Planets of Peril

Space 1999: Year 2: Book 1

Michael Butterworth

Having passed through a space warp, the Breakaway Moon is plunged ever deeper into the unknown, distantly removed in time and space from its home planet Earth. With their life support system in danger, Moon Base Alpha personnel mount a desperate search for Tiranium, the precious mineral essential to their survival.

Their search takes them to the planet Psychon where they fall into the ruthless hands of its despotic ruler, Mentor. Then at last release comes from an unexpected quarter - Mentor's beautiful and rebellious daughter, Maya. Her phenomenal grasp of mental arithmetic and her ability to change shape at will make her a valuable addition to the Alphan team. And on their return to Moon Base Alpha, she soon encounters the first of the constant hazards that threaten Alphan life.

Michael Butterworth

As Moon Base Alpha is drawn inexorably off course by an intense and inexplicable gravitational force, the Alphans are compelled to contend with hazards that menace their survival as much as the ever-diminishing supply of Tiranium, essential to their life-support system.

An uninhabited, glib-talking computer seeking immortality...

Two members of an ancient stellar travelling race afflicted with the dreaded Mark of Archanon...

A fanatic prone to prescient visions who foresees the imminent destruction of the Moon Base...

A race of rebellious androids who want to provoke the Alphans to hate and murder, so they can be programmed to do it themselves.

Michael Butterworth

After weeks of uneventful flight, the Alphans once again journey into perils which threaten their imminent annihilation. The Moon Base becomes the target of unknown aliens determined to secure the Alphans' vital power supplies to ensure their own survival.

A bizarre, jewel-like asteroid containing the microcosmic Heart of Kalthon which demands vast energy supplies to convert it to its original size...

An evil, ghost-like visitor from the Anti-Matter Universe seeking to materialise his dying race in the Positive Universe...

Strange humanoid life-forms kept in suspended animation and doomed to die unless awoken...

A mysterious dust cloud protecting a monstrous creature sent to steal the Alphans' life support system.

The Psychomorph

Space 1999: Year 2: Book 4

Michael Butterworth

Continuing its journey through space, the Moon Base enters an unknown area of invisible radiation, transforming the Alpha personnel into super psychics capable of fulfilling their every wish merely by thought. Koenig decides to investigate the roots of this potentially dangerous situation - but with disastrous results.

While he recovers from his mind-shattering experience, the Moon receives some unexpected and welcome visitors. Aboard what seems to be a Superswift from Earth are longlost friends and relations who the Alphans believed they would never live to see again. But only Koenig sees the truth - the visitation is nothing but a mass hallucination disguising the terrifying invasion of jelly-like aliens - and somehow he must find a way to alert the others before it is too late.

The Time Fighters

The Commander is confronted with a bevy of sadistic beauties out for more than his skin...

Back on the Moon, Maya's overloaded mind wreaks havoc amongst the Alphans. In the throes of a psycho-molecular breakdown, she unleashes a succession of hideous monsters to rampage across the Base...

Then the Psychons' salvation arrives - but Dorzak is the prisoner of Space goddess Sahala, and Carter is under her spell.

The Edge of the Infinite

Space 1999: Year 2: Book 6

Michael Butterworth

RETURN TO EARTH?

The impossible happens! The Alphans receive a message from Earth. Humans in the Twenty-First Century have discovered how to contact Alpha and how to bring the space wanderers home through matter transmission. They have just thirty hours in which transmission is possible. The operation begins, but the first Alphans transported find themselves on Earth not in the future but in the past. And the warriors they meet intend to kill them. Can they get back to Alpha or ahead to the Twenty-First Century? Where in time and space can they find a safe haven?
