ABOUT THE BOOK:
Coming this November from the Official Gerry Anderson Store is Maybe There: The Lost Stories from Space:1999! Authors Robert E. Wood and David Hirsch have gathered and novelised the original stories written in the early days of production on the internationally acclaimed television series Space:1999, making them available to fans of the show for the very first time.
Fans will uncover the differences between Gerry & Sylvia Anderson’s original story Zero G, George Bellak’s first draft of The Void Ahead, and Christopher Penfold’s uncredited shooting script Turning Point. Each of these tales show the evolution of the pilot episode with scenes and characters that never made it to the screen.
Also included in this hardback collector’s book are Christopher Penfold’s original storylines for Guardian of Piri and Dragon’s Domain, an adaption of Keith Miles’ early draft for All That Glisters and an insight into how Art Wallace originally envisioned the episode that became Matter of Life and Death.
