The third century of the second calendar. Roj Blake is about to discover a powerful spaceship and spearhead a rebellion against the despotic Federation. But he can’t be everywhere at once...

Throughout the galaxy, brave people fight for freedom, without the benefit of miraculous alien technology. Avalon has only her wits and her contacts to rely on - but her name too will become legend.

Terra Firma by Steve Lyons

The Resistance on Earth has been decimated. Blake has been arrested. Avalon returns home, to the seat of the Federation's power, to pick up the pieces. But she'll need the help of a self-centred smuggler named Jenna...

This is the opening episode of The Worlds of Blake's 7: Avalon Volume 01, a series of adventures featuring the eponymous rebel leader.

Recorded on: 5 February 2021

Reviews

Terra Firma introduces a lot of themes that are going to be important as this series develops, and also ties up a few loose ends. It definitely whets the appetite... I appreciated the inclusion of the 'making of' interviews in this collection, and the way Avalon's story moves forward. Her story will continue... which nicely sets up Avalon Volume 2. If the future Avalon volumes live up to this standard, I think fans will be happy.
Horizon - Blake's 7 Online

Big Finish have opted to explore an expanded Blake’s 7 narrative, and to tell new full-cast and single-voice audio stories intertwined with the established television and audio canon. The commitment to this new approach is impressively realised in Avalon: Volume 1.
Rich Cross, Cultbox

The universe of Blake’s 7 is expanding. Avalon is taking up the fight. And with the likes of Stephen Greif providing a bridge between this world and the world of Blake, and the likes of Chris Chapman and Becky Wright supporting Olivia Poulet’s confident central figure, Avalon, Volume 1 is a great way to start opening up of the Federation’s universe. The resistance is back – and it sounds brilliant.
Warped Factor

The Avalon series reeks of potential, offering a fascinating view askew on the Blake’s 7 universe and this first volume is a great start.
