My take on this is that I’d rather get one or two (or even three) books per year that were good than get a book a week that the majority of which are total crap. I am aware of the problems that Mateo spoke about in his post and I’m actually surprised that he has kept up the publishing business at all. He has had a lot on his plate over the last few years. I know that Powys are working hard to have some Space 1999 books ready for the upcoming convention so I guess that the Prisoner novels will come after that.
Everyone wants a new book the minute they finish the one they are reading but the world doesn’t work that way and we all have to be patient. It would be so much better if authors could write their books a quickly as we can read them but I don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon…

Thanks for sharing this, it’s amazing what is still out there to be found.

They now have an 8 page sneak peek at issue 1. I don’t have the link sorry, I couldn’t find it… 🙁

I agree with Chase, I liked the fact that Alpha bumped into these mysterious beings who looked on them and children in need of protection, as if they were very ancient beings and the Alphans were a child race just emerging into the universe to become something as great as the mysterious beings they encountered. To lump all the MUFs together as one race overly simplifies the stories into one homogenised arc to be liked or disliked accordingly. You can dislike it or you can like it but for now it is the only Space 1999 we have. Sure we have promises of future projects and some comics have appeared on the horizon, but for now it is the only Space 1999 we have and I am happy to devour it as quickly as Mateo and co can produce it.
I feel that the Powysverse cheapens the grandeur of these beings and diminishes the scope of the overall Alphaverse created by Gerry Anderson. I read it from the perspective that it takes place in the Powysverse and not in My Alphaverse. My Alphaverse is just as grand and mysterious as ever.

Some do, some don’t. Either way, I missed tuning in to hear the broadcast… 🙁

11.30 PM…. Might just be a little early for me, or late… My brain can’t do working out time kinda stuff… What time is that in real time? I mean Australian, eastern standard time of course, but surely the most sensible time to live in. 🙂
I will try to tune in if I can work out the celestial mechanics of it all.

[Glenn McCrabb]

Well, I’ve finished it. It didn’t take too long, I was on a deadline remember. I had to read the whole thing in a week and a bit, when I got the official copy I just read the foreword, afterword and the acknowledgements. I don’t like to re-read a book so soon. I like to leave it for a while. 😉

[Glenn McCrabb]

Great news Mateo. We’ve all finished the compendium and are now hanging out for the next book… 🙂

[Glenn McCrabb]

There may be a delay with the releases, when I last spoke to Mateo, he told me he was in the process of moving house. We might have to be a little understanding for a while.

Just search for “Happy Dance” on Youtube and you’ll get the general idea of what it’s like… 😉

[Glenn McCrabb]

Oh Mateo, I posted the video on Youtube, see if you can find it. 😛

Now to clear a space on my larger format books shelf… I also have a handful of happy customers. 🙂

[Glenn McCrabb]

Ooh, if you do, see if you can tune into my frequency and pick me up on the way. 🙂

[Glenn McCrabb]

Well, I have a shipping confirmation. I suppose that is progress. No word on my personally autographed copy from the Author. 😉

I have my dancing shoes ready, but no dancing til the book is on the shelf.

[Glenn McCrabb]

Hmmm, try paying by PayPal. That doesn’t work. I have sent an e-mail to Lulu that will take up to 4 days to get an answer.

Why do I always have trouble ordering through Lulu? 🙁

Like I said, no dance until the book is on my shelf.
