Robin Soans reads this original adventure featuring the 12th Doctor and
Clara, as played by Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman in the BBC TV
series. The TARDIS is summoned to a "space cathedral" by Shadrak Winter,
the High Cardinal of the Cult of the Prime Self. Soon to be relieved of
his post by way of assassination, Shadrak has used his family's calling
card to bring the Doctor to his aid. His followers have long fled the
Sinful, highly contagious slug-like creatures which he himself has
succumbed to--and which now imperil the Doctor and Clara. As Clara
discovers more about the Cult of the Prime Self--currently the fourth
most popular religion--the Doctor becomes infected, all but lost to
appalling guilt and self-recrimination. As he seeks to absolve himself
of his perceived sins, Clara must use all her survival instincts to
escape the Sinful's advances and rescue her vulnerable friend. Robin
Soans, who appeared in the 1981 Doctor Who serial The Keeper of Traken
as well as in Series 9 in 2015, reads this atmospheric original
adventure by James Goss, part of the Tales of Winter quartet of stories.
