What started off as a mildly interesting piece with a neat gimmick turned into an astonishing bit of Doctor Who media over the course of its 2 hour runtime.
I heard so much praise about this one and I enjoyed hearing the idea for it, but what this story nails is the execution. The pacing was nice, the flow of information was steady to where I wasn't completely confused, but I still needed to know more and the soundscape was truly remarkable. On-par with the kind of stuff released today, if not better. It's all an intriguing mystery that builds up to something spectacular. Each cast member serves a purpose and all of them were fantastic.
It takes a little while for the story to really get going, but once we get introduced to Hex's part in everything, the audio grips you and doesn't let you go! His segment of the "Live 34" story is one that I'll never forget.
It was kind of fun to play this story out loud in my home and react to it like I would imagine anyone in that situation would. Even though no real person lives in this fictional colony; the world, story, and its presentation is very enticing. Everything considered, I would agree that this is one of the best of Big Finish's early works.
