This is the first Doctor Who novel that I've listened to (through Audible), rather than having read it myself, and as of the day of this review (6th May 2013), Nicholas Briggs' story is far superior to any of the current onscreen season's offerings (so far...), and in my mind would make an absolutely fantastic 2 part story.

The plot, on the whole, feels like a classic series Doctor Who Dalek story, peppered nicely with the racy pace, and emotional depth (yes, I even shed a tear...) of the current generation of Doctor Who, it's twists and turns leaving you guessing to the end - FANTASTIC!

Nicholas Briggs narrates his story superbly, relaying a real sense depth to the main players (this can especially be said of his narrated portrayal of the Doctor himself), and as you would expect his Daleks (via his voice box) sound as effectively menacing as his Dalek do in the current TV show.

I personally liked the use of the minimal ambient music that is played occasionally, and felt it was an effective tool to highlight the contrasting atmospheres presented throughout the story without distracting you from Briggs' heart felt narration.

I would recommend this audio book to fans of Doctor Who (classic and new alike), where Briggs' familiarity of the TV show that he's worked on really shines through in his story and his narration of it.

Nick Briggs is a fantastic narrator and this was an entertaining listen. The story was head and shoulders above anything on the TV series of late (pre Russel T return). 4 stars because I listened straight after Prisoner of the Daleks (also narrated by Nick Briggs). That one’s an absolute belter and a hard act for anything to follow. But this is definitely worth an Audible credit.

Entertaining

Thank you Nicholas briggs for narrating this audio book and I really enjoyed it. This ending ties well with the doctor & the snowman. I hope we get to see eleventh doctor novels volume three & see you again mr briggs.
