Philip and Alexander of Macedon transformed a weak kingdom in
northern Greece into a globe-spanning empire. In so doing, they
changed the course of history. By the end of his short life,
Alexander the Great had eclipsed the power of Persia, crossed the
Hindu Kush and marched into what is now Pakistan, redrawing the map
of the ancient world to create an empire that stretched from the
Adriatic Sea to the Indian subcontinent. But his success was not
just the product of his own genius and restless energy, it was
built on decades of effort by his father. History has portrayed
Philip II of Macedon as an old man, one-eyed and limping, whose
convenient assassination allowed Alexander the Great to come to
power. However, there was far more to him than this. Through
decades of hard fighting and clever diplomacy, Philip unified his
country and conquered Greece. His son inherited all of this at the
perfect moment and age for him to chance his luck and win greater
glory. Between them, Philip and Alexander played a key role in
spreading Greek language and culture over a vast area, the
consequences of which were many and profound, for it led to the New
Testament being written in Greek, and a Greek-speaking 'Roman'
empire surviving in the eastern Mediterranean for a thousand years
after the last emperor to rule from Italy. As authoritative as it
is accessible, Philip and Alexander is the latest in a much-praised
sequence of essential ancient histories from Adrian Goldsworthy; it
is the work of a master historian at the peak of his powers. Praise
for Philip and Alexander: 'A thrilling read, as sweeping as
Alexander's conquests' TOM HOLLAND 'Sterling scholarship, engaging
prose, insightful analysis and unbiased assessment' VICTOR DAVID
HANSON 'History-writing at its best. Expert, fluent and vivid'

shop dummy and the fight is on to see who will replace him. Yvonne

“One may tolerate a world of demons for the sake of an
angel”—Jean-Antoninette (“Reinette”) Poisson, aka Madame de
Pompadour, “The Girl in the Fireplace” What a world of demons
Doctor Who has presented us with over the past seven decades: from
Daleks and Cybermen to Weeping Angels and the Silence, the greatest
villains of the Who-niverse have achieved an iconic status all
their own, cementing themselves in the minds of millions of viewers
(why else would Parker Brothers have devised a version of Monopoly
after them?). If, as the Seventh Doctor once said, "You can always
judge a man by the quality of his enemies,” the Doctor is great
indeed, rescuing the universe time and again from some of the most
formidable and terrifying villains in science fiction history. Now,
for the first time, an entire anthology of essays is dedicated to
deconstructing this gallery of blackguards. Who are the greatest
Who villains of all time? Why are they so frightening?
And—apologies to Shakespeare—what do they tell us about the
villainy of our own fears?

Jenny is brand new to the universe. Born a soldier, made for war,
she has a Time Lord’s heritage. Luckily, that Time Lord is the
Doctor. She’s ready to save planets, fight monsters, and save the
day, using nothing but her bravery, wit and instinct – and an
awful lot of running. 1.1 Stolen Goods by Matt Fitton. Jenny is new
to the universe and keen to explore – but in unfamiliar
spaceships, accidents happen. She’s lucky to have someone on-hand
to help. A slippery, fast-talking someone, called Garundel. Soon,

with fear. Half the oppressed population live in an addicted
stupor, while the other half are forced into service. Factories

arrive, it’s only a matter of time before they start a
revolution. 1.4 Zero Space by Adrian Poynton. Out in deep space, in
the middle of –quite literally –nowhere, Jenny and Noah believe

London, 2005. Yvonne Hartman is the undisputed head of Torchwood
One. Above the government, beyond the police, she has excellent
people skills; enjoys regular tea with the Queen; and effortlessly
defends the British Empire from alien threats. Yvonne Hartman is
excellent at her job, and inspires devotion in everyone who works
with her - until, one day, she makes a terrible mistake. We all
make mistakes. But only at Torchwood can a single mistake plunge
your world into interstellar war. Yvonne Hartman's facing the fight
of her life. One she's going to win. Torchwood has now been in
existence for 10 years from its debut in 2006 as a Doctor Who
spin-off created by top TV producer and writer Russell T Davies.
Torchwood has appeared on both UK and US television, BBC radio
productions, novels, and now - courtesy of Big Finish - in new
audio plays. Torchwood One was first referenced in the hugely-rated
modern Doctor Who stories Army of Ghosts and Doomsday. This is the
first look at the London-based team before those events. Writer
Joseph Lidster not only adds another Big Finish Torchwood script to
his CV, but wrote for the original TV series too.C AST: Tracy-Ann

