Synopsis

A vicious war between two nations is coming to a head, and the final movements are centred on the sailing ship Cassandra. Along with a very strange cargo, Cassandra carries Captain Colley, a man with his own sad burden, and the paranoid General Brennan, a woman convinced that her actions will end the war once and for all. Their grim mission goes entirely to plan, until the Cassandra gains an extra passenger a shipwrecked archaeology professor by the name of Bernice Summerfield.

Sensing something is very wrong aboard the ship, Bernice’s snooping brings her close to a terrible truth. Soon, Bernice doesn’t know who to trust, and she can no longer be sure if anyone is who they claim to be…

Notes

The Secret of Cassandra was the seventh Bernice Summerfield audio story produced by Big Finish Productions.
Two covers exist for this audio. The original is semi-photographic and features Lisa Bowerman’s face. The second is a pure illustration by Adrian Salmon. Following this story, for a number of series, all audio covers were designed by Salmon. In the 2010s, however, Big Finish returned to mainly photographic covers, rendering moot the effort to “standardise” Bernice Summerfield covers.
This audio drama was recorded on 26 August 2000.
