Old Soldiers
by James Swallow
2007
A Companion Chronicles story built around memory, age, and the long echo of war. Told through a companion's perspective, it gives Doctor Who's adventure format a more personal, reflective edge.
Series background & context
The Companion Chronicles are Doctor Who audio stories told through the viewpoint of companions. That makes them more intimate than a full-cast adventure. The focus is not just what happened, but how someone remembers it.
James Swallow's Old Soldiers fits the format by using memory, war, and old loyalties as the engine of the story. It is a good example of how Doctor Who can tell a smaller story without losing the science-fiction scale.
This range is best for listeners who like character perspective. You get the Doctor, but slightly to the side, filtered through someone who travelled with him and still carries the marks.
