It seems the Doctor's deadliest foes have woven a tangled web indeed. And in order to defeat them, he must cross the forbidden barriers of time and walk into the very centre of their latest, most outlandish scheme of conquest.

== Notes ==
* This audio story was previewed in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' [[DWM 380|issue 380]] with an illustration by [[Martin Geraghty]].
* This is the first Big Finish ''Doctor Who'' release to feature the new cover design of the main cover art on the right, with the story's title and an image of the Doctor on the left. This sidebar format would be used consistently until ''[[The Lure of the Nomad (audio story)|The Lure of the Nomad]]'' in 2018.

* Nyssa says she was in Rhodes in 1320, while the Doctor later says it was 1310. Given the Doctor has a better knowledge of Earth's history than Nyssa, and the fact the real life Knights Hospitaller took over Rhodes in 1310, as is depicted here, 1310 is the most likely date for this to be set.
* This story is set between ''[[Time-Flight (TV story)|Time-Flight]]'' and ''[[Arc of Infinity (TV story)|Arc of Infinity]]''.

Following the second Dalek invasion of Earth, Lucie used the interocitor to leave a message for the Doctor, requesting his assistance. However, due to the interference of his fellow [[Renegade Time Lord|renegade]] [[Time Lord]] [[the Monk]], the Doctor arrived on Earth three years into the [[Dalek]] occupation. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Lucie Miller (audio story)|Lucie Miller]]'' / ''[[To the Death (audio story)|To the Death]]'')
