Brotherhood of the Daleks (audio story)

 was the one hundred and fourteenth monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions. It was the third audio story to feature the Sixth Doctor and Charlotte Pollard line-up of Doctor and companion.

Publisher's summary
The TARDIS makes a return trip to the jungle planet of Spiridon, when the Sixth Doctor and Charley fall in with a lost platoon of shellshocked Thal soldiers - victims of a sneak attack by their blood enemies, the Daleks.

Besieged by deadly flora, surrounded by invisible monsters, and with all hope of rescue gone, the Thals are the victims of a grim experiment in psychological warfare.

With the very nature of reality under threat, the Doctor and Charley need each other more than ever. But dark forces are conspiring to tear them apart...
