Book excerpt: "Andrew Caruthers' Forever Alpha is a masterpiece of fictional writing. Not only has his series about Moonbase Alpha been met with great enthusiasm among fans of Space 1999, but the stories contained in this book were also subject to a scholarly Online Alpha discussion that lasted for almost a year. Something that was repeated in the discussion was how Caruthers' love for the series provided him with a psychological understanding of characters and relationships that has made him into one of the leading chroniclers of the new adventures of Moonbase Alpha. This book is a must-have for all those who enjoyed Space 1999 on television and wanted the series never to end."--Publisher's description.
