About the author
Nicholas Briggs
323 books131 followersNicholas Briggs is a British actor and writer, predominantly associated with the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who and its various spin-offs. Some of Briggs' earliest Doctor Who-related work was as host of The Myth Makers, a series of made-for-video documentaries produced in the 1980s and 1990s by Reeltime Pictures in which Briggs interviews many of the actors and writers involved in the series. When Reeltime expanded into producing original dramas, Briggs wrote some stories and acted in others, beginning with War Time, the first unofficial Doctor Who spin-off, and Myth Runner, a parody of Blade Runner showcasing bloopers from the Myth Makers series built around a loose storyline featuring Briggs as a down on his luck private detective in the near future.
He wrote and appeared in several made-for-video dramas by BBV, including the third of the Stranger stories, In Memory Alone opposite former Doctor Who stars Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant. He also wrote and appeared in a non-Stranger BBV production called The Airzone Solution (1993) and directed a documentary film, Stranger than Fiction (1994).
Briggs has directed many of the Big Finish Productions audio plays, and has provided Dalek, Cybermen, and other alien voices in several of those as well. He has also written and directed the Dalek Empire and Cyberman audio plays for Big Finish. In 2006, Briggs took over from Gary Russell as executive producer of the Big Finish Doctor Who audio range.
Briggs co-wrote a Doctor Who book called The Dalek Survival Guide.
Since Doctor Who returned to television in 2005, Briggs has provided the voices for several monsters, most notably the Daleks and the Cybermen. Briggs also voiced the Nestene Consciousness in the 2005 episode "Rose", and recorded a voice for the Jagrafess in the 2005 episode "The Long Game"; however, this was not used in the final episode because it was too similar to the voice of the Nestene Consciousness. He also provided the voices for the Judoon in both the 2007 and 2008 series. On 9 July 2009, Briggs made his first appearance in the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood in the serial Children of Earth, playing Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary Rick Yates.

There's nothing much here but a sort of endless ramp up to the very end of episode 3. Just say "Kalendorf has a cunning plan" and "Suz's mangled brain is untrustworthy" over and over again and you can mostly skip to episode 3.

The rival daleks battle over the dalek emperor's remains, and the surviving rebels are caught in the middle. Meanwhile, something weird has happened to Jupiter. Big Finish audios can be a bit plummy, so I appreciated the addition of a Geordie to the cast.

Another solid chapter in the series. Lots of intrigue. Lots of actions. Lots of dastardly double-crossing Daleks.

not enough Gareth Thomas, but still fairly entertaining installment. Some reveals in here of why Susan Mendez is so valuable to the Daleks.

I will make a combine review because honestly I can't rate this audiodrama without the rest becuase they are one big story...
Some spoilers ahead...
The Second series of Dalek Empire the main characters pass from Susan Mendes to Kalendorf. Here this story is focus of the battle betweeen the humankind and the new daleks against the old evil daleks. From the very beginning we get the feeling that the new good daleks are not that evil but at the same their goodness is by total control of everything. I think this 4 audiodramas should be only 2. What's interesting is that finally Alby Brook mets with Susan Mendes. In the end Kalendorff is succefull in breaking the deal with the good daleks making them return to their own universe (since the war will be ever going) and with the un-wanted help of Susan Mendes, now link to every Dalek, send a shockwaves killing every dalek. We later understand that one Dalek Survived. IT was very interesting to see how Susan Mendes evolved and had to choose between the love of her life (Alby) and Kalendorf - not in a romatic way.
The ending is quite good.

Suz is back in this volume of the Dalek Empire, and all should rejoice, but few will. It seems that, before Suz was put in stasis by the Daleks she was implanted with some essence of the Dalek Emperor, who has since been captured by the Dalek Alliance. Now the Empire seeks to activate the Emperor within her, while the Alliance seek her for even less kind purposes.
All through, we hear further and further rumbling about the behavior of the Alliance. What has happened to the punished planets? Are these new Daleks worse than the ones which humanity faced before? Or will humanity now have to face two nigh-undefeatable armies?

Dalek War follows the events of Project Infinity, in which the Daleks find themselves at war with a race of seemingly peace-loving Daleks from another universe. Led by The Mentor, these Daleks ally themselves with the humans against the "Enemy Daleks" of our universe. Nevertheless, Kalendorf almost immediately suspects his new allies of being as sinister as the Daleks of his own universe. Desperately, he forms a plan, one that may rid the galaxy of both Daleks.

This is a very suspenseful chapter that includes mind control.

December 15, 2017So much better! This is the third or fourth time I've heard this series and I still love it. The back and forth in time, how you never know who is good or evil, how everything is doomed, how there's a good mixture of men and women. Definitely one of big finish's best.
