It isn't surprising that a story with the 7th Doctor sometime just prior to the TV Movie would be the darkest of the Excelis Trilogy. I mean, this is the Doctor that destroyed an entire planet to kill off the race of his greatest enemy (although the Last Great Time War suggests he didn't completely fulfill that mission). This time round another familiar face arrives through Lord Vaughan Sutton (as played by Anthony Stewart Head) a man with a history tied to Excelis almost as long as the Doctor's own. But, if Sutton's plan succeeds, Excelis will be trapped in eternal war.

Unfortunately, the story moves too fast and rests too much on the laurels of the previous two plots. That along with a secondary plot that gets lost in the chaos of the climax, the story isn't as good as it could have been. Still, McCoy is on his best game. The Doctor who is far more than a mere Time Lord can be felt, the TARDIS is newly remodeled into its TV Movie incarnation, and there are more Rs rolled in this audio than in some full episodes of the series. It could have been better, and doesn't quite live up to the previous two stories, but this conclusion is well worth the ride.
