Brotherhood of the Daleks (audio story)

was the one hundred and fourteenth story in Big Finish's monthly range. It was written by Alan Barnes and featured Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor and India Fisher as Charlotte Pollard.
== Publisher's summary ==
The TARDIS makes a return trip to the jungle planet of Spiridon, when the Sixth Doctor and Charley fall in with a lost platoon of shellshocked Thal soldiers — victims of a sneak attack by their blood enemies, the Daleks.
Besieged by deadly flora, surrounded by invisible monsters, and with all hope of rescue gone, the Thals are the victims of a grim experiment in psychological warfare.
With the very nature of reality under threat, the Doctor and Charley need each other more than ever. But dark forces are conspiring to tear them apart...

* This audio drama was recorded on 23 and 24 June 2008 at The Moat Studios.
* An illustrated preview by Brian Williamson appeared in DWM 401.
* The Robot Doctor from The Chase is seemingly retconned into being a Dalek duplicate, which are presumably genetically engineered clones.
* This story also makes a definite distinction between the Supreme Dalek and the Black Dalek.
* This story is set between The Trial of a Time Lord and Time and the Rani.
* This story was originally released on CD and download.
