Doctor Who: Doom Coalition 1 by Matt Fitton

3.0

---

Doom Coalition 1 is an incredibly mixed bag. It opens with one of the best Eighth Doctor audio stories and then proceeds to plummet into a mixture of mediocrity and downright dreadful. It’s a shame that they squandered such a promising premise with dreadful execution. At this point, the only thing I’m looking forward to in Doom Coalition 2 is the appearance of River Song. Hopefully, that box set can win me back over with its plot as well, but I’m not exactly holding my breath. It’s a shame since Dark Eyes was, on the whole, fairly solid and consistent. It’s never a great sign when your opening installment stutters its way into existence. I hope the latter three box sets can make up for this.
