Hope this is good. I am interested because Wayne Forrester is in it. Loved the New Captain Scarlet.

I'm interested in this, just worried the narration may not work for me. A mix of narration and full cast right?

Jennison (isn't that a name and a half?) wrote some amazing Thunderbirds novellas roughly at the same time as his Captain Scarlet stories. They're the kind of adventure stories I wish I could write. Nicely plotted, well-characterised with a heady dose of danger ranging from the perils of deep space to an earthbound supervolcanic eruption.

Near as I can gather from Podcasts and comments DG is an outside narrator while WF and LM perform in character and as a couple of other characters so closer to CC. another thing is length they're about 4 Hours long each.

Regards mark687 I'm assuming the original books are the length of a Target novelisation, and the readings of those are typically four or so hours.

The Armada paperbacks tend to be 120 pages or so, judging from The Albanian Affair and The Secret Service's The Destroyer which he also wrote. Goodreads puts the Angels book at 128 pages which sounds bang on the money.

I have a question that may be quite silly, but is this the same as the 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Box Set or are they completely different stories?

They are two different things. The boxset is a collection of 5 1967/8 audio stories, 8 episodes of the TV show that were adapted to audio in the 1990s, and a new hour-long documentary. The Spectrum Files are brand new audiobook adaptations of three TV tie-in novels written by John Theydon - and I utterly love them! Had a sneak listen a few weeks back and came away feeling like I'd just experienced an episode of the show that just been missing for half a century. Really lovely releases.

Now I have something else to get.
