I recently bought UFO-1 Flesh Hunters off ebay. How many books are
there in the series and what are the titles? |

There is one other book, UFO 2 but i forgot the title beyond that, also
written by Robert Miall. I remember liking the UFO novels a bit better than the original Space 1999 novels. There are online editions of the novelizations that go beyond #2 and while I never got around to reading them I really enjoyed the work that went into the covers. (Actually I looked it up! here is the link!) http://shadolibrary.org/library/deborah/index.htm As for new UFO novels, Fanderson put out the question a few months ago about whether or not this list was interested in new UFO novels. I forget what the consensus was on that, it kind of went into a discussion on why it's difficult to order from them. At the time I remember the UFO script book put out by Fanderson was doing poorly. Last Friday night on Destinies, the Voice of Science Fiction (A local SF radio show for me) Howard Margolin had publisher Mateo Latosa on the air for an hour discussing the POWYS media line of new Space 1999 novels. Howard had read The Forsaken (And interviewed John Muir) and was impressed by it and also had met POWYS writer Bill Latham at a convention a few weeks prior. While he was discussing the book line with Mateo he brought up the idea of new UFO novels but Mateo isn't interested in that right now. POWYS media did secure the rights to do new novels based on the classic ITC series The Prisoner though. Anyone around here interested in The Prisoner? So two "classic" UFO novelizations out now, more if you consider the UK editions. I think there may be editions in other countries as well. If fanderson moves ahead with new UFO novels there will be some new ones coming. In the meantime there is the comic book coming up which should be alright. I bought and read the first Supercar one and it was pretty good. And there was also that Japanese Manga comic version of UFO which had updated a bunch of the ships (More than one missle on the Interceptors I think I remember) I'd love to see those translated and put in an omnibus edition! http://users.rcn.com/detroyes/ufo1988/index.html At 12:03 AM 5/21/03 +0000, you wrote: >I recently bought UFO-1 Flesh Hunters off ebay.

One more thing I forgot to mention, you can find these pretty cheap off of
ABEBOOKS.com by searching under Robert Miall you can avoid typing in UFO and thus getting 1,000's of hits on UFO books but not the type of UFO book you're looking for. My search brought up 68 books for Robert (He did one for The Protectors, The Adventurer and Jason King as well!) and the UFO titles are Flesh Hunters and Sporting Blood. I see some copies for sale as low as $2.00 not including postage! http://dogbert.abebooks.com/ |
