Review of Operation Volcano by sircarolyn

16 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

I will confess, it is only a love for the ICMG that has brought me here. But what fun I have had! Ian with a comical beard! Allison smacking someone on the head with a wrench! Rachel working on a turbofan engine! All that was missing was Sir Toby up to something (and yes, this completely flies in the face of the audios canon, but it is what it is).

The actual story is relatively simple - an alien race has infiltrated humanity with a plan for domination, and the ICMG get mixed up in stopping it. The side characters were relatively uninspiring, but they served their purpose well. If anything, I thought the story itself wrapped up a little too fast, a little too conveniently. But I had fun, so I don't mind that much.

Ace and the Doctor were well served too - Ace especially has a large role in figuring out the alien plan and how to stop it which is nice. There is always a danger in ICMG stories that Allison gets a little overlooked due to her status as an 'assistant', and though she does spend much of the time here as a wall for Rachel to bounce ideas off, I will be thinking about her violent tendecies with fondnes in days to come.
