Being brave and noble is fine, but in the universe of B7 and with enemies such as Servalan it obviously doesn't suffice. This is why I appreciate stories such as Sondra Sweigman's "Choice", in which Blake has to do much more than just "sacrifice himself heroically" in order to save Avon.
Thanks, Natasa. And if anyone wants to find out *how much* more, that story (like Jean Hubb's "Grey Scale", mentioned earlier for its look at moral ambiguity in time of war) can also be found in "The Way Forward: Crusades of Blake", available from me in the US, from Judith Proctor in the UK and from Pat Fenech in Australia. (If you get the idea that we have some unsold copies we're trying to find homes for, you're right :-))
