Five Star Five: John Lovell and the Zargon Threat E-Book [DOWNLOAD]

Five Star Five: John Lovell and the Zargon Threat E-Book [DOWNLOAD]

  • Description

    A brand new novelisation of the previously unreleased Gerry Anderson feature Five Star Five. Five Star Five was Gerry Anderson's answer to Star Wars, and was on the cusp of entering production in 1978 when the financing for the feature collapsed. Now, for the first time, the world of Five Star Five has been brought to life by author Richard James in this novelisation of the original feature script by Gerry Anderson and Tony Barwick.

    THE TIME: THE FUTURE
    THE PLACE: THE UNIVERSE

    The peaceful planet of Kestra is under threat. The evil Zargon forces are preparing to launch a devastating attack from an asteroid fortress. With the whole Kestran system in the Zargons' sights, Colonel Zana looks to one man to save them.

    Except one man isn't enough.

    Gathering a crack team around him including a talking chimpanzee, a marauding robot and a mystic monk, John Lovell must infiltrate the enemy base and save Kestra from the Zargons!

    Five Star Five is a novelisation of a script by Gerry Anderson and Tony Barwick.

    About the Author
    Richard James's association with the worlds of Gerry Anderson began with playing Officer Orrin in Space Precinct. Since then, he has novelised the pilot episode of Space Precinct, Demeter City, and written four new adventures for the officers of Precinct 88, Space Precinct: Revisited. His memoir, Space Precinct Unmasked, details his time spent filming Gerry's last live action series. He has also adapted a lost sit-com script from Gerry Anderson and Ronnie Cass, The Fat of the Land, as a play for the stage. Aside from his Anderson credentials, Richard has written a Victorian detective series following the fortunes of Detective Inspector Bowman of the Yard.

Three Cheers for Richard James

Anderson Entertainment struck gold with Richard James, and I hope to see many, many more novels from him in the future. His no frills writing style is direct, to the point, with no fat on the bone. Mr. James is to be commended for doing something that is very rare in this day and age, which is to entertain his audience and not lecture them. If you want an exciting, entertaining, faithful adventure in the world of Gerry Anderson, check out Five Star Five: John Lovell and the Zargon Threat or any of the other Richard James authored novels set in the Gerry Anderson universe. Long live Gerry Anderson's memory, and long live Richard James.

Incredible

The narrative of this book is far beyond anything I expected. It is clearly very well planned and incredibly executed. I found it engaging from first page to last and impossible to put down at the first read. A real MUST for all Anderfans out there who are interested in 'what might have been' and in my mind, a fitting tribute to the works of the man we loved and miss dearly. A serious and heartfelt 10/10 from this reader. Keep it up Richard, Jamie et all

Exciting

I really enjoyed this. I don't read a lot of novels, so this was fun. Excellent work Richard, I think you really nailed it. It was definitely a Space adventure reminiscent of the character driven SciFi stories of yesteryear, but it felt really new......
