I've never been a huge fan of the Time War or how it's been explored by Big Finish in particular.  I find the overall concept a bit uninspiring.  That said, this was an enjoyable and strong start to the Heroes and Monsters collection.  It's quite a chilling tale with Gallifreyan children being kept safe from the war by working in factories making weapons.  The fact that the safest place for children is combined with them contributing to the war effort hints at how devastating the war truly is for Gallifrey.  The War Doctor is well-written here and I liked the supporting characters of Senior Tahl and Rojan, a young boy who becomes the 'leader' of the children escaping from a Dalek onslaught.  Good stuff.
