The Darkening Eye (audio story)

The Darkening Eye was the sixth story in the third series of The Companion Chronicles. It broke the unwritten rules of The Companion Chronicles by featuring Nyssa relating an adventure with the Fifth Doctor. Typically, the range dealt with incarnations of the Doctor whose actors were not able or willing to participate in monthly Doctor Who releases. Nyssa was the Fifth Doctor's most constant audio companion, so her inclusion in this range was unusual at the time. However, Turlough, Peri Brown, Evelyn Smythe, Ace, Bernice Summerfield and Charley Pollard each later appeared in at least one Companion Chronicle.

Publisher's summary
While investigating a debris-littered battlefield in deep space, the TARDIS crew are salvaged by an ancient race of collectors known as Dar Traders.

Separated from the Doctor after an accident, Adric, Tegan and Nyssa find themselves at the mercy of the Traders’ curiosity. But the Traders have salvaged a cabinet from the battle that could be very dangerous indeed.

What does the suave assassin, Damasin Hyde, know of the cabinet? And why is everybody so interested in the missing Time Lord?

To find the Doctor, the TARDIS crew will have to enter a violent inter-planetary war. Where someone will die, and it will change everything.
