Summary:
It takes place years after Gauda Prime when Blake is president of the Refederation and Avon is his chief advisor. The close friendship between Blake and Avon is central to a story of political skullduggery that has its roots way back in the past, in Avon and Blake's childhood."
Review:
Blake's 7 was a British Sci-Fi show created by Terry Nation (creator of the Daleks). It originally aired in Britain between 1978 and 1981. If you want to know more about the show I did a
Fandom PIMP post for it @
smallfandomfest This fic is a good one for people that haven't ever seen the show. It's AU, so it can be read as an original Science Fiction story without needing the back-story of the show.
What I like most about this story is that it's a completely original story idea, I've never read one like it. So many fics use the same basic premise over and over, and while we love them, every once in awhile it's nice to read something completely different.
There is an awesome review of The Last, Best Hope
here, that does more justice to the story than I could ever hope to.
