Takes you back!

Really enjoyed these three stories. They cross over to Audible very well. Lovely to hear such clear spoken English these days!

Professional high budget science fiction

If you loved the TV series then you must buy these audible books. They have the same actors telling the story as appeared on the television series so all the characters sound right, as I remembered them to be.

Enjoyable narrated by the Great Paul Darrow

It has classic era feel stories, the first story is read by the great Paul Darrow, who could read the phone book and make it sound good as far as I'm concerned! All the familiar characters from the classic first two series are mentioned which adds to the enjoyment.

Not quite the same as watching the TV show

Not quite the same as watching the TV show in the 80's. Now that was exciting.

New B7 stories!

A mixed bag of short stories. All in keeping with the TV series. I will look forward to more.

Blake sounds old

Three excellent stories read by Avon, Vila and Blake respectively however Blake / Gareth Thomas sounded old which put me off the final tale.

Classic Blake and crew - now buying part 2

If you liked the series you will like the audio. true to the legacy of Terry Nation, the writing carries on the 'noble quest' against the Federation.

not cannon

it was briefly nostalgic to hear the characters again but the stories were unsatisfying. I am sad that this doesn't live up to the memories I have.

Not as good as previous entries

Would you try another book written by the authors or narrated by the narrators?

Only if it was a full cast audio.

How could the performance have been better?

There is a lead actor narrating, with another actor occasionally appearing.

Any additional comments?

Would be a far better listen with a full cast. Just comes across as quite a cheap production.
