    Just saying Hi, snce this appears to be the thread to do it in! I’m a big 1999 fan and have been ever since those heady days in the mid’70s, when I had a giant Mattel Eagle and the world was new.

    Since then I’ve become a professional writer, with over 30 short story sales to my credit, including a couple for Big Finish’s line of Doctor Who anthologies. I also co-edited The Children of Cthulhu for Del Rey Books. I doubt I would have become a writer if I hadn’t had 1999 and Doctor Who there to help inspire me.

    Thank you, Mateo, for bringing back John, Helena, Victor, Alan and the rest!

    Cheers Mateo! I still remember when Phoenix of Megaron was first released . . . all of a sudden the book’s primary color was red rather than purple, and I vividly remember how it popped off the shelf at me. Sticks out like a sore thumb between the earlier Pocket novels and your black spines! 🙂

    By the way, you may not remember me, but we met at the Gallifrey con a couple of years ago, and I picked up a set of all your books (though I stupidly passed on Resurrection, figuring that if it was included in Eternity Unbound, I didn’t need it). It was great fun talking about the series with you, and I’m very glad you and Powys are back.

    Just received my copy in the post today, and it’s lovely . . . a nice, chunky paperback; just the way I like ’em. Can’t wait to start digging in!
