Was the vulnerable thief Vila killed – or just wounded? What happened to the computer Orac? Would the scheming Servalan regain her old powerbase? And what of Avon himself, the unbeatable, unpredictable paranoid who had ended it all? Afterlife is Tony Attwood's brilliant continuation of the Blake's 7 story. ecorded on: May 2025 Recorded at: Home Studio Producer Peter Anghelides said: "When we released the audiobook of Paul Darrow's prequel novel Avon: A Terrible Aspect, we knew we wanted to do the same with Tony Attwood's Afterlife, because it's the other original novel from the time of the TV series that bookends the whole of Blake's 7. ""The book was first published by Target Books in 1984 – appropriately enough, a year that's long associated in literature with a dystopian world ruled over by a dictatorial leader. Four decades later, we are revisiting that world of a faceless bureaucracy cruelly directed by an uncaring supreme commander. "Following directly on from the explosive TV finale, Afterlife reveals not only the consequences for our heroes from Scorpio, but also what happened to the character most significantly absent from that story – Servalan herself. Now fans can hear these startling events brilliantly read by the familiar voice of Alistair Lock in this brand-new reading." Alistair Lock said: "This is like a wide-screen version of Blake's 7. Avon, Vila and Servalan are such iconic characters, and I've relished being able to bring them to life in this audio recording of Tony Attwood's novel. ""I've had great fun acting in audios for Big Finish set during the original stories, so it's a bit of a treat now to work on an audiobook that is set after the events of the TV series." At over seven hours long, the Big Finish audio production is a splendid tour de force by Alistair Lock, who gives each character their own voice, with passable impersonations of Avon's nasal sneer and, of course Orac's irascible tones, familiar from Lock's previous Big Finish audios... Mark Plastow's cover art has captured Avon's wary, thoughtful, appraising expression, which is so much a part of his character. It sets the tone for the whole story. Horizon (blakes7online.com)
