Excellent Book. Great way to see how the role of companion changed from the early 1960s to today. Only major part of book that is lacking are: Dalek movies companion and allies, Big Finish companion and allies and comics.
Its a great book with an easy to follow plot. I loved Nikki and the Judoon (they should so get together!) The twists were suprising and the ending was pleasing.
All in all great!

it was alright
The Magic Mousetrap has a great plot, setting, cast, excellents twists and role changes, but falls badly after part one. The pace remains steady, dialog is good and well acted but without a raise in temo or real urgency, fear etc it just falls down. Could have been better with the toymaker up and running, taking everyone on. Whilst there was an excellent sense of the unknown it never went anywhere, but should have been great.
Excellent story, with an excellent plot. Well recommended.

The title says it all, this is a must listen.
Dance of the Dead is a classic sci-fi plot and a classic Benny Story, she handles the struggle and twist and turns in a normal special manner. Normally the ice warriors voices are a pain but soften from the normal hissing helped the plot.
Whilst the plot isn't original, I've seen simular in Star Trek, Star Gate and Doctor Who. Mirror effect is a great story, with a real atmosphere and grips you throughout.

| Gripping story, sudden finish |

The Belotron incident builds up a strong plot, giving you a sense of time and place. A race to the goal in a hostile world, with a strong cast this a great story. It would have been a 10 but the ending was just a little sudden and too easy.

| Good but too much screaming |

Draconian rage starts as an interesting story, creating an image of a great empire, along the lines of ancient rome, together with the politics and mad men. Benny's suffering after a while hurts the ears and weakens the story, it's well acted but just too full on.
Poison Seas failed several times to take advantage of its ingrediants. The voices of the Sea Devils like the ice warriors can struggle to come across on audio, so dialog needs to be strong, which it wasn't. Without giving the plot away the enemy wasn't anything original, further making this a weak story.

To get the full benefit of this story you must have read the book, if not you will often feel lost. Death & the Daleks is a strong story, of occupation, residence and family. It coul have made the plot for a whole series (which may have been better). At times skipping great events and timelines made a great story feel crammed and lost some of the fun, but still a good story.
For many years, this was the best of those synopsis style books. Where this edges in front of those others (despite some small niggly mistakes) is the fun being poked at our favourite show. Not in any way nasty, but more of the laugh-out-loud variety. If it's still available, make this an amusing addition to your (chronologically ordered, of course) Doctor Who library.
This is now one of my most favorite Doctor Who Books of all time! The Wayfarer Crew were all brilliant characters, especially Koral and Cuttin Edge. Dalek X was Amazing! And the plot was great! It was perhaps a little rushed at the end but its forgivable because overall its such a great book. Its inspired me to write a Doctor Who Book!

When I found out this was the last 'gothic' story, I was looking forward to seeing it. But it disappointed me. The story takes a while to get going and some of the cliffhangers are pointless. The 4th Doctor and Leela work well together, especially in this story, but that can't redeem it for me. This is still one of the best stories in its season, though.
The Slitheen Excursion by Simon G. was great. The Slitheen family are causing mischef in Greece, full of monsters, excitment what else could you ask for?
June's charcter was good for a once off character, but wouldn't be good for further adventures. Still great to like.
Full of earthquakes, paradoxs, greek mythology and history, it's a must read!
This was my first listern to a big finish adventure, and on the strengh of this, i have bought more.
I am still waiting to see David Tennant or soon Matt Smith battle the zygons,so it was good to see the zygons re-emerge from the depths. Interesting story, well done to all,
