Powys Media

Series of paperback titles based on both series
May 2002- August 2023

A small publisher based in California, run by Mateo Latosa, publishing officially authorised novels based on Space: 1999 and The Prisoner. Later editions (and re-releases) were published through on-demand service Lulu.com. From 2014 to 2019, author William Latham took over from Mateo. In August 2023, ITV's licensing agreement ended and all titles became out of print.

All were paperback format only, until 2017's 2nd edition of Survival which was also released in hardback. The covers feature photographic montages and, in later editions, art by Ken Scott.

Most of the books have a shared continuity, the "Powysverse", documented in the 2012 title "The Powysverse Compendium" by Patricia T. Sokol (itself updated in Volume 2, 2024). The chronology includes the episodes (included in the Year 1 and Year 2 omnibus books), original novels and short stories. Existing episode novelisations and original books by Tubb and Rankine were adapted to fit the continuity.

Three books are not included in the chronology, each re-published titles: "Earthfall" (2022), "Earthbound" (2022), and the compilation "Apocrypha!" (2023). The covers have slightly different designs (a different Eagle, yellow logo) and spine colours (one "Powysverse" book does have a non-black spine, "Phoenix of Megaron"(2012)).

An audio book version of Resurrection was recorded by Barry Morse in early 2004, and was released 7 May 2010. The audiobook of Spider's Web was released 8 November 2010.

NB: Future dates, titles and cover images to be confirmed.
