The Architects of History (audio story)
Synopsis
The year is 2044. Earth is enjoying a Golden Age of peace, prosperity and technological advancement… but somebody is plotting to destroy all that. The Selachians, shark-like alien monsters, launch a crippling attack on Earth’s Moonbase, using deadly weapons from the future. Help is at hand. A police telephone box appears in a Moonbase hangar. A time-travelling hero has returned in the hour of Earth’s greatest need. Now, Elizabeth Klein must fight to save not only the Galactic Reich but Time itself from the mysterious prisoner who has orchestrated these fateful events... the Doctor.

Story notes
- The Selachians previously appeared in the Second Doctor novel PDA: The Final Sanction, also written by Steve Lyons.
- Steve Lyons is also the author of BFA : Colditz and the original creator of the character of Klein.
- Lloyd McGuire played Lugo in The Face of Evil.
- Lenora Crichlow played Cheen in Gridlock.
- Klein has managed to bring about the defeat of the Sontarans and the Daleks in her new reality. Dalek technology has been integrated into the Reich ships.
- It is unknown to what extent the events of this audio drama alter the events of the previous stories involving Klein. Her absence must have changed things quite drastically. The "new" Klein does mention the Doctor's visits to Kenya in 1953 and Colditz Castle in 1944, so the events of Colditz and A Thousand Tiny Wings must not have been completely erased.
