Doctor Who: Spare Parts, by Marc Platt
4.0
Well, this was uplifting.
I see why Spare Parts is so highly regarded. It's well written in terms of plot and characters with very chilling athmosphere & disturbing things happening. I liked how Nyssa was given a lot to do and was in character. Same goes for the Doctor.
Also, bonus points for having more than one female character who isn't the companion. Which shouldn't be a thing to get bonus points for it's so bare minimum but many early Big Finish stories fail at this.
The cyber voices were hard to completely understand and unpleasant to listen to (I know that's the point, but still). I did look up a plot summary to see if I missed anything important due to this.
