The Norse Code by John Dorney, partners Steed (played by Julian Wadham) with Mrs Emma Peel (played by Olivia Poulet):

Steed has the horns of a dilemma, Emma milks her moment.

An agent has gone missing whilst holidaying in the Norfolk Broads. With an American nuclear bomb being stored in the region, Steed and Peel can't take any risks.

But the last thing they expect to find on their boating trip is a Norse longboat. What are Vikings doing in East Anglia?

The Avengers: the Comic Strip Adaptations originally appeared in Diana Magazine in 1966 and 1967, and you can order reprinted Comic Strips in a book at £12.99 or on PDF at £7.99. †¨

Big Finish will also be releasing a new Avengers tale in August 2018 featuring all the Avengers. In The Avengers: Too Many Targets, John Steed collaborates with Dr David Keel, Mrs Emma Peel, Mrs Cathy Gale and Miss Tara King in a new adaptation by John Dorney, based on the 1990 novel of the same name by John Peel and Dave Rogers.

Two agents are dead, and their murderers sound worryingly familiar. A killer gorilla is on the loose, a deadly disease is ravaging a distant country and an eminent Doctor has been kidnapped. It’s all pretty much business as usual.

But when John Steed is called in by his old boss and given an appalling task to complete at the same time as Tara is given one that’s even worse, it becomes clear that the myriad threads of a terrifying scheme are drawing together. The fate of the world hangs in the balance. Steed won’t be able to handle this case alone.

The Avengers are needed. All of them.

This two-disc release can be pre-ordered now on CD at £14.99 or on download at £12.99.
