Space: 1999 Survival by Brian Ball has sold through its print run and is no longer available through Powys (or Lulu). The only remaining copies are available on Amazon, so get them while you can.
Couldn’t even find a second hand copy on Amazon UK when I looked (didn’t try Amazon.com).
There is a copy on EBay though 🙂 I’m lucky enough to own two 😉
Talking of “Survival”, I finished re-reading it last night. Absolutely 1st class and utterly enthralling once the Leira turn on the Alphans. The destruction of Main Mission and the activation of Command Centre are wonderful and iconic moments that I think every fan would’ve liked to have seen on TV. Characterisation and dialogue is spot on and the battle of Alpha is thrilling to read. The way that Victor’s “Death” is handled is also touching and hearbreaking. If anyone wonder’s why Koenig is so different in his approach and outlook in [b]Year 2[/b] to how he was in [b]Year 1[/b], this novel explains why, seguing from the first to the second series seamlessly.
It would be nice to see this made available via Lulu with Typo’s corrected and perhaps a new cover by Ken Scott. Like “Eternity Unleashed”, this novel definitely deserves a reprint or Deluxe Edition re-print!
11/10!
I don’t know, but I have a strange feeling somehow that – no matter whether there is still demand or not – that’s the last we’ve seen of [b]Survival[/b]…..
Like you though, I bought two copies. As I always do. Bwaahahahah! :laugh:

I should add that in my opinion I rather think that any praise for [b]Survival[/b] should probably go to the editors rather than Brian Ball. I’ve never been convinced he’s watched more than a couple of episodes of the series 😉
