Ahahahaha I loved this one! Had me hooked almost immediately with that hilarious exchange between Benny and Brax.
The whole worldbuilding angle continues to I press--this very much feels like a coherent and consistent setting--and the Draconians are especially interesting. Do they show up more elsewhere? Or in the novels? I absolutely adored the Draconian Emperor (so glad they didn't hill him off!) and would love to see (or hear) him again.
Continuity remains confusing. What, exactly happened at Trenegas? And when? Seems weird for this backstory to materialize out of nowhere after listening to 10 consecutive audio stories. Never,ind all that guff with the Dark Flame. But it does make me interested in pursuing more Benny stories, so....
Other than the torture scene (no thanks) this was an almost-perfect story for me. Very engaging plot, fantastically snappy dialog, and an interesting setting that constantly leaves me wanting to know more. Easily a 5/5.

They first showed up on television in Frontier in Space dealing with an ongoing diplomatic incident, we see their funeral practices for departed Emperors in Paper Cuts (on audio with the Sixth Doctor), and if you can find something called Mindgame, Miles Richardson (who plays Brax) does a superb Draconian nobleman.
