The future of Solace
By Paul Tapner TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 19 April 2015
Second in a new run of full cast audio dramas based on the classic tv show ‘Blake’s seven.’ Set during the show’s third season, this follows on from Scimitar (Blake’s 7: The Classic Audio Adventures). Which saw Dayna mysteriously disappear and the crew start a quest to find her.
That’s the set up for this season of audios. Beyond that backstory, this one is pretty much self contained so you could listen to it easily enough without having heard Scimitar. If so be advised that the crew now includes Del Grant, character from the tv episode ‘Countdown’, who was re-introduced in another audio. But you can also get by without having heard that.
This story runs for fifty four minutes [approx] and is basically one long episode. The only breaks on the cd being the usual cd chapter ones.
The quest for Dayna takes the crew to a planet called Solace, in the search for a man who might have useful information. Solace is a tourist planet designed to make those who live there lots of money. But that was when the tourists came. They don’t come very much anymore, so the planet isn’t what it was.
Avon’s hunt for answers lead to a group of fanatics. With a deadly plan…
This one presents an interesting planet and a well considered society, with some all too believable politics. But it’s not quite a five star release. It feels like a bit of a slow burner, as a lot of it is Avon investigating. There’s only the very occasional bit of action. The rest of the main characters are sidelined each for a fair portion of the story. Which, ultimately, whilst pretty good, isn’t one that has any effect of the main story for the season. So this won’t stick in the mind as much as it should.
It does use Orac very well, though.
A very capable release, and a very good listen. But just not quite the best in the range.
There’s a trailer for the next release in this run on the last track of the cd. But none of the usual interviews with cast and crew whatsoever.

Well judged story dovetailing into this audio series and the third tv series perfectly

Difficult to write a review without spoilers. Yes its very good and the pace builds up nicely throughout the story.
The story thread is a carry over from 2.1. Scimitar, but it is a fairly loose arc/thread insofar as Dayna Mellanby is missing and the Avon-led Liberator crew are keen to find her.
Blake’s 7 often had harsh themes and this story is no exception; very much in keeping with early Season 3. There is a nice plot twist, and the way Avon rightly deals with it an unexpected situation shows his occasional compassion which is a treat when well handled.
Again the Grant character is present here and a very welcome addition to this crew.
Highly recommended release and series in general. Probably best listened to after 2.1 Scimitar but actually not essential. It is probably more important to listen to the appropriate The Liberator Chronicle releases to be re-introduced to the Grant character.
