Well. There's no way you're going to be able to finish this story and not continue with Dalek Empire II and III. It ends on such an intriguing note.
However, as the story begins, we learn about the true purpose of Project Infinity: to tear view-ports across dimensions, finding any dimension where the humans defeated the Daleks, so they may learn how to do the same in their own. However, in the hands of the Daleks, it's used for much the same, but far more deadly use: to discover a universe where Daleks reign supreme, and invite those Daleks over to assist in the subjugating of a new universe.
Continued masterful editing and acting make this a perfect listen for your daily walk or commute.

An excellent ending to an excellent first season of this story. The one flaw is the annoying delay in presenting the events which climaxed the previous story, which dramatically effected the tension and excitement. The climax essentially became a somewhat interesting plot point, instead of the powerful beginning it should have been. Also unfortunate is the lack of resolution regarding the strange framing narrative which I found so obnoxious through the story. It is resolved come the second season, but it too loses the element of interest by the time it's presented.
What this story does well is to create an amazing buildup to the bitter end. The rebellion against the Daleks is moving forward, but there is a limited amount of time to reach “Project: Infinity” before the Daleks get there first. What the project is was truly surprising, and the cause for the best cliffhanger ending yet provided in the series. It also opens the door for a second season I never saw coming. Well worth listening to.

So, ok, as you might suspect, everyone's plans are revealed in this episode and, well, some of them are a little hokey. The idea behind Project Infinity itself is dissapointing and, even with the twist ending (How could there not be?) one has to scratch their head as to why it's such a McGuffin.
That all said, all the characters are beautifully running their stories out to the end and, while big military battles really don't usually work on audio, Nick Briggs finds a way! The battle that leads up to the tense climax utilizes Mirana in an incredibly clever way and it works!
Hold on to your hats. You will be heading to Dalek Empire II right after this I assure you, but it's a much rougher ride.

In the end, this series ended up being pretty enjoyable. Not one of my favorite Doctor Who universe[s] stories, but worth listening to via Spotify.
