 CHECKERS: (Adult Het)

A BLAKE'S 7 novel by Pat Patera.

Color cover by Lucia Casarella Moore.

A full 5th season Blake's 7 novel with everything. Post Gauda Prime.

A deadly rivalry between Jenna and Avon may destroy Blake and the Rebellion forever.

Suddenly realizing that he lay alone and unprotected, Avon scrambled to his knees, peering through the blowing smoke, over the ruin of fallen bodies, searching for Blake. He spotted a familiar shape, leaning one shoulder up against the wall, as if suddenly weary.

Avon dodged over to him, furious at being left behind, furious at the senselessly heroic chance his friend had just taken, furious over the whole messy affair. "They're all dead, Blake! All of them!" he cried, dangerously near hysteria. "Your senseless charge got all of them killed!  Are you satisfied now?  Or do you want us both dead, too?"

This zine does contain adult situations; but no graphic portrayals, no slash.  Rating:  PG.
