Davros is now nearly 30, stuck in the military and angling to get into the scientific corps. A mission from the Supremo may be his ticket to glory—as long as he can survive an incursion into the Thals’ camp and a treacherous trip across the Wastelands, where unspeakable horrors dwell…

Part 2 is just as good as Part 1. I really love the sound design in this series; it totally has the vibe of Classic Who, from the interstitial music to the Dalek-sounding voices. These aren’t actual Daleks (yet) of course, but their voices sound quite similar. Plot-wise, we see more of Davros’s mother’s Lady Macbeth streak, or rather her Medea streak… There were some pretty ice-cold moments in this one and a very nice callback to Part 1. On to Part 3. ( )

Terry Molloy comes back in Purity, to tell the story of young Davros' entry to the military elite and the continuation of the story of his calculating mother, Calcula. Lots of glorious references to canonical Skaro lore, including not just the Mutos from Genesis of the Daleks but also the Varga plants from Mission to the Unknown/The Daleks' Master Plan; and the political leader of teh Kaleds is the Kaled Supremo, a very nice touch. The plot is perhaps the least original of the four stories - Davros and friends sent on a mission which is fore-ordained to failure - but it's very enjoyable. ( )
