Project: Twilight is a Big Finish Productions audio drama based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Sequels to this story include Project: Valhalla (a novel featuring characters from Twilight), Project: Longinus (a web-comic published by Scott and Wright) and the audio dramas Project: Lazarus and Project Destiny.
The manner in which the Doctor in the story rushes into a conflict has been contrasted with David Whitaker's portrayal of a character who uses violence only as a last resort.[1]
