Revision as of 22:37, 20 December 2011
The Invasion of E-Space was the fourth instalment in the fifth series of The Companion Chronicles. It was the first story in any medium to be set within the E-Space trilogy since the Fourth Doctor segment of EDA: The Eight Doctors in 1997. It was written by Andrew Smith, who opened the arc with DW: Full Circle in 1980.
Synopsis
Trapped within E-Space, the Doctor, Romana and Adric are searching for a Charged Vacuum Emboitment – the gateway back to our universe. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Then, by pure chance, a brand new CVE rips into being. Its makers are The Farrian, a warlike race who have the technology to break into E-Space. They have come to invade and plunder this new territory, and the riches of the planet Ballustra are their first target.
