1	"The Sevenfold Crown"	Brian Lighthill	Barry Letts	January 1998 (1998-01)
Raiding their old enemy Servalan's HQ, the crew discover that she possesses a jewel that belongs to an ancient, longlost crown - a mystical artifact of indescribable power. The crown had the power to amplify the wearer's own psychic energies a millionfold - and with one jewel safely in her possession, Servalan is determined to acquire the circlet of metal containing the other six. But the rebels are in pursuit of the ultimate goal - the total freedom that the Sevenfold Crown can give. And if Avon does reach the Crown before Servalan, will absolute power corrupt him absolutely?
2	"The Syndeton Experiment"	Brian Lighthill	Barry Letts	April 1999 (1999-04)
Avon and the Crew are tired of running. They want to negotiate with the Federation, gain protection and settle down on a planet of their own. And the wealthy Syndexia seems just the place to do it. Or so they think. It turns out that the Crew's arch enemy Servalan is ahead of them - but it's not the wealth of Syndexia she's after. Servalan is on the trail of a certain Doctor Rossum, inventor of the nanochip. Easily implanted in the brain, the nanochip will give its controller total power over that person. And if nanochips were embedded in a whole population...? The race is on in the deadly game. Who will reach Doctor Rossum first - Avon or Servalan?

In 2006, B7 Productions announced that it had recorded a series of 36 five-minute audio adventures with an entirely new cast. The new series was broadcast on BBC Radio 7 as three hour-long episodes.

In the third century of the second calendar, the galactic Federation, once a beacon of democracy and peace, has become a corrupt tyranny. Freedom and Justice are things of the past. Roj Blake stood up for ordinary people. When the establishment tried intimidation, he laughed in their faces; when they tried to crush him, he fought back. They tried to brainwash him into obedience, but he broke their conditioning. Finally, they framed him for crimes he didn't commit and sentenced him to permanent exile on the notorious prison planet of Cygnus Alpha. The Federation thinks it has seen the last of Roj Blake... The Federation will wish it had.

The Federation's grip is tightening and Roj Blake and the crew of the Liberator have nowhere left to hide. As time runs out, old friendships are shattered and new alliances are forged.
