The Forgotten

2012

At the very edge of the Federation lies an area of space that doesn't appear on any star chart. No one has ventured there for decades. No one knows it even exists. The Forgotten are waiting. Under attack from a fleet of Federation ships commanded by Space Commander Travis, Roj Blake and his band of freedom fighters pilot the Liberator into a strange, nebulous cloud. Immediately, their systems become erratic, super computer Zen goes offline and life-support begins to shut down. They are adrift, lost in space. Their only hope is a seemingly abandoned space station at the heart of the cloud. But what secrets await them? The Forgotten will be remembered. This book is published by Big Finish Productions, Ltd. and distributed by Untreed Reads Publishing.

Archangel

2012

Archangel finds the rebels trying to move on from the horrific death of crew-member Olag Gan. When an old friend of Blake’s – believed to have been murdered five years earlier by the Federation – is discovered alive in a labour camp on Sigma Minor, the rebels decide to mount a daring rescue attempt. But the talented cybernetic engineer Blake once knew is a shadow of his former self. His memory has been wiped, his family are prisoners of the Federation, and his name is inextricably linked to a sinister project known only by a codename: Archangel.   Archangel: an ultra-secret experiment so dangerous, so horrific, so terrifying that it was shut down by the High Council and ordered never to be reopened… until now. This time, death may be the Liberator crew’s best option.

Lucifer

2013

Many legends surround the aftermath of the collapse of The Federation, including the fate of Kerr Avon... What happened to Avon after the death of Blake and the crew of the Scorpio? Paul Darrow's vivid re-imagining picks up Avon’s story at the final moments of the final episode of Blake's 7 and follows him on his fight for survival, this time with no crew and no ship to help him. The adventure continues years later as Avon, now an old man, finds himself a key player in the game of power politics being played out on a grand scale by The Quartet - four ruthless leaders in an uneasy alliance, who govern the world in place of the Federation. Old enemies resurface and dangerous new ones appear as the time comes for old scores to finally be settled...

Lucifer

Revelation

2014

A Chinese empress, head of a formidable space fleet, and keeper of dark secrets... A beautiful killer, known as 'the Huntress', on a deadly mission fuelled by money and revenge... A figure from the past, still fighting the system, and desperate for help... Avon is back, and there's trouble brewing! Look out for old friends, new enemies and startling revelations in the second part of Paul Darrow's epic trilogy, Lucifer: Revelation, telling the story of Avon's life in the far future, beyond the events of the TV episodes. Many years have passed since the death of his companions on Gauda Prime, but Avon is still very much on the minds – and a thorn in the sides – of those in power. On the run in a stolen spaceship, Avon has world leaders, warlords, aliens, bandits and hitmen on his trail, all hoping to seize control of the super computer Orac, and to be rid of Avon once and for all. But those who underestimate Avon do so at their own peril...

Criminal Intent

2014

Set in the early days of the Liberator, Criminal Intent finds Blake planning a raid on a prison ship – the perfect place to recruit more rebels looking for a chance to strike back against the Federation. But the crew of the Liberator find more than dissidents hungry for revenge, including a secret so terrible that not even the Federation knows the full truth...

Lucifer

Genesis

2015

Powerful, intelligent, ruthless... Servalan as a child, learning early about power and how to get it... Avon as a young man, finding ways to beat the system... Two sides of a coin, two lives on a collision course... The events on the Liberator are only a part of their story. Now it’s time to find out how it started – and how it ends. Lucifer: Genesis is a compelling and vivid reimagining of Avon’s life, starting long before the events of the TV series, following his journey from the Liberator to the Scorpio, and leading us into the bleak future of the post-Federation world. Genesis is the third book in Paul Darrow’s Lucifer trilogy.

Mediasphere

2015

BRAND NEW STORIES OF THE CLASSIC TV SERIES! “Look over there. Do you see Dayna in the shadows, instinctively pressed to the wall? Zoom in, study her: the hint of sweat, the tautness of her face, the tightness of her breath. That last moment when she can let the tension show, before she steps out and strikes. She thinks no one can see her yet. It doesn’t really register until she stops singing, until she stops moving, until the audience erupts into noise. More people are going to see that than were living on the whole planet she grew up on. And that’s when her knees try to buckle.” Dayna is in the spotlight as the Liberator crew infiltrate the Mediasphere, a space station which produces the Federation’s propaganda and popular entertainment. But who is really controlling the Mediasphere – and scripting a series of deadly encounters for our heroes? Jonathan Blum and Kate Orman are best known for their co-written Doctor Who novels, including Fallen Gods, which won the 2003 Aurealis Award for best Australian science fiction novel. They live in Sydney. Mediasphere is set between the TV episodes Powerplay and Volcano.
