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
Blake looked up from the file. He’d been conscious, for some time, of a presence standing at his elbow. Now, unable - and unwilling - to tolerate the silent scrutiny a moment longer, he whirled... and found Avon.The computer tech jumped almost guiltily, retreating a few steps and pretending a sudden interest in a jagged piece of metal on a console. His hand ran down the rough edge. “I can’t help wondering why this hasn’t repaired itself,” he mused out loud. “It would have seemed that, by now, Zen would have had ample time to have attended to something so minor.”
For a moment Blake considered accusing Avon of standing there and staring at him but the whole idea was so ludicrous that he immediately dropped it. Another of the crew, perhaps, but Avon? Obviously it had simply been his own active imagination. “Perhaps Zen has more important things to do then attend to something that is only a comfort measure.”
