Well it’s been quite a while since I listen to this, that said I still remember it well enough and well I don’t hate it, neither do I like it. I think in many ways at best it’s a bit unremarkable, at worst it’s a letdown in its Series, as well as in the MR after such a stellar Run (Omega - Scherzo) and then this!
Following such a good Run will always be hard and well Kromon does not live up to it. If it wasn’t for its Writer and for being the Introduction Story of C’rizz, it would have be forgotten, I’d reckon.

After doing some Work with Six, Martin returns to pen his first Big Finish Play and his first Adventure with a new Doctor. It’s not good. Not to say I am too thrilled about Martins work from what I heard and seen, but this one falls into the Trap of his previous Work but without the Substance. It’s offputting but lacks a Commentary that made Varos such a good Story.

Gone is an interesting, unique World, replaced for a Society that on Paper could be interesting but offers mostly nothing. Of course following up Scherzo would have been hard anyway and if this Story delivers in being enjoyable I would have been very satisfied. Sadly it simply isn’t, if we don’t have some gross Imagery we kinda have a very Standard and very boring Who Adventures.

That said, not all of it is bad, C’rizz is introduced fairly well here, and you get the Gist of his Character. Some of its Cliffhangers are intriguing, but really what does it offer?
Of course, it’s fine if a Writer decides to go with a style, has a pattern, it can work very well, sadly Martin’s later Work (from the very little I know) doesn’t reach the Highs of his first one.
Despite all I wouldn’t say it’s truly “bad”, it isn’t “good” either and not really “middling” either, I am unsure how I would rate this Story. There are Things which work, but they get overshadowed by some of its worst Parts, a mess of a Story really, and I am not necessarily sure if I make sense, but I tried my best .
