New Blake’s 7 Book

Big Finish have announced that of the second book in their Blake’s 7 series, Archangel by Scott Harrison, is available for pre-order.

Set between the televised stories Trial and Killer, Archangel concerns events immediately after the demise of Olan 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.

The new novel is written by Scott Harrison, who in addition to being a playwright and a contributor to Faction Paradox‘s range of short fiction, is also a huge Blake’s 7 fan.Harrison also edits the Modern Masters of Audio series, which is produced and directed by Neil Gardner.

Harrison is simply ecstatic to be invited to be a part of Big Finish’s Blake’s 7 line:

“I hope to make the novel as breathtakingly exciting as each of those 52 TV episodes have been for me over the past 30-plus years.

To be invited by Big Finish to be a part of this range, particularly at its outset, is surely every writer’s dream, not to mention a huge honour.”

Blake’s 7: Archangel is available for Pre-order now from Big Finish along with the first book in their Blake’s 7 range, The Forgotten By Mark Wright and Cavan Scott.
