Written by Richard James and originally released as a limited edition hardback novel in 2024, First Action Bureau: Damaged Goods tells the formative adventures of intelligence operative Nero Jones and the dangerous secrets that she unravels in the technological utopia of 2068.
Nero Jones has led a troubled life, but things are about to get a whole lot worse... Press-ganged into joining First Action Bureau, a shadowy organisation set up to counter terrorist threats, she finds herself thrown into a range of increasingly more dangerous and thrilling missions under the guidance of the mysterious Nathan Drake.
While Nero learns more about the Bureau, she's haunted by half-forgotten memories that lead her to question everything she knows. Just what is real and what is fake?
As she delves deeper into the Bureau's history, she comes to a startling conclusion; nothing is true!
First Action Bureau is a spy-fi drama produced by Anderson Entertainment and created by Jamie Anderson and Nicholas Briggs. With its overarching themes of deep fakes, big data and artificial intelligence set within a world of hyper-modern spy-fi action, First Action Bureau thrusts the futuristic imagination and excitement of an authentically Anderson-esque production into a very modern future.
First Action Bureau began life as a 120-minute audio drama with a star cast consisting of Genevieve Gaunt, Sacha Dhawan, and Damaged Goods serves as a prequel to the audio drama's riveting sci-fi mystery.
