Cardinal Ollistra sends The War Doctor into the midst of a never-ending war. But what is her real motive? Stars John Hurt.

On an isolated world ravaged by battle, time itself has become a weapon, laying waste to all who live and die there. Arms and technology are in a state of flux - and it seems that everlasting war is their only option. 

The arrival of one battered Type Forty TARDIS inside this nightmare offers hope to the combatants trapped within. 

But when he discovers the truth, the horrors of the Neverwhen will shock even the War Doctor...
