About this listen
Jaye Griffiths reads this original adventure for the Twelfth Doctor and Clara, as played on TV by Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman.
For Clara Oswald, life has fallen into a routine. By day she teaches the pupils at Coal Hill School, and by night - and at weekends - she travels in Time and Space with the Doctor.
Clara's having the time of her life, enjoying all the thrill and laughter of being with the Doctor - until, one day, there's somebody else.
To Clara's immense shock, the Doctor has acquired a new companion - and Arix is just as at home in the TARDIS as she has been. Suddenly, Clara's world has tilted on its axis.
As the two companions size each other up, the Doctor is caught between them. And when they all wind up in an alien swamp, it's time for a reckoning of grievances, grudges - and bravery.
Jaye Griffiths, who played Jac in the Doctor Who TV series, reads Steve Lyons's compelling and moving character piece.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
The waters of the Pacific Ocean form the backdrop of this foray into Eighteenth Century seafaring for the Doctor and Martha, when the TARDIS materialises on board the Blue Groper sailing ship. Grudgingly accepted as stowaways by Captain Sadler's crew, the travellers learn that the ship is on a mission to Luna Puesta, 'the land where the moon has set'. There, just off the coast of New Zealand, Professor James Tomlinson hopes to locate a missing archaeological link between dinosaurs and man.

Hired assassin Doom is on a mission to save her own life before Death catches up with her. If she can find the Doctor they might be able to help her - but where in Time and Space are they? These four missions take Doom to a Mediterranean cruise ship in 1966, the planet Mars in the distant past, San Francisco in 1999, and finally a desolate planet in a dying solar system. Along the way she meets former TARDIS travellers Ian and Barbara, the mighty Ice Warriors, and Brian the Ood. But when a mysterious stranger with silver hair and sunglasses turns up, will he be Doom's salvation?

For the Tenth Doctor, the festive season always brought adventure. In fact, he's saved Christmas across space and time more times than we ever knew. Join the Doctor (and Donna and Martha and Rose, and other friends old and new) for incredible tales of daring and danger. From Daleks plotting to save humanity to Sycorax working to exploit it...from star-narwhals massing on the Moon to a toy factory in space. Because even in the jolliest of seasons there's a world or two to save.

The Doctor identifies it as an alien, but to the ailing locals this fabled sea creature has the capacity to heal them - if only Count Otto will share it with them.

I Expected More, Narration Poor, Story a bit Weak.
As a Whovian, I really expected a lot more from this story. Part of the problem is the narration by Jaye Griffiths. She's a brilliant actress, but her reading skills left me confused as to who was saying what because of the monotone in her voice. And her fake Scottish accent for the 12th Doctor was just painful to hear. That said, the story itself is a little weird for Doctor Who, and while it had some good parts, it overall had the feel of an utterly forgettable episode. I'm a huge fan of the 12th Doctor and Clara, and I just felt a lot was lacking in this story, especially the recitation of it by the narrator. I think it's priced far too high for what you get and I wish there would have been reviews to make me think twice before purchasing this one, even with a credit. I recommend listening to a sample of it first, and then deciding whether that reading style is what you fancy. It's definitely not the best Audiobook for Doctor Who, or for the 12th Doctor. If you are looking for a good 12th Doctor Story, I recommend "Silhouette" or the Winter family series.

Reverse School Reunion
Something that has happened more than once in the television show, but most prominently in the episode titled School Reunion, is that a current companion meets a former companion of the Doctor's and has to cope with the knowledge that they aren't as special as they used to think they were. This audio tells a similar story with the twist that instead of meeting a previous companion, Clara meets a new one which the Doctor acquired without mentioning it to her. This plays well into the codependent dynamic that the Doctor and Cara have in Series 9 of the TV show, which is where this is set.

Misleading title
Nothing more disappointing than waiting for the other shoe to drop, only to find it never does. Unsatisfying in the extreme.