London,1864 - where any gentleman befitting the title 'gentleman'
belongs to a gentlemen's club: The Reform, The Athenaeum, The
Carlton, The Garrick...and, of course, The Contingency. Newly
established in St James', The Contingency become the most exclusive
enclave in town. A refuge for men of politics, men of science, men
of letters. A place to escape. A place to think. A place to be
free. The first rule of the Contingency is to behave like a
gentleman. The second is to pay no heed to its oddly identical
servants. Or to the horror in its cellars. Or to the existence of
the secret gallery on its upper floor...Rules that the Doctor,
Adric, Nyssa and Tegan are all about to break. The Contingency Club
reunites the 1982 Doctor Who TARDIS crew for Peter Davison's Fifth
Doctor - Adric (Matthew Waterhouse), Tegan (Janet Fielding) and
Nyssa (Sarah Sutton). Director Barnaby Edwards is not only an
overworked director for Big Finish productions, but on top of many
audiobook voice-over duties, he's also the main Dalek operator in
TV's Doctor Who. Clive Merrison's rich voice brought the longest

the edge of the Milky Way, housing one of the most impressive
observatories ever constructed. But the TARDIS arrives to find
Gallius U in a state of emergency, tracking the return of the
Explorer-class ship Johannes Kepler from its mission into the heart
of the mysterious Large Magellanic Cloud. A mission that met with
disaster...To find out what overtook the crew of the Johannes
Kepler, the Doctor and his companions must journey into the heart
of the Cloud...and beyond, into the darkness of another reality
altogether. The universe of the Star Men. The Star Men marks the
first of a trilogy of stories reuniting the 1982 TARDIS crew for
Peter Davison's Fifth Doctor - Adric (Matthew Waterhouse), Tegan
(Janet Fielding) and Nyssa (Sarah Sutton). Director Barnaby Edwards
is not only an overworked director for Big Finish productions, but
on top of many audiobook voice-over duties, he's also the main

dramatic role in this story, but is best known for playing Boycie's
wife Marlene in much-loved sitcoms Only Fools and Horses and The

Donna Noble has come home. But she's about to be whisked away by
aliens - and they're not as friendly as the Doctor! After the
trauma of the Library, Donna wants a break, to see old friends and
family, to remind herself of normality. Only Donna's new normal
involves trips through time and space and visiting alien worlds. So
when she and BFF Nat start looking into strange abductions, they
are dragged into a whole new universe of trouble... 1. Out of this
World by Jacqueline Rayner. Donna's home, but she's not quite
herself. Sylvia has some ideas to bring her out of herself -
involving an old friend, and speed-dating... As schoolgirl BFFs
Donna and Natalie get reacquainted, a mysterious stranger dogs
their steps. Is the Doctor keeping tabs on her, or is the truth far
more sinister? 2. Spinvision by John Dorney. Donna and Nat have
been stolen - along with the TARDIS - and they find themselves
crashlanding on an alien world. On the planet Valdacki a very
successful invasion is already underway. And it's one that has the
very best PR. 3. The Sorcerer of Albion by James Goss. Trying to
get home, Donna and Nat end up in the right place at the wrong time
- the Middle Ages! A monastery is under siege from the Burning
Knights, and the great Sorcerer Parval calls on the assistance of
another great mage. He has summoned Merlin herself - or as Nat
knows her, Donna Noble! 4. The Chiswick Cuckoos by Matt Fitton.
Donna's home, but she's not quite herself. Sylvia couldn't be more
pleased to see her daughter finally getting on with her life. But
an alien plot is nearing completion, and the world needs saving.
The Doctor is nowhere to be found, so it's all up to Donna - and
Nat! CAST: Catherine Tate (Donna Noble), Jacqueline King (Sylvia
Noble), Niky Wardley (Natalie), Sebastian Armesto (Garrison),

(Dennis), Lydia West (Vivien). Other parts played by members of the
cast.
On the planet Cicero Prime, the kingdom of Cardenas is divided,
with the whole population forced to swear allegiance to either the
effete Duke or the fiery, hard-edged Duchess. This is a situation
both parties have grown tired of. What use is half a kingdom when,
thanks to a carefully engineered murder, you could have it all?
Surely, neither of them would be rash enough to summon the deadly
off-world assassin The Scorpion to help with their problem? And
surely, this terrifying figure wouldn't arrive wearing a long cream
coat and striped trousers...? Big Finish have been producing Doctor
Who audios since 1999, starring Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin
