This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: House of Blue Fire What's this? An actually good Project story? One that doesn't make me roll my eyes with writing that sounds as though it's been written by a 14 year old? One that actually has something meaningful to say beyond "how many people can we violently kill in a story for no good reason"? I'm impressed. It's no masterpiece, but it's properly enjoyable. Sally and Lysandra are actually quite interesting as characters, unlike their other stories would have led me to believe. The companion chronicle format gives us some great insight into them as characters, which I really appreciate. And it's just a fun adventure in general, feels like an action movie (in a good way, as opposed to a Briggs way). I don't really like the Doctor in this but that's mainly because I just don't like this manipulative and frankly mean Doctor. The so-called "elder God" also wasn't particularly impressive. They really just let anyone be an elder God nowadays? I mean when compared to Gods like the Toymaker and Fenric, Derleth doesn't really hit the same. Still I enjoyed it, great development for the companion team and good vibes. Certainly wasn't expecting the Projects to end on a high note.

Original (Brazilian Portuguese) Translation (English) Project: Nirvana vem com uma proposta narrativa um pouco fora da curva do que estamos costumados a ver na linha The Companion Chronicles – Aqui são 4 vozes em destaque, o que dá para considerar uma quase Main Range, pois geralmente temos a narração de apenas um dos personagens e breves participações de secundários. A finalidade dessa curta viagem de 50 minutos é fornecer um aprofundamento, insights importantes nas duas novas companions do 7° Doctor nos ajudando a concretizarmos Sally e Lysandra como personagens definitivas. Lysandra em especial possui um ótimo desenvolvimento, um dos momentos mais interessantes do áudio é o seu encontro com sua versão mais jovem onde é feita uma reflexão muito bonita do quanto sua personalidade mudou desde então, as últimas linhas de fala do áudio são incrivelmente lindas. O plot em si é bem satisfatório, ele possui duas divisões distinta – Na primeira temos um enredo de ação militar, uma infiltração aérea em um trem em movimento de alta tecnologia cruzando a Romênia tripulado por soldados que estão carregando uma carga misteriosa. Já na segunda parte temos um elemento criativo e bem desenvolvido cujo nome pode chamar atenção dos aficionados em Lovecraft. Em resumo Project: Nirvana é um áudio bem satisfatório que serve com uma ótima ponte ligando “House Of Blue Fire” e “Black And White”, ele acrescenta mais coisas a mitologia da “The Forge” aparentemente enriquence o arco da “Black TARDIS” e caracterizando ainda mais as duas novas companions.
