Betrayal at the House of Sontar follows the Fugitive Doctor’s (Jo Martin) involvement in the Rutans vs Sontarans war and takes listeners back to the early era of Sontar’s history, when the Kaveetch and their world were on the brink of war.
With the Doctor on the run from the shadowy organisation known as the Division, the planet Sontar and the home of the Kaveetch Empire seems to be the perfect place to seek sanctuary. To get that safety, the Doctor plans to give them the secrets of the Time Lords, but who on Sontar can be trusted with all that power over time and space?
L to R: Nigel Fairs, Jo Martin and Jonathon Carley
Alongside Jo Martin’s Fugitive Doctor is Anthony Howell as the Kaveetch scientist Meredit Roach, Abi Harris as Kaveetch Empress Annaz Zachar, Nigel Fairs as General Stahl, and Jonathon Carley as Vrag and Drammal.
