Space 1999 2: Moon Odyssey by John Rankine

Space 1999 2
Moon Odyssey
by John Rankine
1975 Futura


Another four episodes.  The first child on Alpha grows to adulthood in hours, a terraforming probe goes wrong, and the crew run into themselves in an alternate universe.  The best story involves a scientist who developed a second Voyager probe, but one with a neutron drive that inadvertently left a trail of death across the galaxy.

Better source material than the first, but worse writing.  Rankine barrels through at record speed - you could probably read these quicker than watching the episodes, and some of the text is British to the point of being unreadable.

Paperback from AbeBooks
