You Can Go Back Again,
By
This review is from: Space: 1999 Alien Seed (Paperback)
I have to hand it to E.C. Tubb. Alien Seed (A first series novel) is great. Being a fan of the show (Series One before it turned into a Star Trek Clone) Tubbs's representation of the characters are nearly dead on. I personally miss Dr. Bergman and Kano from the series (They Were dropped in Series 2 and their roles were combined into Maya. I hate her more than Jar-Jar. Call me a purist!) The story was actually better than regular Space 1999 episodes. It wasn't so much reading it as watching it in your head, with the british accents. (Victor's "John" or Paul Murrow's "Commander!" It is well worth the money if you are a fan of the show.

A Retro Treasure...,
By Mark Savary "moon_city" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Space: 1999 Alien Seed (Paperback)
What a joy to see that my all-time favorite science fiction program, "Space: 1999", is enjoying a well-deserved renaissance."Alien Seed" is a reprint from an original "Space: 1999" novel issued back in the '70s, which focuses squarely on Year One of the series. While the book doesn't deal with quite the level of existential metaphysics of Year One, it it an enjoyable read, nonetheless. The action and settings are vivid, and the mystery surrounding the alien seed is finely crafted. Best of all, the characterizations are right on the money. You really feel that you're on Moonbase Alpha, trying to solve a dangerous, life-threatening puzzle right alongside your Year One heroes; Commander John Koenig, Dr. Helena Russell, Prof. Victor Bergman, Sandra, Paul, Alan, Mathias, and Kano. The key to this is the believability of the dialogue for each character. You can almost hear the actors reading the lines in your head as you follow the story, but that isn't all. You might also hear a strain or two of Barry Gray's music, the unique warble of stun gun fire, the quiet beeping of Main Mission control consoles, and the distinctive sound of an Eagle lifting off from the pad. At that point, you know E.C. Tubb was doing something right. While this is a relatively short book, it could be the feeling of brevity is due in part to the rapid, page-turning excitement of returning to Moonbase Alpha after all too many years. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful

Space: 1999 Alien Seed,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Space: 1999 Alien Seed (Paperback)
This is a great book for Space 1999 fans. This book is for the fans who collected the books from the 70's or just miss the show. This book takes place with in the 1st season of the tv show and is an original story, not a story re-written from an episode like most of the original releases. This is a reprint of the book released in the 70's under the same title. But if you collect the books or have never read the original this book is worth the money.
