Welcome to a special re-release of a Blake's Seven story...
Over the years many of us have come and gone into Blake's Seven fandom...and, over the past year, it's come to my attention that there is now a whole new set of "fans" for this very special fandom.
That's terrific news, of course, for anyone in Blake's Seven fandom, it's always fun to have someone new in the group. However, for the new fans it can be very frustrating to "find" all those old, great stories they hear about -- most of which are no longer in print! To help those new fans, or even give the "old" fans a chance to re-read an old favorite, KnightWriter Press is hoping to re-release a number of previously published stories in this fandom!
Keep in mind, all the stories in the "Re-Release" series (no matter by what author!) will have been previously published at some prior date. That's why they are coming out in Digest format so that you can pick and choose among those you have not previously read -- or those you want a copy of no matter whether you've read it or not.
At any rate... enjoy these stories, they are the author's favorites -- and so tend to be the best of the best in a fandom that created some of fandom's classic writers!
Excerpt
Roj Blake looked intently at each of his five crewmembers seated on the forward couch on flight deck of the Liberator. He sat in the middle, with Jenna on his right and Cally on his left. "I cannot stress this enough," he said earnestly, "no one is required to do anything this time. I don't know for sure if the claims of the people of Taurus Minor are true. There might not be any ancient lost technology and therefore, no need for our expertise.""Our expertise?" Avon inquired sarcastically, from his place on Cally’s right.
"All right. Your expertise," Blake sighed, stroking Avon's ego as always. "But, remember, I am not forcing you to go. I can check it out myself and see if it’s worth anything."
"You don't sound too enthusiastic about this, Blake," Gan remarked.
"Frankly, I don’t think this will be worth our time." Blake frowned, having spent considerable time in research with ORAC.
"Then why go?" Jenna asked.
"Because there’s always a possibility I could be wrong," Blake replied grimly.
As usual, Avon took the shot. "There's a first. You admitting it".
"Ah, lay off it," Vila admonished, only verbalizing what the others had thought. He had prompt second thoughts however when Avon gave him a dark glare.
"In return," Blake continued, ignoring them both, "we'll find out just what this discovery is and have a potential new ally against the Federation."
