UNIT - The New Series: 8. Incursions (CD)

Threats to our planet come in many forms. Some are alien visitations, some lay dormant in the Earth itself, and occasionally, danger arrives with a big gun and fantastic hair. Whatever the threat, whoever the enemy, UNIT is ready to defend the world. 8.1 This Sleep of Death by Jonathan Morris. Abbey Marston. UNIT’s dark secret. A place where the laws of space and time, life and death, can be suspended. Where remembering the departed has consequence. When UNIT faces a threat from a dead man, Kate has no choice but to return to Abbey Marston once more, to disturb the sleep of death. But the Static are waiting… 8.2 Tempest by Lisa McMullin. When the planet’s weather systems start behaving strangely, Osgood is worried. Soon, she and Sam Bishop are heading to a remote Scottish island where an eccentric old woman speaks to the wind itself. Meanwhile, Kate Stewart visits a deep-sea oil-rig where strange things are afoot. A tempest is coming, and it could be disaster for the entire world. 8.3. & 8.4 The Power of River Song by Guy Adams. Part 1: UNIT has been assigned to monitor the switch-on of a revolutionary new power system – they know from experience such things can be tricky. Nearby, Osgood and Lieutenant Bishop investigate mysterious disappearances - and appearances of trans-temporal phenomena. Kate would like to ask the Director some questions, but she’s proving strangely elusive… until there’s a murder. Part 2: There’s a dead body in the power station. River Song is the prime suspect. And Kate is most concerned by the identity of the victim. Meanwhile, Sam and Jacqui chase Vikings, while Osgood finds herself out of time. As deadly focus their attention on Earth, it seems activating the power of River Song could spell the end of everything...
