About this listen
After the mysterious events at Coal Hill School, the British government has created the Counter-Measures group, a specialist team that investigates strange phenomena and dangerous technology. Their first missions will involve a haunted warehouse, a groundbreaking artificial intelligence, a mysterious new town and a threat to the future of the country....
Four full-cast audio dramas plus a behind-the-scenes documentary.
Threshold by Paul Finch.
A missing scientist and ghostly phenomena bring Gilmore and Allison to a factory in Bermondsey and the discovery of a science that should not exist. As Rachel Jensen returns to help them, a new future for Counter-Measures is set in motion....
Artificial Intelligence by Matt Fitton.
Investigating a suicide at the Sen-Gen facility, the group discovers a new weapon in the Cold War - and Gilmore meets an old flame. Meanwhile Rachel discovers that she can't trust anyone, not even the sound of her own voice....
The Pelage Project by Ian Potter.
A case of industrial pollution leads the group to the new industrial town Pelage and a dangerous meeting with its leader, Ken Temple. And deep within the plant, it appears that an alien invasion is already underway....
State of Emergency by Justin Richards.
There are creatures from another dimension on the streets and traitors in the halls of Westminster. When the government is in jeopardy, Rachel, Allison and Gilmore take on a faction staging a very un-British coup....
Written by: Paul Finch, Matt Fitton, Ian Potter and Justin Richards. Directed by: Ken Bentley.

Yes, good Avengers style fun!If you’ve listened to books by the authors before, how does this one compare?

Just listened to all of the available series on Audible, 1-3, back-to-back.
The story follows the Counter-Measures team solving mysterious events, similar to ‘The X-Files’. Based during the 1960’s, it has a period ‘The Avengers-esque’ soundscape to match.
The first series is OK, but a bit of a mess in places; within the behind the scenes documentary it is acknowledged they learnt what worked and what needed changing. And am happy to say that series 2+3 are both much improved.
The main issue with Counter-Measures, for me, is the delivery of one actor’s lines. So often they’re flat, lack emotion, or are poorly timed which results in them jarring with the flow of dialogue. It does improve in the latter half of series 3 so am hopefully once Audible gets Series 4 it’ll be a 5* all round review.
* Series 1 - July 2012
* Series 2 - June 2013
* Series 3 - July 2014
----------------------------
Not yet available on Audible:
* Series 4 - July 2015
Then it morphs into ‘The New Counter-Measures’:
* Who Killed Toby Kinsella - July 2016 (duration 2 hours)
* Series 1 - December 2016
And one last thing to say is, Hugh Ross is fantastic as Sir Toby Kinsella. He’s got a great voice.
