Shockwave
by James Swallow
2013
The Seventh Doctor and Ace are caught in a race to escape the destruction of Tarsus Six and the shockwave that follows. It is an anniversary-era Doctor Who audio with urgent stakes.
Series background & context
Destiny of the Doctor was an anniversary audio range, with each release focusing on a different Doctor while feeding into a larger arc. It is built to celebrate the show's range rather than lock listeners into a long, difficult order.
James Swallow's Shockwave features the Seventh Doctor and Ace in a crisis around Tarsus Six and a destructive shockwave. That pairing suits a story with danger, secrets, and the Doctor thinking several steps ahead.
If you like Ace and the Seventh Doctor, this is the reason to start. The wider range is fun as a tour through Doctor Who history, but each entry still has its own adventure shape.
