A very good buy for Doctor Who fans. These collections are always well worth a credit. Short summaries on my opinions of the stories. I’ll try to stay spoiler free as much as possible and keep to things that happen early on.

-The Clockwise Man - (7/10) Solid story about robots. The presentation of this is very, very Russel T Davies era, which makes it feel like it could have been an episode of the era.

-The Monsters Inside - (7.5/10) I felt like this was the best of the bunch. Bizarre concepts of how a space prison could be run. The Slitheen are the big bads here and I think that they are well used. The Slitheen are interesting, dangerous enemies (except for the farting) and I like them here. There’s also a cute slime monster who is chummy with the Doctor (cute as in nice and harmless, bot cute as in a sidekick)

-Winner Takes All - (2/10) Evil hedgehogs use a video game to recruit soldiers in an unending war. This idea was used in Sarah Jane Smith Adventures and I liked it better there. I really didn’t like this one. It’s extremely mean-spirited and pretty much every new character is just the worst. There’s so much anger and contempt in this one and not in an entertaining way. The giant hedgehogs aren’t interesting or funny. If you are expecting Beep the Meep, you’ll have to search elsewhere. I can take dark in Doctor Who (there are some very, very dark stories), but those stories are usually artistically valid. This is just unpleasant and directionless.


Even with the dud of Winner Takes all, the other two still make this a great value. And, of course, other people did enjoy the story that I hated, and you may, too. My opinion isn’t any more valid than anyone else’s.

Have a good one!

Good Dalek Story, but a Bit Safe

I’d like to start by saying that Nicholas Briggs is very good reader and writer. The cold opening to this story is particularly unnerving and mysterious. The Daleks are playing nice and setting up a perfect planet for humans to live on, but why?

The descriptions of the Dalek death-rays are particularly well-done and disturbing.

Without getting into spoilers, there are a lot of crazy ideas, but with little pay off. The reason that the Daleks are being nice is pretty underwhelming. I was expecting something truly wicked, but it’s just standard evil stuff.

Still, the performance is very good. Nicholas Briggs is very good at leading tension into the readings (which he also wrote). Notably, Briggs is the voice of the revival series Daleks (Eccleston and forward), so that’s fun.

Overall, worth a listen, for sure. It’s a fun romp, but nothing special. Even standard Doctor Who is still good stuff.

An Honest, Insightful Look Back at an Iconic Actor and Character

Leonard Nimoy writes a well-thought memoir of his career, especially as it pertains to Star Trek and his iconic, unforgettable character of Mister Spock. He writes sections where the character of Spock speaks directly to him and covers his complex relationship with the character. A great listen to any Star Trek fan.

Also, the great, late Nimoy reads it in his magnificent voice, which is a huge bonus. He will be missed, but also remembered.

This is a fantastic audio book read by Tom Baker about the Devil fighting the Doctor. The first half is spooky while the second half is really strange and quirky. Also littered throughout is a ton of really nice character moments with Sarah Jane, Harry Sullivan and the Doctor.

Excellent.

Owen Morgan delivers an honest, fair critique

I’ve been listening to Owen Morgan’s Youtube channel for a while now and I find his even, honest way of speaking and handling subjects to be both informative and easy to listen to. Here, he provides an introductory history of Jehovah’s witnesses and challenges their doctrine without resorting to exaggeration or insults. He provides his own experience as much as he can and his story can be pretty harrowing at times. I knew I would get this book when he announced it, but I wanted it in audio form, because I like hearing his voice and I like to do other tasks like cleaning while listening to audio books.

I hope to hear more from him in the future.

Sexist jerk barbarian swapped with a love slave

This is a great genderswap story with lots of steamy scenes. The story starts with the main character of Azalato (not sure if I spelt that correctly) being a total villain and jerk. He is body swapped with a woman he was going to make be a pleasure maiden for his camp, so now he has to do that instead!

As a fair warning, Azalato is a sexist douchebag, but he gets better as time goes on as he becomes more sensitive. Some fairly good character development here. It should be noted that he talks about how weak he is as a woman a lot.

Naughty themes include: Sexual servitude, BDSM, lesbian, bisexual (MFF), sexuality change (Azalato goes from ultra hetero mape to bisexual woman), groping, multiple men and others I can’t remember specifically.

Of the 24 chapters, I think about 3 don’t have naughty scenes, but they are still good. The story is interesting enough. This is a servitude and humiliation to romance story. Not the same people involved (spoilers: Modan is best boy. What an absolute chad.)
