The Sky Man
Derek Jacobi (The Master), Jonny Green (Cole Jarnish), Emily Barber (Elidh), Robert Daws (Anvar)
When his new companion decides to save a planet, The Master indulges this most futile of requests. Materialising on a primitive, agrarian world, both the strangers quickly find their place in it… until fallout from the War invades their happy paradise.
The Sky Man was the third story in the audio anthology Only the Good, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by James Goss and featured Derek Jacobi as The Master and Jonny Green as Cole Jarnish.

“The War Master is Big Finish doing what they do best. Well crafted stories superbly acted from a world we only glimpsed on . Simply wonderful.” Tin Dog
“A series of evil and consequence, an engaging take on the Time War, where virtually everything is on the line and you can’t even trust the main protagonist. It’s entertaining, deadly and unpredictable” The Host Productions
“It seems like Big Finish have created a real gem in the Whoniverse in this War Master box set. (on the Sky Man) It’s fun, sinister, murderous and insane. Much like The Master.” – Gallifrey Archive
“The phrase tour de force gets used a lot in relation to acting performances but Sir Derek Jacobi proved why he earned his knighthood” – SciFi Pulse
“… never lacks for pace, getting your heart racing… You’ll be waving flags and placards demanding more from the War Master…” Mass Movement
