Reviews

This is absolutely brilliant. I'm not sure why I thought a Captain Scarlet story led by the Angels wouldn't be all that interesting, but I'm so glad I came back and listened to this. It gives the Angels a whole level of depth they never really get close to in the series, and the whole thing is so campy and 60s, with a real sense of threat to some of the situations. The 'main' characters of the series are kept out of the action in a variety of interesting ways, and it's all the better for the story.
