If these titles have been cleared for an audiobook reading, that should mean that they're clear for an ebook release. The last few Benny anthologies have had ebook and audiobook releases, as well as the last couple of Blake's 7 prose releases.
This set contains some pretty important parts of the Benny continuity, including resolving something from the final Benny book published under Virgin.

I don't know how you'd jump to that conclusion regarding ebook release. Reading a book aloud as an audiobook is not the same as republishing a book in a different format. |

In any case, this was an instant pre-order for a Benny and Lisa Bowerman fan like me. Already pre-ordered the whole bundle.  |

Ooooo so are these the main ones? Apart from the new stuff, the only classic benny releases ive heard is seires 3 and i was even a bit lost then
Are these the main extended material you need to understand the series properly? If so thats excellent and will be an instant pre order and means i can start fully collecting the series which would be nice, i do want to start soon as i can imagine the classic audios going out of print the second they become digital which i reckon isn’t far off

Well I was going to get a main range subscription to fill in a gap in my collection, now I don't know what to do. Do I hold off on this for a week and do the subscription? Or should I hold off on the subscription for the Benny bundle?

On Facebook Xanna Eve Chown has confirmed there will be Q&A tracks with Lisa Bowerman, like how the Blake’s 7 audiobook Uprising had with Stephen Greif.

I'm quite delighted by this turn of events, I've been hoping for this for a few years now.
Hopefully they'll do the entire range of novels and short stories.

I love Big Finish's audiobooks, and so when new ones are announced in general, I'm ready to throw money at them immediately, but in this case, having unavailable Benny novels read by Lisa Bowerman is a dream come true. We got the slightest hint of it back when BF released Treasury last year, but now we have fully fledged novels. SQUEEEEE!

Are these going to be download only or is that just at the moment?

Don't know if there are any rights issues preventing a CD release, but I wouldn't be surprised if they stay download-only. Less of a cost to just produce downloads.

Squire's Crystal in particular will be a welcome release by many given it's quite important to the ongoing Benny story from the single disc range.

Not the best cover in my opinion, it would have been great if they could get Adrian Salmon to do them to fit in with the early range, but hey I won't complain. They're still gonna be great and preordered |
