Doctor Who - The New Eighth Doctor Adventures
The Zygon Who Fell to Earth	The Vengeance of Morbius

Sisters of the Flame was the seventh release of the second series of Big Finish Productions' The New Eighth Doctor Adventures audio stories. This audio featured a return of the planet Karn that last appeared in the 2002 novel Warmonger and was introduced in the 1976 television story The Brain of Morbius.

Publisher's summary Edit

The richest man in the galaxy has just bought a backwards planet with no obvious mineral wealth in the outer reaches of the universe. An obscure mystical sect has been revived after centuries of neglect. A new race of aliens are hunting for prey. Why?

As the Doctor and Lucie attempt to discover the answer, it becomes clear that someone is attempting to resurrect the past — and they need a Time Lord to help them achieve it.
