There isn’t a lot of mystery at all, really. But what is missing here is the strong intrigue that was present in some of the better TV show episodes. Even then I’m not sure I got it right.Īs for the story, there are some fun areas-a good sampling of action and adventure, and many obstacles for the main characters to overcome. (Perhaps the phrases in question are more meaningful to a reader from the UK.)

Part of this is undoubtedly due to the many years since the book was first published, and part could be because the writer was British. To start with, the writing is filled with euphemisms and comparisons that aren’t meaningful. Never having read this book when it was originally released (way back in the 70s) I was curious to read it-looking forward to it, actually.Īfter having read it, though, I have to say it isn’t one of my favorite Space 1999 books.
