Which Space: 1999 Book Is Right for You?

A making-of book, a Moonbase manual and a comic anthology offer three different ways to return to Space: 1999. Choose according to what you want to discover: how the series was made, how Alpha works within its fictional world, or more illustrated adventures.

For the making of the series: All Sections Alpha

All Sections Alpha: The Making of Space: 1999 expands Tim Heald’s original book with Fred McNamara’s critical guide to all 48 episodes and coverage of novels, comics and audio adventures. This is the choice for a reader interested in the programme’s production and its wider creative history.

The hardcover has 344 pages and measures 304 × 228 mm. UK price checked on 9 September 2026: £27.99.

For exploring Moonbase: Technical Operations Manual

The Moonbase Alpha Technical Operations Manual is an in-universe guide to Alpha’s structures, vehicles, locations and operations. It includes more than 250 new illustrations by Chris Thompson, making it a different reading experience from a production history.

For illustrated adventures: Comic Anthology
