In 2002 they republished the original Space 1999 novel Earthfall by E.C.Tubb. The next year they published Earthbound by E C Tubb, with new adaptions of the three episodes. One is based on the actual episode, Earthbound (using the catacombs transcript); the other two were based on early scripts, The Exiles and Face Of Eden.
