The Gemini Contagion (Jason Arnopp) |

On the Back Cover:
Matt
Smith reads this exclusive audio story featuring the
Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond.
The
ice-planet Vinsk, in the year 2112. The all-new anti-viral
handwash, Gemini, has been laced with Meme-Spawn: a sentient
micro-organism which makes the user fluent in every language
in the universe. However, manufacturer Zalnex made one
crucial mistake. They didn't test Gemini on humans, who
are seized by the violent urge to communicate but speak
every language all at once - with a manic, garbled shriek
- and pass on the virus by touch.
The Doctor and Amy arrive on an Earth-bound cargo-ship
loaded with Gemini, where a human crew are succumbing
to the virus which has nasty second and third phases
in store. When the Doctor and Amy are separated, they
both know that it's only a matter of time before Amy
is infected.
With
the ship locked on course, and no way of curing the sufferers,
the Doctor is faced with a terrible decision: does he
save Amy, or Earth?
