UNIT: Extinction will be released in November 2015, and is available for specially-priced pre-order, with all pre-orders getting a copy of Nicholas Courtney's memoirs
A Soldier in Time as a free download as "supplementary content" in
Big Finish accounts. Three additional box sets will be available at six monthly intervals, with all four available for a bundled pre-order.
