"The Prisoner's Dilemma" is a Big Finish Productions audiobook based on the long-running British science fiction television series "Doctor Who".

The Companion Chronicles "talking books" are each narrated by one of the Doctor's companions and feature a second, guest-star voice along with music and sound effects.

Plot

"A new adventure with the Seventh Doctor as told by his companion, Ace."

Two prisoners meet in a prison cell. Zara is searching for the segments of the Key to Time; she was only born yesterday but already she’s killed hundreds of people. Ace is more ambitious: she was going to kill everyone on the planet.

What have they got against the people of Erratoon? They go peaceably about their simple assignments, beneath their artificial sky. They share their meals and leisure time and they never ask questions. Are they even real?

Ace and Zara will only survive if they can trust each other. Or perhaps if they sell each other out... If not their awful punishment is to become just like everyone else.

Cast

* Ace — Sophie Aldred
* Zara - Laura Doddington

Notes

*This is a crossover with the "Key 2 Time" series starring the Fifth Doctor and Zara's twin sister Amy.
*Zara appeares in the main range in "The Judgement of Isskar" and "The Chaos Pool"
