Thought I’d post some of the cover photos.
Doom Coalition arrived
Category: Books and Audiobooks
I really love audiobooks. A good story is the best thing.
Big Finish’s ‘The Doom Coalition’ due tomorrow …
I have to say that Big Finish have got a fantastic line up for the next few months. Tomorrow ‘The Doom Coalition’ comes out, then between now and the end of the year they’ve got:
- The War Doctor
- A new UNIT series
- The next episode of Survivors
- The Time War (a prequel to the War Doctor)
- and let’s not forget, Torchwood episodes too
So loads to look forward to, and I am.
Thinking about the Culture Series
I’ve been listening to the audiobooks of the Culture Series from Iain M Banks for a little while now. I’ve only just finished the third book, ‘Use of Weapons’, but even after three books I have to say that these are amazing literary creations. The vision of the Culture itself is amazing, huge, vast in its conception.
I’m not sure I’ve understood everything in each of the three stories so far, but I can say that I’ve enjoyed them immensely. I plan to listen to the entire series, all 10 books, and, when I’ve listened to them all, I’m considering then reading them rather than listening to them all.
Doctor Who Unbound – Masters of War
Another story I picked up with the Davros stories were going cheap and this was pretty good actually. First off, this is David Warner as Doctor Who! How amazing is that! Secondly, Nicholas Courtney is wonderful. He’s sadly missed.
The story itself isn’t bad. It’s ok. Worth a listen. I’ve never listened to any of the unbound collection before, and so I might dip my toe a bit more after this.
Big Finish: The Davros Mission
This was another story I picked up on the cheap when Big Finish were doing deals on Davros stories. Whilst it was ok, it wasn’t their best, but it was alright. Enjoyable enough, but nothing special really.
Big Finish Announce the War Doctor series!
This is amazing news! I so wanted them to do this, and now they have! In fact, it was in my list of suggestions for new things that they should do!
Now that I’ve listened to I, Davros, here’s what I think
I, Davros: Purity
I, Davros: Guilt
I, Davros: Corruption
I had the first of this series before and when Big Finish made the rest available at just £2.99 each I thought I should complete the series. It’s set before ‘Destiny of the Daleks’ and is about Davros’ early life. Actually it’s very good. I won’t spoil it in case there’s any chance you’re going to listen to these.
At the sale price I’d recommend these to listen to.
Less than a month until the last book in the Enemy series comes out
So now it’s less than a month until the final book in the series comes out. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s been a long time coming and in my book it can’t come soon enough.
Blake’s 7: The Liberator Chronicles – Remnants (some thoughts)
So I’ve listened to this now. It was good. Short, only an hour, but good. It sort of sets out a new way for the Liberator and the crew. It’ll hopefully be the beginning for the new series coming next year.
It gave me a few surprises too, which is always nice, but what else would you expect from Big Finish right?
Looking forward to 2016 and some more excellent stories.
The rest of the I, Davros mini series
I do like these covers. They’re like old propaganda posters.
