Dark Between The Stars Issue 1

Mini Review

by Sarah Thompson

There's some non-explicit het action in this issue, the first of 5. In "Death-Shadow," Avon is forced to serve Servalan until he is saved and reunited with his true love Cally. In "Goblinfruit," not only does Lord Avon make it with Meegat, but Vila and Gan are also entertained by local ladies. All are observed from the cynical pov of Jenna. Fans of dark A/B may like "The Room," a short (2 pp.) PGP A-B chiller. The opening sentence: "The madman walked down the stairs carrying the dead man in his arms."

The Actors Index is a fun guide to those familiar faces (not just the regulars but the guest stars as well) who keep turning up on various other British shows.
