![]() In Omega, Latham has chucked in every season one nuance that has yet been revisited in the new novels save cavemen, antimatter, Darians, and the kitchen sink. Arra, Anna and Luke, Cellini's Dragons, and the Black Sun's MUF (Mysterious Unknown Force) here have alternative histories and outcomes than what anyone that has ever watched the original series could have come away with after watching. ![]() In this work, Latham has turned some classic Space: 1999 lore on their heads, and not necessarily to the benefit of the audience. This was a fun quick read, and I knocked it out in a few hours this morning. Having just finished Omega, and not yet starting Alpha, consider this only a mid-point review. And honestly at these prices, one volume at 360-ish pages would have been more appropriate. The only excuse that comes to mind is that Powys is trying to simulate that good old-fashioned 2-parter cliffhanger episode feel. Shame on Powys Media splitting the story in two. Omega and its ".Spectacular Sequel." Alpha are indeed one novel and should have been sold as such. ![]()
