General Notes
- The Edge of the Infinite was the sixth and final English language novelisation based on Season Two of Space: 1999 to be released in the 1970s, and was the only one not to be released in the UK.
- The Immunity Syndrome was written before the decision was taken to revamp Space: 1999 for its second season. A novelisation of the original version of the script was included in the Earthbound novelisation, which was published in 2003 by Fanderson, the Gerry Anderson fan club.
- Journey to Where was also novelised in Italy by Gianni Padoan for Gli Alieni Dai Mille Volti. The Dorcons appeared in Rapimento Nello Spazio
- The novelisations contained within The Edge of the Infinite were subsequently re-worked by author Michael Butterworth for the limited edition Year Two omnibus, published by Powys Media in 2006, which contained novelisations of all twenty-four episodes from Season Two.
