Dalek Empire I: Chapter Four - Project Infinity by Nicholas Briggs
4.0
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.
