Space 1999: The Armageddon Engine
by James Swallow
2024
Moonbase Alpha faces another deep-space peril as the wandering Moon crosses paths with a dangerous mystery. Swallow brings classic Space: 1999 survival tension to a new science-fiction crisis.
Series background & context
Space: 1999 begins with the Moon blasted out of Earth's orbit, carrying Moonbase Alpha and its people into deep space. That premise gives the series a lonely, eerie quality: every encounter could be rescue, danger, or something too strange to understand.
James Swallow's The Armageddon Engine returns to that wandering-moon setup. It is built around classic science-fiction peril, with the Alphans facing a mystery that could become a catastrophe.
This is a good fit if you like older television science fiction, big ideas, and survival stories where home is not a planet anymore. The mood is less sleek than modern space opera, and that is part of the charm.
