The Heavenly Paradigm	The Glittering Prize

Call for the Dead was the first story in the audio anthology The Master of Callous, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by James Goss and featured Derek Jacobi as the Master.

Publisher's summary Edit

On the mining colony Callous, Elliot King struggles to meet the demands of its governor, Teremon. The odds are stacked against him, and his options are running low. The world that once promised dreams now offers only despair.

A wild Ood stalks the forests, carrying an antiquated phone. The caller promises much – he claims he can change the world – but he always speaks a devastating truth.

He is the Master and the Ood will obey him... but to what end?
