, a week before the rest was available to order.
- This story was remote recorded on 15 and 20 October 2020.
- While Lisa Greenwood doesn't feature, Flip is travelling with the Sixth Doctor and Constance in their individual episode of the story but is comatose and hospitalised and, thus, doesn't speak.
