Same here. I'd love an audio Cinder. The question is... Who should play her? Discuss. Probably Athena Stamos. I mean, she's the closest thing we've got to an image of Cinder; Paul Hanley's art for the Doctor Who Legacy game is based on her appearance, I believe she's done in-character photoshoots and most of the fanart use her as reference too. Besides, from what I've seen, she's a fairly decent actress. |

But, from what I've seen on her social media, she seems to be quite invested and enthusiastic about the character, and the novel itself (so she knows the source material). Plus, she's a whovian, which is always a good thing. |

Full story Details online The Time War between Daleks and Time Lords rages across the history of the cosmos. Nowhere is safe. Worlds are ravaged by battles beyond their understanding, but certain other races hunger to fight in the ultimate conflict.
When Earth comes under threat, the War Doctor is drawn into Ollistra’s schemes once again. But the wily Time Lord Cardinal has not foreseen every move. The Dalek Time Strategist has its own game-pieces in play, and when unpredictable forces with their own agenda join the fray, no-one can predict how the war might turn…
3.1 The Shadow Vortex by David Llewellyn
Cardinal Ollistra exploits the War Doctor’s affection for Earth to send him to East Berlin, 1961, on the trail of a Dalek agent. Lara Zannis has breached the planet’s quantum shield on a very special mission for the Dalek Time Strategist.
Caught between MI6 and the KGB, the War Doctor must first escape the Stasi before he can hope to stop Lara. Cold War scientists are about to make a breakthrough – the Daleks want control of the ‘Shadow Vortex’, and Agent Zannis can provide it.
3.2 The Eternity Cage by Andrew Smith
Sontarans are the ultimate warriors – so they believe – and the Time War the ultimate conflict. Denied that glory by Skaro and Gallifrey alike, General Fesk of the Eighth Sontaran Battle Fleet employs a dangerous strategy to draw both sides to the planet Rovidia and prove his forces worthy…
Meanwhile, the War Doctor leads a rescue mission, aided by Rovidian street-urchin Kalan. Neither Daleks nor Time Lords expect the Sontarans to be so fearsome a foe, until they uncover the secret of the Eternity Cage.
3.3 Eye of Harmony by Ken Bentley
In the aftermath of events on Rovidia, the Dalek Time Strategist is presented with a unique opportunity to strike a lethal blow to the heart of Gallifrey. A devastating power is set to be unleashed, and with agents in place ready to do the bidding of the Dalek Time Strategist, the future of the Time War could turn in an instant.
Trapped inside a critically-damaged Battle-TARDIS, hopelessly adrift in the Time Vortex, the War Doctor and his allies have a final desperate fight on their hands...

I wonder what the Shadow Vortex is? Intriguing.

Non-comedy Sontarans are always appreciated.
I wonder what part, if any, the Ice Warriors played in the time war?

Non-comedy Sontarans are always appreciated. Then check out Starlight Robbery. There the Sontarans are played very seriously and show some mean military strategy instead of being all Dad's Army or being unable to recognise gender. |

Ice Warriors aren't as big on conquest as the Sontarans. It's usually about reclaiming or protecting their territory if they aren't displaced, or making another world their home when Mars is no longer habitable. It doesn't help that they need specific climatic conditions to survive. |

It doesn't help that they need specific climatic conditions to survive. I suppose that either side could offer to go back in time and stop them from losing Mars. I'm just not sure if the Ice Warriors are advanced enough for that to be worth it. |

Ooh, ooh! In my current head canon, they were offered alliances by both sides, but they believed it to be a dishonourable war and refused to fight, apart from a small group of radicals who were trying to convince their government to join. And now, we have the basis for a time war political story. It sounds a bit Doctor Who meets The Thick of It!  |

I'm going to call Cardinal Servelan out as a Dalek sleeper agent - the fact that in VoLTE 1 we cut straight from the Doctor saying the Time Lords using the Time Scoop to catch his TARDIS could have left Gallifrey's past open to attack to a scene of Ollistra shouting about how she "knows the Daleks" is just proof enough for me.

On the subject of Derek Jacobi's incarnation of the Master, I was browsing the Tardis wiki just now and it is stated: {Spoiler}
The Master was resurrected to fight in the Last Great Time War, due to the Time Lords' belief that he would be to the perfect warrior due to his savagery. (TV: The Sound of Drums) He was able to write out most of his involvement in the conflict. (COMIC: The Judas Goatee) He operated on the brain of his TARDIS during the War, which resulted in a chronal tumour portruding from one side of the console, (COMIC: The One) though he never activated the tumour for use. (COMIC: Running to Stay Still)
In the body of a small child, the Master teamed up with the War Doctor and his companion The Squire for a time, during the period of the War in which the Cyclors allied themselves with the Daleks. (COMIC: The Organ Grinder)
The Doctor and the Master travelled to Veestrax, where they saw a broken wall with "Exterminhate" written on it. The Master told the Doctor that he hadn't written it. The Doctor then asked for the Master's help with destroying the planet. (COMIC: Outrun)
He arrived on Golgalith with the Doctor asking what he intended to do. The Doctor replied "what I have to". (COMIC: The Then and the Now, The Organ Grinder)
The duo soon encountered the Volatix Cabal, together killing one of its members. They then encountered Alice Obiefune, who had travelled in the Master's TARDIS from after the War had ended. The Master set about tethering his future TARDIS to the Doctor's while the Squire set about saving Alice from the Volatix Tendrils.
With both TARDISes in tow, they travelled beneath the surface of Golgalith, where an Overcaste rebel base was located.
The Master and the Doctor revealed a Volatix spy in the group and neutralised him. The spy revealed that he had called for help and moments later a Cyclor tore off the roof of the base. (COMIC: The Organ Grinder)
Ultimately, the Master deemed the Doctor's plan too insane and fled the event horizon in his TARDIS before the Doctor's plans were carried out. (COMIC: The One)
The Master fought the Supreme Dalek on the slopes of the Never Vault, (TV: The Witch's Familiar) and was present when the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform. Frightened by the horror of the Time War, he ran away as far as he could, to the end of the universe, (TV: The Sound of Drums) where the Time Lords were forbidden to look. There, he used a chameleon arch to hide himself as a human named Yana. (TV: Utopia) Rassilon sent the War Doctor to find the Master, but he was unable to do so. (PROSE: Engines of War)
(I'm not sure if it is confirmed the boy is Jacobi's incarnation as I haven't read the comics, but the wiki lists it as such and the artwork certainly looks like the boy in the Series 3 finale flashback, so there's certainly a precadent for writers considering adventures for Jacobi's Master possible, and I'm sure Big Finish could find a way to do so, or even address the comic continuity if they wished) |
