    Nah, I think I’m excited to get the finished book in my hands, and that’ll add an extra frisson, to see what she says in it![/quote]

    just got my copy today (Saturday), a bit quicker than I thought I might get it.

    I like how the Eagle on the front cover is both larger and whiter than before

    year one, year one and only year one
    the sets, the music, the SFX, the scale and grandeur, the mystery, the atmosphere and the metaphysics, etc., all are superior to what we were given in year two. Maya, although an interesting creation, completely derailed the show. And the less said about Verdeschi the better.
    sure I watched year two when I was a kid, but even then I was mostly disappointed. I missed the music, the sets, but especially the atmosphere. And I despised the signs. I kept waiting though for something as good as year 1 to air, but it never happened. Sure, the explosions and SFX in eps like Metamorph and Space Warp were fun and kept me entertained, but often I found it nearly unbearable to watch when something like The Taybor or Matter of Balance was on.
    For me, there is absolutely no connection between the two years and Space 1999 would have been far better off if year two had never been made.

    fantastic news!
    I’ve been reading news and snippets about this one for years in the Online Alpha posts. It’ll be great to finally get to read it

    I have no problems with sans serif being used in books myself, as that’s the predominant text style on the internet and online reading has never been a problem to me.
    It’s interesting that a quick google check tells me that “serif is more readable” is essentially an urban legend.

    Just ordered my copy of Shepard Moon as well. Even found a 10% off coupon to use (READMORE2010) which knocked a couple $ off the total.
    It’s fantastic to see the Space: 1999 line continue onward!

    I’m curious to see how Lulu does as well. I find it odd that orders in the US can take up to 3 weeks for delivery, but only 1-2 days for the UK.
