Thunderbirds are back and in a brand new audio adventure in a joint venture between Anderson Entertainment and Big Finish. This massive four CD, four hour extravaganza is not only highly entertaining but brings back those halcyon days of more wholesome family entertainment that seems so sadly lacking in this modern day ad age.
There's everything in this story that the listener needs for a good story. All five Thunderbirds and all the Tracey's have a piece of the action plus Lady Penelope and Parker are central to the story too. Did I mention The Hood, International rescues constant nemesis.
There also be aliens....

The adventure begins aboard Thunderbird Five as contact is lost and Thunderbird Three is sent to investigate. The crews all face blackouts from strange radiation the origin of which is a mystery. The object is seen to crash in the Gobi desert. Is this really a UFO?
One nod to continuity is mention of UFO's over England turning out to be real so now we know UFO exits in the same shared universe as International Rescue but in the past. Always good to know. After all in this format so much more is possible and a crossover with either Stingray and Captain Scarlet or both always remains an interesting possibility.
Certainly one I'd like to see.....
Meanwhile the mystery escalates, there's mysteries and a pursuit across the world to find out what is going on. There'll be no spoiler's from me.
This audio is a mixture of story reading, acting and special effects. A similar format was used for the Captain Scarlet audio adventures which are still available.
Terror From The Stars is well worth adding to you Thunderbirds collection or just picking up for pure nostalgia!
