About this episode
A mysterious crash in the Nevada desert. An unconscious alien whispering warnings. A mercenary warlord demanding a device that could save—or doom—the Earth. When the Doctor, Kathy, and Kevin trace a wormhole to 1982, they find themselves caught between a terrified refugee and an approaching invasion force capable of wiping out the planet. As the U.S. military scrambles to respond, monsters phase into reality, a massive warship darkens the sky, and an old enemy returns with a deadly ultimatum. What is the Crucible? Why does everyone want it? And how far will the Doctor go to protect a world that doesn’t even trust him? “The Crucible of Terror” is a sweeping, high-tension Doctor Who Audio Dramas adventure filled with alien intrigue, military stand-offs, time-twisting technology, and a personal reckoning from Kathy’s past. A universe-spanning threat. A desperate chase. And one impossible choice that could change everything.
