This summer’s cross-media Doctor Who event, Circuit Breaker, is now well underway. With the first chapter live on the UNIT website and Titan Comics first issue now in stores, today we’re taking a listen to the fourth chapter of the story. The audiobook, Doctor Who: The Deadliest Weapon is due to release in stores on July 30, 2026.
Read by Jo Martin, reprising her acclaimed role as the Fugitive Doctor, The Deadliest Weapon is described as a thrilling new adventure by Steve Lyons.
Masquerading as a resident in a luxurious space hotel, the Doctor is in fact on a dangerous mission to eliminate Kashan Akravar, a rogue weapons dealer who’s attempting to auction blueprints for the deadliest weapon ever invented.
Listen to a clip from Doctor Who: The Deadliest Weapon in the player below:
The Division – that shadowy Time Lord organisation – have briefed the Doctor to prevent the blueprints’ sale at all costs. But they’re not the only ones who realise the weapon’s potential. When the hotel is attacked by Cybermen, intent on seizing the blueprints, the Doctor must use every ounce of her courage and ingenuity to hold them off.
Working with husband and wife Kel and Jinni, the Doctor finds puzzles and obstacles in her way. Whose disembodied voice is calling out to her? What is its connection with UNIT’s Black Archive? And can anything prevent a cruel stroke of fate that will have unimaginable consequences for them all…?
David Banks returns as the voice of the Cyber-Leader, bringing one of the Doctor’s most iconic foes to life.
