BLAKE’S 7:  THE EARLY YEARS #1.4 CALLY

BLOOD & EARTH/FLAG & FLAME

 

Starring Jan Chappell, Susannah Doyle, Michael Cochrane, Julian Wadham and Amy Humphreys

 

Cally belongs to the Auron Unity, a society of clones, fierce, militaristic and always under threat from the Terran Federation.  It’s a place of solidarity – or so the people are told -- where Unity is paramount and individuals struggle to be heard.

 

CALLY:  BLOOD & EARTH

 

On Auron, every clone lives in a world buoyed by the constant murmur of telepathic support, gossip and opinions.   When Ariane Cally’s plane crashes in the middle of a wilderness park, she finds herself cut off not only from rescue, but the voices that have sustained her all her life.  Her only hope is the mysterious Aunty, the single voice she can still hear, a woman who claims to have been the second Cally every to be born on Auron.  From Aunty she will learn the true and secret history of her people, but only if the wilderness doesn’t kill her first.

 

60 years later…

 

CALLY:  FLAG & FLAME

 

Twins are special; Auronar clone twins doubly so.  They’re grown that way.  Pilot Skate Cally and Operative Merrin Cally are a Flight Team on the Auronar cruiser Flag of Hope.  They’ve been in each other’s heads, living each other’s lives, with the same feelings, differences, orders and taste buds since they were first poured out of a vat.  But after High Command sends Skate on a one-way mission investigating Federation incursions in the Dancer Cluster, Merrin faces a bleak new future on her own, uncovering the dark half of the sister she thought she knew.
