| '''''Master''''' is a ] ] based on the long-running British ] ] '']''. It forms a trilogy with '']'' and '']'' to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the show. It features the ] as its main character. | |||
| ==Synopsis== | |||
| The ] arrives at an old house on the colony world of Perfugium where he has, through a deal with ], sent the Master to live without memory of his evil for several years. | |||
| It is eventually revealed that while the Doctor was Time's Champion, the Master was Death's. This was a result of an incident in their youth, when the Doctor accidentally killed a boy who was bullying the young Master. When Death came to him, the young Doctor gave his childhood friend over to Death (personified as a woman) rather than become its slave himself, causing his friend to take on all the guilt and aftereffects for his crime and ultimately become the Master. | |||
| However, as a result of this, neither the Master nor the Doctor remembered the truth, instead having the false memory of the Master being responsible for the death. The deal the Doctor made involved Death allowing the Master to be what he would have been if he had not become her avatar, but in return the Doctor would have to kill him ten years later. | |||
| Rendered amnesiac and thinking his name was John Smith, the Master becomes a benevolent doctor on Perfugum. At the end of those years, however, Doctor is unable to bring himself to kill him. This causes Death to become personally involved, unleashing a night of horrors upon the household. The truth of the Master's past is revealed, but "John Smith" forgives the Doctor for this. However, the end implies that the Master will once again become Death's servant. | |||

| *This story is part of a trilogy with '']'' and '']'' to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Doctor Who. | |||
| *Geoffrey Beevers reprises the role of the ], whom he previously played in the 1981 story '']'' and the Big Finish Productions audio play '']''. He returns to the role in '']''. | |||
| *The Master spends most of the play in his "John Smith" personality. However, when his true personality briefly surfaces, he is quite contemptuous of the idea that Death had anything to do with his creation. The Master scoffs at the idea of being Death's Champion, casually tells her to be quiet and generally dismisses her. This may imply that Death is exaggerating her role in the Master's formation. | |||
| *Since the Master is using the Doctor's usual ], the latter professes his name to be Vaughan Sutton, the villain he faced in '']''. | |||
| *The personification of ] had previously appeared in the ] line of books, and this story, although it is set after that line of books, shares much of its tone with them. | |||
