0.10 (Opening sequence) That was our resident alien that we had there , he was in every episode that they required an alien. Gito Santana and it was great to go out to have lunch with him . He’d sit there with his eyes y’know and he’d be talking about his agent or ten percent. Or whatever. This is a fantastic opening. Really grabs you. This incidentally is one of…
REVIEW: Spyder’s Clouds and Shadows
When I started reading fanfic, not all that long ago, I tended to steer clear of ‘slash.’ Not because I thought it was ‘drek’ or ‘smut’ as some people are wont to describe it, but simply because the vast majority of the ‘slash’ that I found in the UFO fandom was, to be honest, not worth reading. It was usually poorly written, with virtually no attention to the characters and…

REVIEW: dragon’s Moonlight & Vodka
Well. To be honest I was so MAD when I read this story for the first time. Why? Because An Delen Dir had set the Challenge and I had planned my story. Straker and Freeman in Moscow and Straker gets kidnapped. Then I read this story from dragon. Sigh. So it was back to the drawing board. And one other thing annoys me about this story – dragon writes in…
Back in the Saddle
It is with relief that I can inform our readers that the recent action by our enemy forces met with only limited success. After extensive re-configuration of our adiestator systems and off-world tamardilitors we were able to fletarate the programme and regain control. We regret any distress caused to our readers and assure you that all steps are being taken to ensure that this unfortunate incident does not occur again….
The Shepherd – Hefted (Chapters 14 & 15)
Chapter 14 Thursday night Steam billowed out as the door opened. He was not at the basin as she had supposed, and she froze on seeing the tall figure standing there, his back to her, one hand on the wall as water poured over him, pooling palest brown in the cheap white shower tray. The knowledge that he must have been hurt in the attack, as well as the sudden…
Shot in the Dark 2
Quickly hitting a switch, Virgil continued with his original purpose and patched himself through to his missing brother, although any thought of a pleasant conversation with John had been dashed from his mind. Immediately, the Space Monitor’s portrait morphed into the real thing and John glanced up from where he was scanning through various readings, obviously trying to gauge the scenario from what he had been told. Briefly catching Virgil’s…
Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons: Crisis 3
Captain Scarlet walked slowly down the corridor, alert for any clue. Like everyone else on Cloudbase, he was combing every inch, looking for the slightest thing out of place. Doctor Fawn’s Laboratory – nothing. No matter where he looked, he’d come up with the same. Johanssen just had to be around somewhere.He was just about to turn the corner into corridor twelve when his epaulettes flashed blue and his cap…
George Sewell – A Biography
‘Hardened’, ‘craggy’, ‘sinister’, ‘sand-blasted’. Just a few of the descriptions of George Sewell’s features, the actor known to all UFO fans as Colonel Alec Freeman. It was those ‘lived-in’ looks that contrasted so perfectly with Ed Bishop’s angelic and androgynous appearance and helped to make the partnership of Straker/Freeman a pivotal part of UFO. But for all his ‘shifty’ looks, George Sewell, although never attaining first-rank fame, was a prolific…
Dragon*Con by Anthony Taylor
I’m Anthony Taylor, author of The Future Was Fab: The Art of Mike Trim, and I’ll be appearing at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA (USA) September 2-5.
