Terror of the Sontarans (audio story)

Terror of the Sontarans was the two hundred and third story in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by John Dorney and Dan Starkey and featured Sylvester McCoy as the Seventh Doctor and Bonnie Langford as Melanie Bush.

Publisher's summary
Once it was a mining facility. Then later its corridors rang with screams generated by grotesque military experiments. However when the Doctor and Mel arrive on a hostile alien world after detecting a distress signal, the base they find themselves in is almost deserted.

But not for long. Soon the Doctor's old enemies, the Sontarans, have landed, and are searching for the remnants of their previous research team. Before long they uncover evidence of strange occurrences on the planet. Of madness and death.

They are warriors bred for war, strong of spirit and unafraid of death. To fear the enemy is an act of betrayal. Nothing holds terror for the Sontarans.
