Jenna Stannis gets a distress call from Verna, an old smuggler friend, with Vila in tow she goes to investigate and walks straight into the arms of Thomack, her estranged, fanatical brother who wants her help in his quest for vengeance against Major Kade the man who killed their father.
This is Sally Knyvette's first appearance in the Liberator Chronicles and while she manages to re-capture Jenna perfectly this isn't a particularly great story. Yes it's nice to get some back story for Jenna I still don't feel she's come into her potential (like say Cally in the last instalment) - I want to see her kicking ass and she's still very reactionary here - despite being removed from Blake and the rest of the crew. Whilst Vila is highly entertaining I also didn't feel much interest in this particular pairing - he doesn't add much to the story.
In terms of relating to the wider B7 universe - this explores the ideas brought up in a conversation she has with Avon - where he asks her if she could kill someone in cold blood. In the audio adventures - Major Kade crops up again in season 1.4 - Mirrors - where Travis uses him as a ploy to bait Jenna.
Overall this one's not bad - both voice actors do a credible job, I just don't feel this one's as exciting as many of the other B7 audios. Some of this is down to character - It's not featuring the more larger than life-scene stealing characters. But much of it is down to story - this doesn't add much to the major story arcs, and doesn't alter my perception of the characters other than to flesh out Jenna's past a little. The pairing of Jenna and Vila didn't really add any tension or interest me that much. And the music isn't as rousing as some of the other audios either. The whole old friend distress call ploy is also a bit unoriginal - heck its the same plot device that kicked off as the last story!
Still enjoyable, but there are far better B7 audios out there.
