The third part of Dalek Empire is quite outstanding. The first thing that I realised (obviously being a fan for over a decade) was that this is the same title as the 1973 Jon Pertwee story. Thankfully, this story is a lot better. Pellan is a Dalek agent. These words might sound hollow now but I knew there was something odd about him. Alby now has to find Suz and see if she knows anything about this Project: Infinity. You just know that Alby is only going along with it to get to Suz again. Tanlee who is played by David Sax (despite my initial thoughts that it was Nick Briggs) tells Alby that he has to kill Suz but when he refuses Tanlee gives the grim statement that if the Daleks find out about Project Infinity then he might as well kill himself because it will be the end of human kind.
The characters in this are all top stuff. Especially Mirana, who is a space policewoman who wont take no for an answer. What we know and everyone in the story doesn’t know is that she is a Dalek agent just like Pellan. Darn those agents. Suz is slowly becoming more and more unnerved because as time goes by she thinks that she has power over the Daleks when everyone including two year olds know that it is Daleks who have the power – always. It has to be said that Kalendorf is a truly wonderful character, he manages to stay in that position of being Suz’s hope and strength but at the same time. His relationship with Suz is starting to get worse because he sees that she is changing and becoming more delusional. Which she is.
The conclusion of this part is quite a feat of drama. Earth has fallen to the Daleks and the four words that have been mentioned throughout the series so far and is the title of this story is finally mentioned. DEATH TO THE DALEKS. The last bit sees the Daleks exterminate Suz.
This is the best part so far. The final part is going to be a treat and hopefully there will be an immediate conclusion to find out what the fallout of Suz’s death will be. Top stuff.
