Crocodile-headed aliens beat one another up.

Well, there is more to the plot than that, but surprisingly little when you get down to it. The main setting is a monastery on an alien planet, which Platt at least makes some effort to describe, but which honestly doesn't seem terribly relevant to anything else.

The story is forgettable, although not actively bad, and any expectation that Sobek might have something to do with, say, Osirians, is entirely misplaced. Top notch guest stars Barbara Flynn and Art Malik do their best, but they're ultimately wasted, and Lucie seems to wander around more or less aimlessly.

There are undoubtedly worse Big Finish plays than this one; it doesn't leave you with a bad taste in the mouth as a few have done, and the plot at least makes sense. But it's not much to cheer about, either.
