About this listen
After successfully opposing slavery in the pocket-universe of Ecto-Space, K9 and his Mistress are treated to a life of luxury as the revered guests of Emperor Lukor. However, a life of decadence soon pales for the travellers and after making a hurried departure, they discover a society of diseased cave dwellers who are dominated by their unseen masters who they worship as gods. Experience tells the Mistress and K9 that things are not all that they seem, and in a bid to unearth the truth, they place themselves in deadly peril.
An original full cast drama from BBV. Written and Directed by Nigel Fairs. Post-Production and Music by Harvey Summers. Lalla Ward (The Mistress), John Leeson (K-9), Keith Drinkel (Emperor Lukor), Oliver Bradshaw (Court Historian), Bernard Kay (Burns), Maggie Stables (Lenora), Neil Bull (Nathanien).

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7,680
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

An interlude story set between Old and New Series.
This is an interesting selection for Doctor Who fans. Not exactly canon, but it's a fun listen. I was pleased to see that Audible had these available and purchased both titles.
About twenty years ago BBV released two audio titles set in a sort-of-familiar universe, but for licensing - or lack of it - reasons, a few things needed to be different.
- K9 had a valid dog license, so had no issues.
- Rom... err... The Mistress was along for the ride.
- And they were traveling in a Pocket Universe known as E..cto-Space.
That said, there were two stories released and each ran about an hour. The first story was "The Choice" and the second/last was "The Search". The unmentioned backstory takes up from the last moments of "Warrior's Gate", where K9 mentions he has all the information stored in his data banks to build another Tar... err... Time and Space Traveling Device. K9 and The Mistress have successfully liberated the Thar... err... some oppressed people, and are now presumably trying to get back to N...ormal-space. They just need to work the bugs out of their new Ride. As only two stories were ever produced, who knows if there were plans for the Intrepid Two to eventually return to the home planet of The Mistress where she might decide perhaps to run for President?
Also makes me wonder if the reason the latest incarnation of The Master was dubbed Missy since "The Mistress" technically had been taken in 1999?
These titles aren't that expensive, and if you are a fan of Classic Doctor Who these two titles are a good way to spend two hours.

this is no big finish
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
meh, it killed an hour. nothing more nothing less.
Would you ever listen to anything by Nigel Fairs again?
This feels like it's part 2 of another story. There was no introduction or explanation for where the characters were, how they got there, why they were there. I was lost from the beginning.
This felt like it was written by someone who had heard of Doctor Who but has never actually seen an episode before.
Have you listened to any of John Leeson and Lalla Ward ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
they are both fine/ excellent as performers (duh!) sadly they were both wasted in this story.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
nope
Any additional comments?
stick with the big finish doctor who productions. They never disappoint.
