Product Description

Starring internationally renowned actors Martin Landau, Barbara Bain, Barry Morse and Catherine Schell, the British-made Space: 1999 was the only truly original space adventure of the mid-1970s. Sandwiched between the demise of the original Star Trek and the opening of the Stars Wars series on the big screen, Space: 1999 featured a richly-visualized world where space was terrifying and mysterious, where not all problems were solvable by technology and the space travelers were very human. From the science fiction show's conception in 1973 to its cancellation in 1977, this reference work covers each of the 48 episodes in depth, including a full plot synopsis, writer, director, guest star credits, and critical commentary that examines both the episode and other shows that have used similar plotlines. The popularity of Space: 1999 memorabilia and its many fan clubs are fully discussed, along with the possibility of a future movie or reunion show that would tie up the loose ends caused by the show's abrupt cancellation.

4.0 out of 5 stars A facinating book on one of the most underated sci fi television series ever, 18 Sep 2008

By	David - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I am a fan of Space 1999 - I grew up watching the series on Saturday mornings. John Kenneth Muir's book Exploring Space 1999 is a facinating look at this series. The book details plot synopsis on all the episodes as well as the shows history and final cancellation.

Mr Muir has a very readable narrative style and often compairs Space 1999 to other television series such as Star Trek. This is the type of book you don't have to read from cover to cover. You can read about you favourite episode or perhaps why the series was cancelled. The only slight let down is the lack of illustrations - there are a few behind the scenes photos but very little stills from the actual episodes themselves. Still this is a minor gripe.

All in all a very well written book. The author knows his stuff and obviously loves Space 1999. If like me you are a fan of the show then this book is for you.
