The Ninth Doctor #23

'Into the Stars: Salvation Nine' (2022) from The Ninth Doctor Adventures: Series 2.

A great Sontaran story here. The Doctor and his going back-and-forth between the ship and storytelling and the planet is all great. I love the Niners and how they're sort of like Sontaran Ewoks. Really really cool lore added onto the Sontarans in this story, and having only seen them in NuWho it's done a lot to increase my interest in them as villains. The mystery of whether or not the Niners are going to reveal themselves as Sontarans the whole time is well-written, especially when the two main ones are pretending to be Sontarans and feel like they're enjoying the evilness too much.
