Imagine if you could transfer your mind into a powerful, virtually indestructible robot body. As close to immortality as you could ever want! An old idea by any standards but there is always life in any old concept. Sadly, despite nods to Capek and RUR, among other robotic nuances there is little to riase this story above the dreary. If "Sevenfold Crown" made you reminisce about how good B7 was as a TV series then this particular audio adventure will make you pine for it even more so. This is totally awful with few redeeming features. I wish there was a ZERO option for the ratings as this is so bad and such an insult the original series. It takes effort to listen to this and simply refuses to get any better. It tales some of the ideas from the original series, throws them out and replaces them with lamer concepts eg Vila's affinity for adrenalin and soma is replaced by something almost akin to becoming a hardened chocoholic. Forget this one and pray that there are no more from Barry Letts.
