Blake's 7

Gareth Thomas and Paul Darrow read this adaptation of four classic Blake's 7 TV adventures.

On Earth in the far future, Roj Blake discovers the truth about his past life as a resistance leader against the ruthless Federation. Framed for a series of crimes he did not commit, Blake is sentenced to life of a distant penal colony planet. But his journey there, aboard the prison ship London, will shape his future in an unexpected way.

Along with fellow prisoners Avon and Jenna, Blake is sent to investigate the majestic Liberator spaceship. From there he spearheads a new rebellion, determined to free those other prisoners sentenced to life on Cygnus Alpha. Before long the trio find themselves in the hands of superstitious maniacs. Gradually Blake's crew of freedom fighters is assembled - not forgetting the Liberator's stalwart computer, Zen.

Gareth Thomas, who played Blake in the TV series, and Paul Darrow, who played Avon, read Trevor Hoyle's complete and unabridged novelisation.
