And yes, I know there is a thread for the set overall, but the three stories are available separately, so if someone want to get just this they won't need to fear spoilers for the other stories.

This is the one I'm most excited about hearing. It struck me that this set is structured like the first set. There's a present day unconventional alien invasion story (Technophobia and Infamy of the Zaross), a historical setting (Death and Queen and Sword of the Chevalier) and an out and out spacey (Time Reaver and this one).

And that's the Hat-Trick ! Earthshock with Ice Warriors but more upbeat overall, Does have a slightly controversial last line though Regards mark687

Outstanding close to an outstanding box set! This final story is tied in my book with Mr. Dorney's brilliant, poignant opener, and Guy Adam's story a very close second partly because I think the Ice Warriors managed to seem to me like the meatiest menace. This set is easily an improvement on the excellent first box set in my opinion, for keeping a more even tone and, I think, better balancing wit with suspense.
I'm glad for the occasion to reflect on my feelings about the 10th Doctor, who is after all "my" New Series Doctor, and the best stories with Ten seem to me to have the same skillful balance of wit and suspense as the best stories with "my" original series Doctor, Four - and I thought that ideal was perfectly served by all three of these stories, especially the first two, which is quite wonderful indeed. Such a holiday treat for the ears - thanks, Big Finish!!

A grand finale to an outstandingly brilliant set I can write pages and pages about Ten but I obviously wouldn’t do that for fear of boring everyone here, but there’s one thing I’ll say - I’m sad it’s over I seriously want to listen to more Ten . Well, wishful thinking

My least favorite installment of the box set but still one that I liked. If I had one problem it is that I felt this one needed more space to unfold. The whole refugees aspect to the story just sort of appeared and it felt like it could have easily been a meaty second part. Anyway, lovely having 10 and Rose running around and here is to many more box sets.

Definitely the most traditional tale, possibly the least specifically Tenth Doctor... but it was a cracker. My review, pretty spoiler free, is up over at CultBox.

I pretty much agree with "Tallorder" above me, it was very much a traditional Doctor Who story rather than a 10th Doctor-y story like the previous two. Enjoyable though!

Took me a little longer to finally gather my thoughts on this one. It's good, but if I had to choose which story I thought was the weakest, it'd probably be this one. The novelty and draw of having the Tenth Doctor encounter the Ice Warriors is pretty strong and that's a big reason why I'll be re-listening to this for the foreseeable future, but I didn't really have anything I could say after it was all over. I will say that Billie Piper sounds more comfortable playing Rose than she did in the other two stories - not to imply her performance in the other two stories was anything less than good, naturally - and there were quite a few good moments for Rose's character in this story. That's really about it, though. It's an enjoyable story - not the best, but definitely not bad.

The weakest of the set, I actually nodded off during first listen so had to start again!

And that’s the set finished! I thought the story was fine, a bit traditional, opposed to fun and authentic like the other two, almost like a spare 4DA. The Ice Warriors in general don’t do a great deal for me, so perhaps that had an effect.
Billie Piper really gets into the swing of things and this is a good story for Rose.

I enjoyed this one, maybe could've done with being 10 minutes longer as i agree with Audio Watchdogs comments about the refugees arc needing a bit more dramatic depth but overall it was still a cracking Ice Warrior adventure & Tennant & Piper were awesome in all three audio dramas.
8/10
