The new Blake’s 7: Origins novelisations are out now from Big Finish, adapting the whole of Series A and the first story of Series B.

The BBC sci-fi classic launched in 1978 – with the first season’s final episode originally airing 45 years ago today – following Roj Blake and a group of outcasts rebelling against the Federation.

Now, Blake’s 7 fans can relive the first 14 TV episodes in a brand-new set of seven hardback books written by seven acclaimed sci-fi authors and authorised by the Terry Nation Estate.

The seven book titles and authors are as following:

The Way Back/Space Fall by Paul Cornell

Cygnus Alpha/Time Squad by Marc Platt

The Web/Seek-Locate-Destroy by Gary Russell

Mission to Destiny/Duel by Jacqueline Rayner

Project Avalon/Breakdown by Steve Cole

Bounty/Deliverance by Una McCormack

Orac/Redemption by James Goss

Producer and Commissioning Editor Peter Anghelides said: “It’s been a joy working on these books. These aren’t just transcripts of the original stories – each of the authors bring something from their own interests and experiences to them. As it’s starting with the very first episode, you can read them all and discover Blake’s 7 for yourself.

“The idea was that they’d be written by people who were known for being Blake’s 7 enthusiasts and to my delight, I got all of my first choices. Even better, everyone got their first choice for the episodes they wanted to write which was almost too good to believe.”
