Blood Moon reaches its climax
Lives are on the line in Star Cops – Blood Moon: Devis, the finale of the full-cast audio mini-series from Big Finish Productions, released today.
It’s the near future, and mankind has expanded its presence in space. Maintaining law and order beyond Earth is the responsibility of the International Space Police Force, known colloquially as the Star Cops. Their leader is Commander Nathan Spring.
Based on the BBC television series created by Chris Boucher, Star Cops – Blood Moon is a mini-series of six full-cast audio drama episodes, starring members of the TV show’s original cast.
In last month's penultimate instalment, London Zone, the trouble mounted up for Inspector Colin Devis (Trevor Cooper) as he returned to Earth on a personal mission. He found himself deep in the criminal underworld, in danger difficult to escape from.
The story comes to a dramatic conclusion today, in Star Cops – Blood Moon: Devis by Roland Moore, which follows on from London Zone’s cliffhanger ending as Commander Nathan Spring (David Calder) and Chief Superintendent Pal Kenzy (Linda Newton) rush to come to Devis’ rescue.
Star Cops – Blood Moon: Devis is now available to own as a collector’s edition CD (+ download) at £10.99 or as a download only at £8.99, exclusively here. Please note: the collector’s edition CD is strictly limited to 1,000 copies and will not be repressed.
The Star Cops are engaged in a desperate battle against time as the consequences of Devis’s search for Sophie play out to a tragic conclusion.
Also in the cast of Star Cops – Blood Moon: Devis are Rosa Coduri as Sophie, Steve Nicolson as Harvey Copeland, Lynsey Murrell as Inspector Alice Okoro, and Philip Olivier as Inspector Paul Bailey.
Script editor Andrew Smith said: “It’s never an easy task to bring all the strands of a series arc together in a final episode, but Roland Moore has done his usual marvellous job. He picks up the story directly from the end of the previous episode, and he runs with it.
“I don’t think we’ve ever had a final episode more satisfying than this. There’s excitement and drama in this one, but it also packs one hell of an emotional punch.”
Praise for Star Cops – Blood Moon:
“The strongest series of Star Cops to date.”
Sci-Fi Bulletin“With assured direction from Helen Goldwyn and superb sound design from Steve Foxon, Blood Moon is an absolute treat so far.”
CultBox“The dialogue is superb and the story races to a heart stopping climax. Faultless! We’ve been spoilt this year!”
