Doctor Who: The Sinestran Kill
When the Doctor decides to trace an anomalous energy signature on twentieth century Earth, he stumbles into an assassination attempt.
Gangland thugs are trying to murder a seemingly innocent shopkeeper, and it’s only the intervention of the Doctor and Ann Kelso – a WPC who happens to be on the scene – that prevents a tragedy.
But why do the gangsters want the shopkeeper dead? And what does this have to do with alien technology?
The first stages of a grand conspiracy are about to be revealed. And finding the answers will take Ann Kelso on a journey like no other.

Andrew Smith wrote the Doctor Who television story Full Circle and its novelisation. At the time of initial broadcast, he was the youngest writer to contribute to the TV series.
Smith submitted his work to more than one Doctor Who script editor. They replied with "positive criticism". Finally he sent The Planet that Slept, which became Full Circle.
Shortly afterwards, he became a police officer, spending a long time in that career.
Smith was approached by Big Finish and displayed interest in writing for them. Because he had started the trilogy with Full Circle, they asked him to write a Companion Chronicles story set in E-Space. The Invasion of E-Space was released in October 2010.

Excellent beginning to Series 08: The Syndicate Master Plan.
Crime, gangstas and a fun runaround adventure.
The story is basic, but don't let that worry you; it's designed to introduce the new companion: Ann Kelso. Daring, self-assured and orderly. This one was a lot of fun.
8/10

A very nice but one typical trope of Doctor Who, but a very nice story in the introduction of Ann Kelso

3.5 stars - Simple setup story but I like the tone set and the seeds being planted for future stories.
