This audiobook story is a really strong and effective take on the superhero genre. It does a great job of capturing the essence of what a 'Doctor Who does superheroes' story looks like, which is something Return of Doctor Mysterio would later repeat in 2007.

The story concerns the Ninth Doctor, Rose and Captain Jack visiting a planet called 'New Vegas', where a superhero vigilante known only as the 'Whisper' is targeting criminal gangs and fighting them to bring justice to the city. In order to get to the bottom of who the Whisper is, the Doctor poses as a police inspector, Rose a fast food waitress and Jack a reporter.

There are so many fun nods here to superheroes such as Batman and Superman, with the Whisper's HQ described as being like 'Wayne Manor', and the newspaper Captain Jack works at being called the 'Daily Galaxy' (a futuristic take on the Daily Planet). I also loved the Series 1 references, such as the Kronkburger and 'Bad Wolf'.

Briggs' Captain Jack impression is terrible though. He doesn't really do a very good job at capturing the character's essence.
