“Even while they capture that distinct Sixties feel, these two stories also feel modern, too. It’s a difficult balance to get right, but both writers have achieved it incredibly well. The second volume of the First Doctor Adventures is another amazing success” Doctor Who Watch
“the First Doctor Adventures Volume 2 is something special. The Invention of Death is a stand-out story for the year, and a strong contender for Big Finish’s best release of 2018. The Barbarians and the Samurai is one of the most accurate historicals to date, and finds an interesting, new role forour leads in a historical story.” DWAS
