"Danger and Deception" is the 6th release in Anderson Entertainment's Thunderbirds audio series. Although not released digitally until January 2024, physical CD editions began circulating in late November 2023. It contains the stories The Revolution, Mr Steelman, The Trapped Spy and The Big Freeze.
An increase in size from the previous releases, all four stories within were adapted from Thunderbirds comic stories originally published in TV Century 21.
Synopsis[]
The Revolution[]
A rebel militia deliberately sabotages the atomic ocean liner President, causing it to become jammed in the San Miguel canal. International Rescue races against time to prevent the ship from capsizing, while defending themselves against the hostile rebel leaders and the imminent arrival of the San Miguel army.
Mr Steelman[]
Lady Penelope and Parker meet for the very first time and embark on a mission to save the world from the scheming villainy of the terrifying criminal genius known as Mr. Steelman. Danger lurks at every turn and if they’re not careful, the intrepid duo’s first mission could also be their last!
The Trapped Spy[]
International Rescue is caught in an impossible situation after a Universal Secret Service agent is trapped behind enemy lines. When Jeff Tracy refuses the request for help, the USS resorts to blackmail to get what they want, risking further lives in the process and stretching International Rescue’s resources to breaking point.
The Big Freeze[]
A failed missile defence test at Camp 21st Century leaves the personnel of the Antarctic base freezing to death and in deadly danger of radiation poisoning. Thunderbirds 1 and 2 race to the danger zone, but the harsh polar conditions hamper their rescue efforts and leave the chances of success perilously slim.
