There's certainly some entertaining aspects to The Empire Man, and definitely parts I like of this audio. Because we are essentially getting three different stories, it does wax and wane in quality a bit across the different parts of the story. I found, for example, Castingham a bit more engaging than the parts with the Prime Minister or the Queen. Still, it was entertaining enough. A fun combination of Christmas and horror, and a new potential direction for the Torchwood series I think offers a lot of potential. That side of this makes the story most interesting and I'm definitely interested in seeing more of this side of Torchwood, so I credit the audio with leaving me feeling that way, but it is an otherwise limited audio in terms of how much I enjoyed it, for sure. Not sure it is worth the listed price though. Definitely one of those audios one would want to get in a bundle or on sale, to be sure. Also, the effects and music sometimes were great in establishing the feel of the audio, but other times felt very over the top, to the point of nearly being distracting.
