I haven't seen any mention of this new book anywhere else, so thought I'd bring it up for anyone who missed it.

Unfortunately it appears to have had a limited print run, but hopefully copies of this will start to pop up on auction sites in the near future!

Have you read it? What did you think of it?

I've read it and don't agree with all he has written but then, there are a lot of sides to Captain Scarlet.

I found it fascinating when I read his appraisal of some of my faourite episodes, now different what he thought was important differed from my perspective of the show. CS has something for everyone!

One thing I wil say - the book should have had at least one more proofread before it went to print. Besides the odd typo, there are some glaring factual mistakes that really needed correction.

Yes, I have started reading it. There were some interesting takes on episodes and 'facts' - always a flexible commodity in Anderson shows

! I must get it finished

Sounds great, although I'm kinda bummed it's a short run book that I'll have to look for in second hand sales afterwards... That's especially difficult when you're living abroad, in a country where many sellers won't send their goods (although the local post is leagues ahead of USPS... but that's a different topic for another day)
