The Two Masters was the two hundred and thirteenth story in Big Finish's monthly range. It featured the Seventh Doctor and two incarnations of the Master, as played by Geoffrey Beevers and Alex Macqueen. It was the third and final part of a "Multi-Master" trilogy.
Publisher's summary
The future is dying. All over the universe, gaps are beginning to appear. From the space lanes terrorised by the rag-tag remnants of the once-mighty Rocket Men, to the empire of the Gorlans, stricken by a terrible civil war. Gaps in space/time, portents of the end of everything.
Only three beings might prevent it. The Doctor, a renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey. The Decayed Master, another renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey. And another Master, yet another renegade Time Lord from Gallifrey.
One Doctor. Two Masters. What could possibly go wrong?
