Just as There Were Three Graphic Versions of the Pilot Episode "Breakaway"...
...there were three prose versions of tthat episode, including two that weren't seen in America!
For example, this short story appeared in the first British Space: 1999 Annual, a hardcover which featured prose and comic stories as well as background info and games!
There was also a prose adaptation in the first Space: 1999 novelization by EC Tubb, published in both America and England, incorporating the first four episodes.
Tubb also wrote Space: 1999 "Earthfall" a double-length novel re-adapting "Breakaway", but ignoring everything after that, creating a new narrative spanning decades and returning the second generation of Alphans, along with elderly survivors of Breakaway, to a devastated Earth!

It was, until recently, available only in England!
Next Week: Our Space: 1999 Retrospective Concludes with the Actual "Breakway" Comic Book from Power Records!
