Wow! Received mine today in Florida (US). I wasn’t expecting it until at the earliest tomorrow (Tuesday) if I were lucky. Listened to the first few minutes and it is so great to hear Barry’s voice. He is great. Thanks to everyone at Powys.
Very cool! Looking forward to it!
Thanks to everyone for all the hard work. It’s been a great year for SPACE:1999 fans and PowysMedia.
AlbertI absolutely loved 99% of this novel. It was what I had been waiting for as a Year 3 story. I loved that other previous characters were mentioned and brought into the story.

!Well, I found that Maya was rather uninvolved. She seemed absent where she should have been active. Sometimes she was mentioned in passing, where I think she should have been there presently. She seemed rather low-key and depressed, unlike her appearance on the television episodes. I expected her to be much more prominent, considering the personal interest she should have taken in the other Psychons. When the Psychons were first discovered, no one seemed very surprised or exciited.
For the most part, I loved pretty much the entire novel. It truly was what I would have loved to have seen in a Year 3 episode. I loved the mention of previous characters and explanations for the many “coincidences”. It made it seem more realistic.
It made sense how Hawks were brought into the story. It was something we fans would love to see and it was very believeable.
The new aliens were great, their awesome descriptions making them very real and refreshingly different.
As for the ending, I was disappointed in the change in Maya. I understand the reasoning, but don’t think it was necessary. I would have preferred if Psyche had simply caused a change in Maya that allowed her to become pregnant.
Towards the end of the novel, it seemed to jump around too quickly and it was kind of confusing following what was happening.
Most of the times the characters were “in character”, even with their known phrases (I could almost hear them saying the lines) though a few times seemed unrecognizeable.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved BFA and had a hard tiem putting it down. Looking forward to reading OMEGA.
