Circuit Breaker: Short Circuits (Release Discussion)

Circuit Breaker: Short Circuits – Available 24/09!

Wherever the Doctor has gone, and whatever challenges have lain ahead of her, she has always made new friends and enemies along the way. And as the final pieces of a complex scheme fall into place, this has never been truer.

But all of those friends and enemies have stories have their own…

1. Battleships by Alex Hewitt
Meet the Conductor. This cadaverous specimen is a peerless tactical genius. But life is hard for a man who stands out from his fellows, and this formidable mastermind must outwit certain rivals before setting his sights on his true enemy.

2. Get Rich or Die Trying by Alex Hewitt, from a story by Natasha Siegel
Meet Andrew – a young man with a good job and a mysterious benefactor. Following a coded message to the Jurassic Coast, where a team of palaeontologists are digging up a dinosaur skeleton, Andrew encounters a stranger who gives him a so-called time-travel device. Before he knows what’s happened, Andrew is plunged back through history, all the way to the Jurassic Period itself. Why has he been sent here?

Who is his anonymous benefactor? And is he the victim of a sinister experiment? Only time will tell…

Can’t believe this is the end of the Circuit Breaker era! Although I haven’t loved some of the stories so far I must admit I have enjoyed following this, and will be sad once I finish these two :(

I rather enjoyed the both of these, Dan Starkey makes for an engaging narrator and there was some good humour peppered throughout. My reviews below.

Battleships: a fairly standard story, served its purpose in giving the Conductor a backstory and motivation but not much else, 6/10

Get Rich or Die Trying: more fun than substantial, it’s just a nice little adventure for a character I’ve grown kinda fond of. Nothing special, but decent in its own right, 7/10
