why would they?, the folks doing the ST-TOS new voyages in Lake George
NY are with their Orion Slave Girls and no one feels let done. One of the
Specualtions made by Straker was that the "aliens" also imposed their Mind
Patterns on captured Humans ( see The Cat with Ten Lives, The Man who came
back and Kill Straker ). One would assume they would seek to have a host
as close to their orignal bodies as possible? As to the studio making a a
profit they did once, and Straker had a hell of a job explaining it

I think that tidbit was in the UFO novelizations (not the episodes),
wasn't it?

Who are the audience for the "ST-TOS new voyages"? I'm thinking that
I'm unlikely to see this production at the Odeon Leicester Square,
unless I take a laptop.

I was unaware of any novelizations.
Anyone know when they were published, or by whom?

Thanks,
Matt

Heh, heh, they were published back when the show
first aired -- 1971 in the UK, and 1973 in the
USA. They should pretty easy to find, either
on a used book search, or via eBay.

They look like this:

UK book 1: http://ufoseries.com/books/novelUK1.jpg
UK book 2: http://ufoseries.com/books/novelUK2.jpg
US book 1: http://ufoseries.com/books/novelUS1.jpg
US book 2: http://ufoseries.com/books/novelUS2.jpg

Pretty sure it's not in one of the episodes. It's definitely in one
of the novels, though - the first one, probably.

By the way, a quick search on eBay revealed that there are 3 copies of
the first UFO novelization available there now, and 7 copies of the
second novelization. All of them are the USA versions (different cover
design than the UK versions). Just do a search on "UFO Miall" (Robert
Miall is credited as the author) to find them.
