Ten. Out. Of. Ten.
This one is harrowing as hell and not to be listened to in a bad mood but Bowerman aces it and makes me cry every time
It’s a masterpiece but listening to it was tough in terms of how dark it gets. Still, 10/10
Just Wars’ plot is great. A little slow to get started as it has to set all the new characters up, but about 1/3 of the way through it picks up pace. This story was a lot more ‘adult’ than previous ones, but the sense of tension was kept for a good hour. The sound design was great again, and the score was very well done. Really played the emotions. The voice acting was superb and really showed off the skills of the performers. This little trilogy overall has been great.
4/5
My favourite Benny audio so far, I listened to this for the first time pretty recently and have already relistened to it, it’s just so brilliant! Perhaps paradoxically, I find comfort in darker stories.
This is simply 5/5 10/10 100/100 - it is one of the best audios released within the Whoniverse.
My review effuses in more detail:
Does this require any prior context?
I don’t even think it needs the other two parts of the Time Ring trilogy because that aspect is fairly cursory.
So as long as you know who Benny and Jason are and how they’ve ended up in WW2, you’re probably good to go.
One out of three ain’t bad, i know who Benny is
Okay. Wow. This one took me by surprise. It’s dark, it’s bleak, it’s upsetting, and it lets Bowerman, Fewell, and Gatiss absolutely shine in their roles. It’s so simple, yet it has strong thematic and emotional layers. A marvellous Benny audio!
9/10
Just War is a stark, emotionally mature piece of storytelling that proves Big Finish can do far more than space opera. Lisa Bowerman gives her most raw and human performance yet as Benny, and the supporting cast is uniformly excellent. It’s not a thrill-a-minute adventure but a haunting exploration of identity, trauma, and the dangers of ideology. If you’ve followed the Time Ring Trilogy thus far, this is a must-listen—and it might just be the best of the three.

Not listened to it in literal years cause the story broke me in ways I couldn’t even imagine it’s a banger a certified banger
Just finished this, a hard listen but a really excellent story. I’ve also done the book which is really great as well but to hear Bowerman perform these scenes, just so good. I also liked some of the changes they did like focusing on Jason’s history with his dad and how this relates to that. In the bookThey leave it ambiguous if Wolff is killed or chooses to do suicide but in this version they just have Jason flat out kill him and it really works just as well
