Callan – the sixties spy classic – returned on audio on Thursday at Big Finish, starring Ben Miles and Frank Skinner. Four new files open for Callan in these audio tales adapted from series creator James Mitchell’s Sunday Express Short Stories by his son Peter Mitchell.
On Wednesday we announced that Big Finish is boldly going into the Star Trek universe! Out now are two audiobook readings of adventures featuring the USS Prometheus, released in association with Bastei Lubbe.
Originally published in Germany in 2016 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, the Star Trek Prometheus trilogy was written by Bernd Perplies and Christian Humberg. Now translated into English, Big Finish are delighted to beam aboard the Star Trek universe and boldly take on the unabridged audiobooks of this epic series, featuring the adventures of the USS Prometheus under the command of Captain Richard Adams.
Star Trek Prometheus is narrated by Alec Newman, who featured as Malik in Star Trek: Enterprise. Big Finish listeners will recognise him from numerous releases in our catalogue, including Dark Shadows: Clothes of Sand, Dark Shadows: The Ghost Watcher, Dark Shadows: Kingdom of the Dead, Dark Shadows: Bloodlust, Doctor Who: Blue Forgotten Planet and Doctor Who: The Silent Scream.
