Ah well, I have a shipping notification. Mine are on the way and should be here in a week unless customs decide to cdo a spot check in which case it could be anywhere up to a month… :angry:
Also, at what point in the timeline did the ATAP Alphans split away from the established timeline? There could be quite a few Alphans alive and well living in Another Time Another Place… 😉
A Powys Miracle! I got home today and found Mary’s Monster on the door step. Some MUF at the post office expedited it beyond the light barrier and it arrived practically before it left. Thanks again Mateo. 🙂

I’ve just finished reading Chasing the Cyclops. A couple of things that had never occurred to me before were brought to light. The whole secret sequel thing went right over my head, it takes so long for mail to get to Australia that Omega still hadn’t arrived when I saw that Alpha was available. I don’t think I was even on the forum until after I had ordered the books so the hints left there by others were lost to me. I must say that my chats with Bill Latham and Mateo have helped me understad the differences between the “Powysverse” and what I now have to call the “Zackiverse”. My relative isolation here in Australia means that I haven’t done much travelling for fandom’s sake. Conventions are nice to go to but the cost of the con, coupled with the air fare and accomodation makes for a very expensive week or two away. As such I have spent many years developing my own ideas about what was what on Alpha and who did what to whom and haven’t had the 1999 fan community to discuss the ideas with. No problem, my universe sits quite nicely in its own niche and the powysverse is a reasonable substitute, even though there are some things that are just plain wrong.
I really enjoyed Chasing the Cyclops, much more in fact, than I thought I would. It is almost a directors commentary to the books and I will now go back and re-read then armed with what new insights Cyclops has granted me.
Once again a big thank you to Bill Latham (and his faulty mouse) and Mateo who have revived Space 1999 for all of us fans and for keeping the quality so high.Before I go, why does the cyclops on the cover remind me of the flying spaghetti monster?
Amazing! I posted a pic of the AP cover on facebook and one of my friends messaged asking if there were new 1999 books and why I hadn’t told them before this? I didn’t even know they were a fan of 1999… 🙂
You may have a new customer. :woohoo:Excellent stuff! You might outdo yourself and we’ll have two books of the month. I’ll be all worn out from Happy Dancing to do any reading… 😉
Got me a refund from Lulu, to cover the cost of the discount voucher I wasn’t able to use. Nice people those Lulu guys. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Time to Happy Dance I think…

Finally managed to order the book… After 3 tries. :angry:
I tried to use a discount code and the order wouldn’t go through to Pay-Pal. Contacted Lulu and they cancelled the order and gave me a new discount code. Tried again but the same problem occurred. Had to forget the discount code and pay full price. Surprise, surprise the order went through no problems. Over an hour of frustration and anger and all for $20.00 hardly seems worth the effort.
Mateo told me to look later today not asap… :angry:
On the other hand, New Book! WooHoo!
New Book, New Book, New Book, New Book, New Book, New Book, New Book, New Book, New Book!
Happy Dance Time :cheer:

Whew, I’d better order the book before I get out of control… B)
The dream of my Space 1999 book of the month club is slipping away… :laugh:
If I call Chasing The Cyclops my January title I still have a chance of keeping the dream alive. 😉
I think it’s almost happy dance time…
🙂 :cheer: :laugh: :woohoo: :laugh: :cheer: 🙂
Just warming up… 😛
Thanks for the update Mateo, you know we still love you, even though you are sooooooo slow getting us a new book. 😛
A week! One week! One whole week, seven days or a business week, 5 days? I could wait a business week but I don’t think I could hold out for a whole week. 😛
You aren’t alone Steve, we’re all waiting for more info on these books. I for one want them now, I’m sure Mateo is reading this and will get right on the case… You hear that Mateo? Your mission, should you choose to accept it…. 😛
I guess we’ll all just have to be patient. :blink: Awww forget it let’s get mad!
