Ever wanted to get back to the time of the weekly serial series that always ended on the literal cliffhanger where you don't know the folding direction of the story..?
Excellently written and put together this takes us back to that time...and that is a good thing.
No spoilers here - check it out, enjoy it and pass on the word.
Should be on Radio 4.

Thankfully, Jarvis let us know that the series was reviewable on Goodreads. Having said that, this review is for all of Escape Velocity at this point from Series 1 through Series 3.
In a world...Brilliant!! I spent my childhood in the 70s DXing AM radio stations in order to hear the "Sears Radio Mystery Theater," etc. I was told - and I believed at that point - that radio theater was dead. It's heyday was over.
Fast forward a quarter century and everything old is new again. RADIO theater may be dead (outside of BBC Radio 4), but audio drama, via podcasting, is alive and well. I give you Elite Velocity as a case in point.
You don't need to play the Elite Dangerous game to enjoy this story; it performs well right on its own! Stop reading this and go to www.radiotheatreworkshop.com and get Escape Velocity. The whole series. One, Two, and Three!
Your welcome!
