Reasons for reccing: This is like a continuation or revisiting of the Audio Adventure Forty-Five, an anthology whose 4th chapter was quite an interesting premise for an audio story. The original was notable for the way it pitted the most scheming of the Doctor's incarnations in a battle of wits against an over-the-top, megalomaniacal foe: an entity who is a Lord of Words the same way the Doctor is a Lord of Time. This story really captures the feel of the audio adventures, with lots of shout-outs, jokes, peril, creativity and imagination, and some true emotions in there as well. It's snappy and quick and for a story focused on the sounds of language, is very visual. My one nitpick would be that as far as Who stories go, the minor character "red shirt" body count is a bit high; on the one hand it shows what an unstoppable and dangerously unbalanced menace the Word Lord is in order to motivate the heroes; but in terms of today's show's sensibilities it seems a bit out of character or lacking some true depth. But the past was a bit different, and the audios yet again a different kettle of fish. And despite a bit of red shirt motivation (and some blue language), the parts with the Doctor, Ace and Hex well make up for it. They are wonderfully in character with great dialogue and interactions, and a true delight in these dire circumstances. Overall it's a creepy, creative, funny, snappy piece with a brilliantly inventive denoument worthy of the Scottish schemer himself. Nobody shouldn't read this story...
