      Zbrusu nový příběh o Sherlocku Holmesovi z pera oceňovaného autora série Newbury & Hobbes. Na dveře bytu Sherlocka Holmese a Dr. Watsona na Baker Street zaklepe mladý muž jménem Peter Maugham. Maughamův strýc nedávno zemřel po nešťastném pádu ze schodů a jeho závěť se vytratila. Maugham se proto obává, že přijde o dědictví a v brzké době se ocitne zcela bez prostředků. Sherlock, jehož případ zaujme, souhlasí, že si ho vezme na starosti. Zatímco se Holmes a Watson noří hluboko do kalné minulosti rodiny Maughamových, dochází v Londýně k sérii vloupání tajuplných železných mužů, kteří násilím vnikají do domovů bohaté smetánky a odnášejí si jejich nejcennější majetek. Dokáže Holmes vyřešit oba případy dříve, než někdo zemře?

      "I've had many faces. Many lives. I don't admit to all of them. There's one life I've tried very hard to forget-the Doctor who fought in the Time War." The Great Time War has raged for centuries, ravaging the universe. The Daleks and the Time Lords deploy ever more dangerous weapons in desperate attempts at victory, but there is no end in sight. On the outer rim of the Tantalus Eye, scores of human colony planets are now overrun by Dalek occupation forces. A weary, angry Doctor leads a flotilla of Battle TARDISes against the Dalek stronghold but in the midst of the carnage, the Doctor's TARDIS crashes to a planet below: Moldox. As the Doctor is trapped in an apocalyptic landscape, Dalek patrols roam amongst the wreckage, rounding up the remaining civilians. But why haven't the Daleks simply killed the humans? Searching for answers, the Doctor meets 'Cinder', a young Dalek hunter. Their struggles to discover the Dalek plan take them from the ruins of Moldox to the halls of Gallifrey and set in chain events that will change everything. And everyone.

    • After being thought dead for nearly a century, Inquisitor Astor Sabbathiel returns to a world she barely recognizes, facing mistrust and a daunting future only she can prevent. The last thing she remembers is being shot at point-blank range during a warp storm in the Calaphrax Cluster. Awakening on a distant Ecclesiarchy stronghold, she finds herself indebted to a magos named Metik, who has resurrected her. Shortly after, she is summoned by high-ranking Inquisitor Heldren on the planet Hulth, who reveals that her former conclave no longer trusts her. To regain their confidence, Sabbathiel must undertake a mission that unveils a secret agenda threatening the Imperium. As she pieces together her fragmented past to navigate the present's mysteries, she must act swiftly and choose her allies carefully to avert disaster. The narrative explores themes of trust, redemption, and the struggle against a looming threat, all while Sabbathiel grapples with her identity and the challenges of her resurrection. Written by George Mann and narrated by Helen Keeley, this gripping tale unfolds over approximately 10 hours and 15 minutes.
