From a flyer:
"The game is never really over..."
Fate hasn't finished playing with the Doctor, Peri, or Avon. After saving Gallifrey from a Dalek invasion master-minded by the renegade Time Lord, Random, they set off for a well deserved holiday. But paradise is haunted. Portents from the future await the Doctor while Avon is haunted by his past. And in the TARDIS' Databank they discover a dire prediction of a possible future. At the center of the conundrum is Orac.
Avon uses this discovery to persuade the Doctor to return him to Earth Sector, in particular. Space Command Headquarters, to recover the super computer. Their quest takes them to the heart of the Federation, the center of Servalan's power, who now rules as President Sleer. She means to use Orac as the nucleus of a new Central Control Complex, provided she finds someone with a genius the equal of the computer's creator, Ensor, to reconstruct the activator key which Avon destroyed. Others have different plans for Orac; the more and less than human mercenary, Tabrizi, who was sent to steal or destroy it, may be the destruction or salvation of their quest, and the Doctor's arch-enemy, the Master, would use Orac to spread his tyranny across the Universe.
To win, the Doctor, Peri, and Avon must face their worst nightmares.
