The book finishes with comprehensive Mission Files, making it the complete and essential manual for all Spectrum Agents."
Released in late 2017, the manual also contains cutaway drawing of a number of vehicles (as well as a certain location) that made an appearance in Thunderbirds and Thunderbirds. Such vehicles include Zero-X (which also appeared in Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons), the WAF Wombat, the RTL-2, and World Navy battleship W.N.S. Atlantic.
