Thicker Than Water
From The Back Cover...

Three years after Világ was all but laid waste by the Killorans, the Doctor is back alongside a different companion. And a lot has changed.

Now elected Principle Triumvir, head of a tripartite government, Rossiter is working to secure a peaceful future for the planet by researching the technology the Killorans left behind. But he has to contend with opposition from his daughter, Sofia, who heads a public campaign demanding the destruction of all alien artefacts.

Politics has caused a rift between father and daughter, and as if that weren't enough, Sofia doesn't approve of her new step-mother either. Emotions soon boil over into violence, a violence that seems to have gripped the entire city.

Friendships bind people close, but they say that blood is...

Comments

This is Paul Sutton's second script for Big Finish, a direct sequel to his 2004 debut Arrangements For War. It also marks the first time that Edward Salt, who previously has been limited to single CD plays, has directed one of the main Doctor Who titles.

Like producer Gary Russell's novel Instruments Of Darkness this story apparently sees the Doctor and Mel meet up with Evelyn sometime after she departed the TARDIS.
