Having discovered the BBC audiobook series, I’m steadily going through them, here with the last two from the Capaldi era and the most recently released.

Death Among the Stars, by Steve Lyons – nicely read by Nicola Bryant, who however has trouble with Peter Capaldi’s accent. Base under siege shenanigans on Europa, involving aliens and duplicates, riffing off a number of New Who stories (Waters of Mars and Under the Lake/Before the Flood). Not particularly special to be honest. You can get Death Among the Stars here.

Rhythm of Destruction, by Darren Jones, is a step up, riffing off the Capaldi Doctor’s love of music with some brilliant sound design, and with Dan Starkey catching Capaldi’s voice very well indeed. It’s aliens playing interstellar rock music, so you know how it’s going to work out, but the ride is fun. You can get Rhythm of Destruction here.

Circle of Memory, by Bob Ayres, is the most recent of these audiobooks to have been released, but it goes back to an earlier period ion the TARDIS with Eleven / Amy / Rory, and a rather good plot of memory theft and loss, and trying to work out your own identity. Dan Starkey is the reader again, and he is really very good at capturing the characters’ voices. The plot too seems to have hidden depths. Ayres has written only a couple of other Who stories for Big Finish, but I’ll look out for him in the future.
