Some  two-and-a-half years in the making, Famous For Retreating  is  the  first-ever audio play based in the universe of the Greater Game  of   Luck and Glory. Set approximately three years after the conclusion of    the TV series, the play adds substantial development to one character    who only got to appear in a few episodes, and also explores one of the    central characters, giving him a new origin, while explaining the    transitions that led to his emergence. Using themes and characters    devised by award-winning TV Producer Tim Child, Famous For Retreating   is a close study of some of the prominent personalities from the series    he created, attempting to flesh out their histories and to offer a  new   perspective on their motivations.

After her mission to procure witch amber from behind enemy lines goes awry, Heggarty is gravely injured. Her only hope is the witch queen Greystagg, but as Heggarty's injuries prefent her from using Greystagg's calling name, the queen who normally prides herself on her neutrality in the battle between The Powers That Be and The Opposition is forced to make an uneasy alliance with Treguard.

Links between the Twentieth Century and the era of the Dungeon  have been dormant for several years, but the civil war between ‘The  Powers-That-Be’ and ‘The Opposition’ continues. Caught between the two  forces in the conflict are the Grey Sisterhood, now resident in the new  colony of Ambrohame.

Desperate to renew her people’s dwindling powers, the Witch Queen  Greystagg sends an emissary, Heggatty, to seek out new sources of witch  amber. During her mission, Heggatty is attacked by the Opposition, and  needs Treguard and Stiletta to come to her aid.

Caught in a situation where combat is impossible, Treguard and  his mortal enemy, Lord Fear, must each battle with words to induce  terror in the other to decide the fate of the Grey Sisters… with the  balance of the entire war resting on the outcome.
