OMG. I just finished listening to this and I had to post straight away because it is AWESOME! As I've said before, I am really not into audio only because I find it hard to maintain concentration and I just really, really miss the visuals of the actors' faces etc., but wow. I was excited going into this one because it was about Jack at the Time Agency, but it not only exceeded my expectations, it really blew me away!

For Christmas I got the Big Finish "The Lives of Captain Jack" CDs. I am not at all into audio plays because I am a very visual person and find it hard to manage without the visuals, especially faces, and without the descriptions of thought processes you get in written media, but I'd already tried out "Broken" and "The Conspiracy" last year and when this boxset came out I knew I had to have it. I mean, the chance to get even a tiny glimpse into some of Jack's past that's been glossed over on the TV? Who wouldn't want that?

(I'd also really, really love some new *future* canon, even if it isn't really considered canon, but just *something* to give me *some* ideas for role-playing purposes of what Jack might be up to post-Miracle Day. Maybe that'll come next? *crosses fingers*)

Anyway, I just listened to "The Year After I Died" and it was pretty good. A rather big section in the middle with no Jack (I mean, he's who we're all here for, isn't he!) but otherwise pretty entertaining and it felt like it fitted well into the DW universe. Not as many new insights into Jack as I'd hoped for, but there were some nice little snippets.

Cut for story spoilers (though more about Jack than the story) )
