Based on Chris Boucher’s acclaimed TV series, which was first broadcast in 1987, Star Cops is a police procedural with a science fiction twist – the eponymous officers’ patch expands out to the planets, moons and space stations where the human race of 2027 reside. 

The officers of the International Space Police Force are now back in six-part mini-series Blood Moon, currently being released in monthly instalments. Star Cops – Blood Moon: Daughters of Death by Nicola Baldwin continues the story which started in January’s release I Was Killed Yesterday. 

The series features original TV cast members David Calder (as Commander Nathan Spring), Linda Newton (Chief Superintendent Pal Kenzy) and Trevor Cooper (Inspector Colin Devis), alongside Philip Olivier (Inspector Paul Bailey) and Lynsey Murrell (Inspector Alice Okoro). The cast of Daughters of Death also includes Rosa Coduri and John Banks. 

Star Cops – Blood Moon: Daughters of Death is now available to own as a collector’s edition CD for £10.99 or as a download from the Big Finish website for £8.99, exclusively here. Please note: the collector’s edition CD is strictly limited to 1,000 copies and will not be repressed. 

As one of the team reels from a shocking discovery, an accident investigation on an orbital laboratory becomes something more sinister. Kenzy and Alice find themselves drawn into conflict with its lead scientist. 

Script editor Andrew Smith said: “It’s a real pleasure to welcome Nicola Baldwin to the Star Cops writing team. Nicola is an award-winning playwright whose plays include Woman From Mars, about the first British astronaut, Helen Sharman.

“One of the notes given to writers joining us on Star Cops is that the space stations aren’t the sleek types seen in regular sci-fi, but are more like the present day’s International Space Station, with weightlessness, clunky hinged hatches rather than sliding doors, and the like. The Mir station, where Sharman was stationed, was very much like this too. 

“Nicola has applied her particular area of knowledge to this episode set aboard an orbital space station called the Sharman One, where zero-gravity experiments are being conducted. The Star Cops arrive to investigate what appears to be an industrial accident, but may be something else entirely. This is Nicola’s first script for Big Finish, but I’m sure it won’t be her last.” 

Big Finish listeners can purchase Star Cops – Blood Moon: Daughters of Death as part of a bundle, alongside January’s I Was Killed Yesterday and the four upcoming Blood Moon instalments, for £54.00 (collector’s edition CDs + downloads) or £45.00  (download only). 

All the above prices include the special pre-order discount and are subject to change after general release.
