Statements
- Their initial book, the non-S19 novel
Mary's Monster (by
William Latham),
was under the initial Powys Books name.
Most, if not all, of the books that followed were
under the subsequent Powys Media name.
- Someone (a member of the forum at the Powys website?)
coined the phrase "Powysverse" for the company's "universe"
(the latter being a term common in the science fiction community).
- Technically, all titles below except Chasing the Cyclops
have "Space: 1999" at the start of the title,
but due to space limitations in the Table below, this is omitted.
Individual entries will reference the full title.

* Notes
- An audiobook version of Resurrection, read by
Barry Morse,
is planned for release in May 2010.
- Eternity Unbound includes
Resurrection
and two related stories.
- Year Two is sometimes referred to as The Omnibus,
due to its inclusion in one hardcover book of what was,
in the 1970's,
a set of six softcover novelizations,
plus, for the first time, novelization of
"The Taybor" --
absent from the first set.
- Shepherd Moon: "Spider's Web" (a later audio book)
is in printed form in this anthology. Mateo has recommended
reading or listening to "Spider's Web" before Omega,
which in turn is then followed by Alpha.
- Alpha is the sequel to Omega.
