Separated in time Nyssa finds herself trapped in Rhodes during the time of the Crusades as The Fifth Doctor enjoys tea and crumpets in a Savoy Hotel in 2158 AD. But isn't Earth meant to be in the middle of a Dalek Invasion? And why does an American general seem to know far too much about what is supposed to be happening?

Notes
- This release is the first to feature Big Finish's all new look covers for the main series of CD Releases, though the style has already been used for the Companion Chronicles and the BBC7 Eighth Doctor Stories. Television companions who star in the story are now credited alongside the Doctor's actor (in this case, Sarah Sutton is credited alongside Peter Davison). Audio companions are still credited alongside the guest actors.
- The name "Temporal Interocitor" is a reference to the movie This Island Earth.
- Christopher H. Bidmead felt that changes made during the editing process were significant enough that he could not claim to be the story's sole writer. Hence, the "from a story by" credit.
