Doctor Who: Empire of Death

15th Doctor Novelisation

Susan Twist reads this brand new novelisation of a recent TV adventure.

What's gotten into the TARDIS?
Enlisting UNIT in their search for an enigmatic woman who appears all throughout time and space, the Doctor and Ruby uncover deeper mysteries.
What is the secret of Susan Triad? What happened on the night that Ruby was born? The answers lead the Doctor and Ruby to a horrifying confrontation with the greatest evil of all.

Russell T Davies’ epic two-part finale of Ncuti Gatwa’s first season as the Fifteenth Doctor is novelised by series script editor Scott Handcock, reinstating material from earlier drafts. It also concludes the TARDIS travels of Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson. Reader Susan Twist played Susan Triad in the TV series.

Reading produced by Niall Hegarty. Sound design by David Darlington. Executive Producer for BBC Studios: Michael Stevens
