Este é para hardcore fans. Só eles vai achar normal uma história com tantos twists turn, timelines, reality shift. E o conceito de Daleks comunistas é uma daquelas misturas de ridículo e genial que só Doctor Who e, para aí Pratchett, conseguem pull off.

I've come to expect total brilliance from Alan Barnes, and in the most recent Big Finish he doesn't disappoint. Brotherhood of the Daleks is the latest in an ongoing storyline where Charley Pollard is travelling with the Sixth Doctor after her time with Eight, from her personal timeline perspective, and trying to keep this secret from Six in order not to damage the Web of Time (a recurring problem for poor Charley). They arrive on what appears to be the planet Spiridon and are apprehended by what appear to be Thals. But almost nothing in this narrative is what it appears to be. The revolutionary Daleks singing "The Red Flag" are a particularly glorious touch. I couldn't recommend this as strongly to newcomers to Big Finish, but those of us who are into the audios in general (and the earlier Eight/Charley arc in particular) will love it.

Dreams within dreams and communist Daleks. A bit too contrived for my absolute liking, but still enjoyable. And I'm really enjoying the Six/Charley dynamic.

Holy exterminating crap, this one has it all. Communists! Identity crises! Double-crosses! Sixie (I can't tell you how happy it makes me to realize that SIX GETS ALL THE BEST STORIES)! Charlotte! Daleks! Thaleks! And a story so intricate I'm going to need another listen. Bravo!

Pretty great, the only problem is that the Thals have apparently only read Das Kapital but all of their reference points for what communism is are from the Communist Manifesto, not Kapital.
