Lovely book just arrived from ebay. Good old fashioned escapism. Perhaps more boys would take up reading if something similar was being published today.

Coming soon - with a storyline running parallel to Countdown To Zero - a one-off mini-episode of the spy-fi thriller 'Agent 21'. Or is that 'Danger Man'? ;)

Cybermen! My favourite baddies. Shame my copy of this 'bookazine' skips pages 1-9 and starts on 10. I guess they must have been DELETED!

New episode of my Fireball XL5/Thunderbirds fan series just released, link below.
Thanks to everyone who's been here from the start & those who like and share.
