Now Available: Space:1999: The Whispering Sea (2014)

My new book, the officially-licensed Space:1999 novel The Whispering Sea (Powys; 2014), is now available. You can purchase it at this link.

The book is my first venture into the Year Two series continuity, and serves as a "bridge" between the episodes "The Metamorph" and "The Exiles." The story explains how the shape-shifting Psychon, Maya (Catherine Schell), went from being a refugee and alien on Moonbase Alpha, to its resident science officer.

Seriously, this book was so much fun to write, and if you're a Space:1999 fan, I hope first that you purchase it, and second that you enjoy the hell out of it.

Hey Kenneth, speaking of Space 1999, have you seen this model that Martin Bower has just finished recently ?

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for sharing that link! I had not seen Martin Bower's "Vulture" yet, but now I'm really hoping for a model kit! :)

Beautiful work, and it is fantastic to see a new ship from the wondrous 1999 'verse!

best,
John

Great! I am sure your novel would have been an excellent filmed Space:1999 episode.
