This CD was actually released in March but I was not only late in ordering a copy but had a note from Big Finish that they were out of stock but it would follow. True to their word it finally arrived last week and I have just finished listening to this great new addition to my collection.
After so many stories featuring the Daleks in recent months it was a refreshing change to see the return of the Doctor's either long term enemies the Cybermen. Some of my friends and fellow fans find these former human hybrids more frightening than the Daleks but even as a kid it was only the Daleks that really scared me!
Nevertheless these emotionless creatures do as usual present a real threat to humanity and as the Doctor (played by Tom Baker) with his companions Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan return to the space station Nerva eventually discover. There is a mysterious plague that has killed off most of the crew and left the station in quarantine.
as usual the Doctor and his companions face death at the hands of the Captain in a disposal room (think Star Wars) but are saved at the last minute. After being released Sarah Jane is bitten and contracts the plague. Who or what is behind this plague.
The Cybermen of course! (It's in the title......)
