Summary
Charlotte Pollard's adventures are over. She escaped death aboard the R101 and travelled in time and space - but now in the service of the monolithic, unknowable Viyrans, their unending mission is stifling her.
An encounter with would-be adventurer Robert Buchan near the mysterious Ever-and-Ever-Prolixity provides the opportunity Charley needs for escape.... So the adventuress is abroad once more, meeting a lost expedition in uncharted forests, solving enigmas and hoping beyond hope to see the people she misses most: her family. But Charley cannot run forever.
The Viyrans know the power of the Lamentation Cipher, and they have a solution...for everything.
- Part one: 'The Lamentation Cipher'
- Part two: 'The Shadow at the Edge of the World'
- Part three: 'The Fall of the House of Pollard'

Brilliant Doctor Who companion story
Not sure how much sense this will make to anyone meeting Charlotte Pollard (Charley to her friends) for the first time. However she's been my favourite companion since Storm Warning and I've been through most of the audio adventures she features in. The writing here does a great job of keeping the stakes high without imbuing Charley with superhuman abilities. She does what she's always done, and that's why I loved it.

Didn't really float my boat
It's a bit like Hitchhiker's Guide, but without the satire. I liked Matt Fitton's other work, but Charlotte Pollard just didn't do it for me -- I'm not really sure why. The presentation and sound effects are very Hitchhiker-esque, and the plot ideas equally silly. The difference, I guess, is that Douglas Adams used the silliness to satirize the human condition, while here it's just, well, silly.
