Space: 1999 Moonbase Alpha Technical Operations Manual – a complete guide to life on Moonbase Alpha “This is one gorgeous book. This is set up as an in-universe manual that provides an overview of everything a person coming from Earth would need to be comfortably oriented to live on the Alpha Moonbase. The layout, the accompanying text, the art and design of the book is spectacular and clearly a labor of love from everyone involved.” – Rick, United States Would you have liked to visit Moonbase Alpha? Have you ever wondered how life on a Moonbase in a fictional 1999 might have been? Ever wanted to know how to fly an Eagle? Then your search is over! For the first time ever a complete guide to the world of Space: 1999 can be yours – and you’re going to feel like you were right there alongside Commander John Koenig and Doctor Helena Russell. A lavishly illustrated premium hardback with hundreds of brand new illustrations detailing every aspect of Moonbase Alpha’s structure, vehicles, locations, technology and operations. Based upon the 1970’s Technical Notebook, this edition is hugely expanded covering all aspects of the 1975 Gerry Anderson series. Produced by Anderson Entertainment and led by the extraordinarily talented artist Chris Thompson, this 272-page edition is packed with information about life on Moonbase Alpha featuring over 250 brand-new illustrations. The book has been produced to feel like the manual given to Alphans as they depart from Earth ready to take up their new position on Moonbase Alpha. “This book is a gorgeous love letter to Space: 1999 fans all over the world. While it is vastly superior to the original Alpha Moonbase Technical Notebook, produced decades ago, it is still an homage and tribute to the work done for that edition. After finishing this book, I am enormously pleased with the purchase.” Jonathan, UK

This manual takes all the parts that you know of from the series and adds some additional items to fill in the background to the origin of the moonbase. Very enjoyable. I hope that they do some more for other Anderson series.
