Mateo and all,
I am so very grateful for Powys and for its Main Mission. I must say that I have joined the party somewhat late. As a young teen when the series ran in the ’70s, I was a big fan. But life marched on, and I forgot about Space:1999 until a few months ago when I saw Martin Landau on a local TV station. Which led to an “oh, yeah…I used to love that Space:1999 show” moment, which led to some internet searches, and then reading every bit of fiction online that I could find, then a flurry of purchases (the DVD set and lots of books) and a corresponding depletion of my bank account. Heh. Anyway, I really feel like I have been catching up with an old friend that I haven’t seen for 30 years.
The TV series told a captivating story of the human spirit by way of the Alphan’s struggles and their adaptability and strength throughout. What I’ve read of the Powys books successfully upholds the spirit of the series. The quality of the stories has been impressive and I am very much enjoying all of them.
So to Mateo and to the authors, I say…THANK YOU. And please keep them coming!
BTW, a very small part of me is glad I had forgotten about Space:1999 until recently. With new fiction about Moonbase Alpha only trickling in, those years must have been – well, like wandering about space hoping a new home was right around the corner. 😛
What a great day…go to a dog show and have fun – then come home and find this news! I think I just set the world’s record for the shortest time between reading a post and ordering a book. 🙂 Great news!
Got mine today too! Very impressive turnaround – I ordered on the 24th, received on the 29th in the U.S. It was well packaged and looks nice.
