The Liberator crew track Dayna to the satellite defended Appallon Five, where her ship is destroyed before their very eyes.  But when Zen points out the successful deployment of an escape pod, they find themselves infliltrating a Federation complex inhabited by none other than former Federation agent Karine Mellanby and her companion Kramer.

But is all as it appears?  Or is the entire situation an elaborate trap?

“Should we be worried?”
“About Tarrant, perhaps.  About Vila, I highly doubt it.  About Grant, very likely.  He’s becoming quite the born-again revolutionary…and we both know how dangerous they can be.”

“Then there is the planet Carwen in the system of Naeadis.  Space travellers are warned to stay away from this planet.  Why?  Perhaps because it holds a secret which is jealously guarded.”

“It seems odd…that a place like this even exists anymore.  It does seem rather…decadent.”

“The Desolation…right on the edge of the galaxy, light years from any of the major stellar routes…six D-class planetoids were completely destroyed, and their remains form a massive cloud of asteroids surrounding a dying star. 

There is no life to be found there at all – in fact, nothing, apart from rocks and hard radiation.”

“Sounds delightful.”

There are big changes in store for veterans of last season’s Classic Audio Adventures.

“You’re just a weak man, hiding behind a gun.  Come too close to me, and I’ll…”
“I’ve had all that from Cally.  It’s boring.  Jenna, I wanted to say this to you for a long time.  Shut. Up.”

Vila’s turned tail and defected to the fascists.  With his help, Travis is now on board the Liberator and in control of Zen.  And they’re about to meet face to face with a very high level nemesis…

And so it’s time once again for another installment in the adventures of the Liberator crew.  Last time around, the erstwhile Vila Restal wound up left behind subsequent to yet another exploratory dead end, forced to commandeer a Federation ship only to find himself joined on deck by none other than their dogged pursuer Travis…

Now a prisoner on icy Horst Minor, Vila is subjected to a psychological and physical third degree, while the Liberator crew mounts a rescue operation.  But there’s far more to Horst Minor than might at first appear, and they’ll face off against the highest order of Federation hierarchy before it’s all over.

Worse, just what sort of horrific genetic experimentation is going on down there amidst the planet’s frozen wastes?

RIP: Paul Spragg (1975-2014)

It is with honest sorrow and heartfelt regret that I am moved to inform of the untimely passing of Paul Spragg of Big Finish.  I am told that this was both sudden and unexpected, with coworkers trading emails with him mere hours prior.

“Avon, do you ever see someone and think they’re not a fool?”
“Only when he looks in a mirror.”
