The Doctor and his great-grandson Alex have been driven apart. In an uncharted universe, the Time War is on a very different path. A new force rules Gallifrey and will stop at nothing to gain the military advantage.
As Alex and Cass career through the cosmos in a stolen TARDIS, The Doctor is in hot pursuit, with a duplicitous Friend by his side…
7.1 Spoil of War by Mark Wright
Alex and Cass arrive at a sinister stately home to find they are expected… Guests are assembling for an exclusive auction, but what unique item are they bidding on? And who will profit?
The Doctor and Hieronyma Friend are on Alex and Cass’s trail – The Doctor will find them, whatever the cost.
7.2 The Tale of Alex by Katharine Armitage
The hero Alex is known throughout the cosmos as the saviour of planets and righter of wrongs. So, when he lands on the starving world of Igg, the locals feel all their prayers have been answered.
But Alex’s greatest enemy is hot on his tail, and the villainous Doctor has plans of his own.
7.3 See-Saw by James Moran
Cass and Alex pick up a distress signal that takes them to 1920s London. But the city is deserted, as if abandoned mere seconds ago.
The Doctor and Friend arrive at the same time, in the same place – but neither pair can see or hear one another… Why can they hear unfinished nursery rhymes? And what happens if they complete them?
7.4 The First Forest by Tim Foley
A long time ago, before the Time Lords ever left their shores, they imagined what lay beyond them.
When the Doctor crash-lands in a weird woodland, surrounded by friends and enemies, he will discover he has travelled further than his people could possibly imagine.

Paul McGann, Sonny McGann, and Emma Campbell-Jones race across the stars in Time War – Uncharted: Pursuit, a brand-new box set of full-cast audio drama, released today.
The Chase is On
Following on from the dramatic climax of last year’s box set Time War – Uncharted: Reflections, The Doctor’s great-grandson Alex (Sonny McGann) has stolen the TARDIS and is travelling with Cass Fermazzi (Emma Campbell-Jones) through an uncharted universe of myth and shifting reality.
That story continues in Time War – Uncharted: Pursuit, a box set comprising four brand-new hour-long episodes of thrilling audio drama.
The Doctor (Paul McGann), having been turned against Alex and Cass, is hot on their trail, with help from Hieronyma Friend. This duplicitous temporal diplomat has a habit of wearing the faces of the Doctor’s old companions, and in this volume is voiced by Niky Wardley and Lizzie Hopley (who previously played Tamsin Drew and Gemma Griffin).
As the Time War rages on in this unpredictable universe, with a new force ruling Gallifrey, the two time-travelling pairs race towards an almighty clash – but who will be hit hardest by the fallout?
Doctor Who: Time War – Uncharted: Pursuit is now available to purchase from just £24.99 (download to own) or £30.99 (download to own + collector’s edition 4-disc CD box set), exclusively here. Please note: the collector’s edition CD box set is strictly limited to 1,500 copies and will not be repressed.

When The Doctor crash-lands in a weird woodland, surrounded by friends and enemies, he will discover he has travelled further than his people could possibly imagine.
Time War – Uncharted: Pursuit also stars Dan Starkey as the Sontarans, as well as Wanda Opalinska, Louise Faulkner, Sam Stafford, Indra Ové, Vineeta Rishi, Felicity Cant, Clive Hayward, and John Ramm.
Paul McGann said: “There’s a slow dawning and a realisation through the story; The Doctor, despite having tried to do good, becomes the villain of the piece. It’s a morality tale. Those cracks, the vulnerabilities of the Doctor – we don’t want to hear it all the time, but when it happens, it matters!”
Sonny McGann added: “Alex has hijacked the TARDIS, he’s convinced Cass to go along with him. And he’s determined to try and prove himself as good as the Doctor, if not better. It’s definitely a fool’s plan, and he’s bound to blunder his way through it. But he’s determined to make something good of a pretty rough situation he’s found himself in.”
And Emma Campbell-Jones said: “At the beginning, Cass is in an almighty huff with Alex for having nicked the TARDIS and doesn’t trust his piloting abilities or choices and decisions at all. She’s really cross with him. And that lasts for a while. They have this see-saw thing, Alex and Cass, about who saves the day and who takes charge and who has the right idea.”
