GALACTIC FREEDOM FIGHTERS!

Exiled from Dome City — where a vicious regime wields dictatorial power — Roj Blake swears vengeance on the corrupt leaders who have destroyed his future.

Hijacking the Liberator, the most advanced spacecraft ever created, Blake travels to the sinister planet Cygnus Alpha. There, risking the dreaded Curse of Cygnus, he rescues other victims of the regime from the megalomaniac Vargas...

And with these allies he forms a fighting force to combat galactic injustice: BLAKE'S SEVEN!

From the latest spectacular television drama series by Terry Nation, creator of Survivors and other smash-hit TV successes, top British science fiction author Trevor Hoyle has written a gripping novel of deep-space action, adventure and intrigue.

Far into the future the eight million inhabitants of West-Europe Dome City are forbidden to venture outside and are kept in drug-induced tranquillity as virtual prisoners of a corrupt administration. Resistance is countered by death, brain surgery to forge a personality acquiescent to the system, or deportation to a less salubrious planet. Blake, despite memory erasure treatment, falls into the vaguely familiar pattern of opposition, and faces life-long penal servitude on Cygnus Alpha, a planet wreathed in sulphurous mist on the distant edge of the explored universe. Offered the chance of a miraculous escape from the transport ship on a vast technical wonder spacecraft, it is Blake's task to secure the release of other drug dependent prisoners from the clutches of the power-crazy religious fanatic, Vargas, and to shape a combat crew of seven to destroy the system that has prescribed their doom.

On Earth in the far future, Roj Blake discovers the truth about his past life as a resistance leader — and about his fight against the Federation, a vicious, power-wielding dictatorship which rules the galaxy.

Framed for a series of crimes he did not commit, Blake is sentenced to life on a distant penal colony planet. But his journey there, on board the prison ship London, will shape his future in an unexpected way...

Along with fellow prisoners including Kerr Avon and Jenna Stannis, Blake marshals a rebellion against the London's crew. But when the ship encounters a mysterious, wondrous craft apparently floating in space, the three rebels are sent aboard — and so they take their first steps inside the majestic Liberator...
