Thicker Than Water, by Paul Sutton
Three years after Vilag was all but laid waste by the Killorans, the Doctor is back alongside a different companion. And a lot has changed.
Now elected Principle Triumvir, head of a tripartite government, Rossiter is working to secure a peaceful future for the planet by researching the technology the Killorans left behind. But he has to contend with opposition from his daughter, Sofia, who heads a public campaign demanding the destruction of all alien artefacts.
Politics has caused a rift between father and daughter, and as if that weren't enough, Sofia doesn't approve of her new step-mother either. Emotions soon boil over into violence, a violence that seems to have gripped the entire city.
Friendships bind people close, but they say that blood is...
This story takes place between "The Trial of a Time Lord" and "Time and the Rani".
Starring Colin Baker (the Doctor), Maggie Stables (Evelyn Smythe) and Bonnie Langford (Mel), with Gabriel Woolf (Principal Triumvir Rossiter), Rachel Pickup (Dr Sofia Rossiter), Patrick Romer (Dr Andrew Szab?), Simon Watts (Dr Sebastian Lawrence), Matt Dineen (Jenner) and James Parsons (TV Interviewer).
