Seven, Ace, and Hex encounter vampires; the truth about Hex's mother comes out.

3.0
Project: Destiny by Cavan Scott and Mark Wright is pretty good as well, though you would need to be familiar with quite a lot of the previous Big Finish range to appreciate it fully - I went back and listened again to Project: Twilight and Project: Lazarus, which feature Hex's mother Cassie, and also to The Harvest, which introduces him and the hospital of St Gart's to which we now return, and even his most recent appearance in The Angel of Scutari, but I should have also taken in No Man's Land and maybe even Thicker Than Water. (Mind you, those are almost all excellent stories, so perhaps make a decent listening project as such.) Poor old Hex finds that the hospital and indeed London have been taken over by sinister external forces, and that the Doctor has known more about his background than he was letting on for a very long time; meanwhile the sinister Nimrod, leader of The Forge, a Torchwood-like research centre but much less sexy, is maturing his own evil plans. It's very well executed, and again the guest cast are on top of things. I was rather hoping that it would all turn out to be a dream at one point, but in fact am content with the way it works out.
