Trama
During the events of Doctor Who: Ravenous 2, Liv Chenka left the Doctor and the TARDIS behind. Just for one year. A year during which she would live on Kaldor, and get to know her sister Tula all over again.
But Kaldor is going through a period of tumultuous change. Technology is changing at an advanced rate - the robots are evolving, artificial intelligence is adapting, and with these changes so politics is altering too. Dangerously.
Can Liv and Tula make a difference during the most turbulent time in the world’s history?
2.1 Robots of War by Roland Moore
A visit to an old flame goes badly wrong for Liv and Tula and soon they find themselves locked down in a military training base, surrounded by traitors and robots designed and built for war. As they attempt to get everyone out alive, is there a chance they’ve missed something important?
2.2 Toos and Poul by Andrew Smith
When a murder takes place in an isolated outpost, there’s only one man who can look into the crime. Investigator Poul, newly reunited with his Sandminer colleague Toos. But can he over-come his fears and prejudices and solve the case?
2.3 Do No Harm by Sarah Grochala
After an incident in a laboratory leads to a tragedy, someone needs to be found accountable. And who better to be prosecuted than a robot? But when complicated ethical questions arise, the outcome of the trial becomes bigger than a single case. What if somebody else is working behind the scenes?¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
2.1 Robots of War by Roland Moore
Una visita di piacere si trasforma nel solito incubo, con VOC e SuperVOC decisi a fare la pelle a Liv.
2.2 Toos and Poul by Andrew Smith
Niente Liv, ma Toos e Poul (personaggi che abbiamo incontrato in Doctor Who and the Robots of Death, serial con il quarto Dottore e Leela).
Atmosfera classica per la solita indagine per omicidio (apparentemente) via VOC.
2.3 Do No Harm by Sarah Grochala
Reincontriamo il SuperVOC 66, questa volta accusato di aver ucciso decine di umani facendo esplodere un laboratorio, fatto a cui si accenna alla fine del primo pezzo e all'inizio del secondo.
Nonostante l'antipatia per i robot, Liv troverà la faccenda così poco chiara da decidere di diventare l'avvocato difensore di SV66.
Della tripletta del secondo box set si staglia il terzo racconto, classico giallo procedurale con plot twist finale e presagio di morte e distruzione per il futuro.
Mentre nel secondo gioca il fattore nostalgia, per chi conosce il serial da cui tutto lo spinoff con Liv Chenka deriva.
Nel complesso un insieme equilibrato e in crescendo, che promette faville per i prossimi cofanetti.
4 / 5
