UNIT: The Complete Series
1.0 The Coup by Simon Guerrier
London, the near future.
UNIT is finished. The UK division of the UNIT prepares to
cede its authority to a new organisation...
But who is attempting to sabotage the hand-over?
1.1 Time Heals by Iain McLaughlin and Claire Bartlett
The UK branch of UNIT is under threat. The Government wants
its own military investigative organisation, one under its sole control. The
public want answers to the strange things that have been happening recently. When the division's commanding officer goes missing whilst
transporting a dangerous cargo, Colonel Emily Chaudhry, UNIT's political
officer, is thrown in at the deep end. Things are not helped when a series of
accidents show a bizarre pattern.
The Brigadier, meanwhile, is trying to enjoy his retirement,
but it seems that once again he must come to the rescue...
1.2 Snake Head by Jonathan Clements
A mobile phone call to the emergency services, a body found
on Government land and an ancient burial site unearthed at an archaeological
dig all point toward an odd mystery by the coast...
UNIT's new commander, Colonel Robert Dalton, and its
political officer, Colonel Emily Chaudhry, investigate strange goings-on in
Southend. What is out there on the beach? What happened to the recently found
savaged body? And what of the man who's just been smuggled into the country?
Is this just a simple case for the local police or, as
Chaudhry suspects, is there more to it than meets the eye...?
1.3 The Longest Night by Joseph Lidster
'We interrupt this broadcast...'
Having survived a day at the seaside, Robert Dalton and
Emily Chaudhry are enjoying a few pints...
Having spent the day answering the phone and praying for
some action, Will Hoffman is enjoying a night out...
Having signed a controversial new European treaty, the Prime
Minister is on his way back to Downing Street...
Having survived yet another day, the people of Britain are
settling down to eat dinner, stay in, go out, spend time with their friends...
It's just another ordinary evening in the United Kingdom.
'...We're receiving reports that a bomb has exploded in
Central London...'
1.4 The Wasting by Iain McLaughlin and Claire Bartlett
Under attack from all sides, UNIT in Britain is in disarray.
It faces a stark choice - to close its doors and concede defeat, or to fight
back, whatever the cost… and the injured Colonel Emily Chaudhry knows UNIT has
never backed down from a battle.
If UNIT is to fight back, it's going to need the services of
its missing commander, Colonel Brimmicombe-Wood, and the experience of the
Brigadier, who can never refuse when duty calls.
