Happy Holidays from all at Powys — the race is on to get the book under your tree (lulu is busy this time of year) — see the Chasing the Cyclops page for the order button.
Mine’s on the way! :woohoo: Won’t be here for Christmas, but that’s ok – it will give me something to look forward to after the Christmas let-down!
Jeez, I take a couple of days to take my granddaughters to Disney World for the weekend and look what happens… Another new book from Powys!!! This caps off a pretty spectacular year for all of you (and also for all of us [i]Space: 1999[/i] fans). Great job!!! I’m looking forward to reading it.
OK, who is going to make our Christmas holiday just that much happier and post as soon as they get their copy of Chasing the Cyclops? Initial, just it out of the box impressions…
Happy Christmas to me
Happy Christmas to me
I’ve ordered my copy…
Happy Christmas to meYou are sooooo lucky you can’t hear me singing 😆
Just purchased my copy (Pay Day today!). Thanks to Spacefan for the coupon code :kiss:
Anything written by Mr Latham is a MUST HAVE purchase imho 😉
I wonder who’ll get it first… Zack hopefully! LOL! :cheer:
Heh heh heh… Just got the shipping notice.

Firstly, apologies I’ve not been around for a long time – I am up to my neck in a fairly long illness, and though I haven’t contributed in a long while, I do pop in to glance at what has been going on.
Anyhow, I am pleased to report that my two copies of [b]Chasing The Cyclops[/b] were delivered by the Royal Mail about a hour ago. Not bad going by either Lulu or the Royal Mail, who have been hit quite badly in parts by the extreme weather we’ve been having in the UK recently.
As a long standing fan of William Latham’s writing ([b]Resurrection [/b]remains my favourite [i]1999[/i] novel, along with John Rankine’s [b]Android Planet[/b]…) I am pleased to be one of the first to report that I have the finished product in my hand. And it looks like 168 pages of how to build a novel. If you have the writing talent, that is. (I suppose it’s a bit like the literary version of Tim Heald’s [i]The Making of Space:1999[/i]….!)
The book looks nice and polished, and will go well with the novels themselves in the bookcase.
I rather enjoyed Bill’s afterword to [b]Eternity Unbound[/b], which gave an idea of the thought processes behind writing the expanded version of his debut [i]1999[/i] novel, and some of the difficulties and issues involved. [b]Chasing the Cyclops[/b] is the same idea, but much expanded. I am pleased in a small way to have been able to contribute a little bit to the efforts of Powys Media and their merry band – moreso in the early days; (at present I don’t have much energy for anything, I’m surprised I’ve got this far in a forum post….!)
Anyway, one copy for reading over Christmas, and one copy to go on the shelf.
Thank you all and Merry Christmas. Oh, and Mateo: my ‘other’ Christmas present also arrived today. Thank you!
And now, back to my sick bed. But at least I’ve something to read while I’m there 😀
