Why this must be read:

I may be slightly biased for this was wirtten for me, but Jenna is my favourite Blake's 7 canon and she got one of the roughest deal in canon: a famous smuggler and brilliant pilot often reduced to fluttering her eyelids at Blake. *shudder* This fic is Jenna as she was meant to be. And she gets to be a smuggler, and have her own ship and crew.

The Blake-Jenna interaction is smashing, believable and contains a lot of thoughtful foreshadowing, whilst the pacing is superb, managing to race on without ever actually feeling rushed. There's more going on that what's said, and enough hints given for the reader to fill in the gaps.

Plus a lovely OC who is far more believable in this shortish fic than he has any right to be.
