*Susan's War*
← Previous	Next →
The Golden Child	The Voord Alliance

The Last of the Kaleds was the first story in the audio anthology Grandfather Time, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by David Llewellyn and featured Carole Ann Ford as Susan, Damian Lynch as Rasmus and Jonathon Carley as the War Doctor.

Publisher's summary[]

Using his deniable asset, Rasmus takes Susan along with the War Doctor to a mysterious enclave to seek an alliance. As Susan comes to terms with her grandfather's future persona, they uncover plots and counter-plots. Kaledon is a splinter of Skaro's own distant timeline - but some histories are inevitable.
