India in 1947 is a country in the grip of chaos a country torn apart by internal strife.

When the Doctor and Donna arrive in Calcutta, they are instantly swept up in violent events. Barely escaping with their lives, they discover that the city is rife with tales of 'half-made men', who roam the streets at night and steal people away. These creatures, it is said, are as white as salt and have only shadows where their ey es should be. With help from India's great spiritual leader, Mohandas 'Mahatma' Gandhi, the Do ctor and Donna set out to investigate these rumours. But what is the real truth behind the 'half-made men'? Why is Gandhi's role in h istory under threat? And has an ancient, all-powerful god of destruction really come back to wreak his vengeance upon the Earth? Read by David Troughton who played Pr. Hobbes in the Doctor Who episode Midnight and who is the son of 2nd Doctor Patrick Troughton and the father of Sam Trough ton (Much, in BBC's Robin Hood)
