Space: 1999 — The PsychomorphBRINGERS OF WONDER
Continuing its journey through space, the Moon Base eneters an unknown area of invisible radiation, transforming the Alpha personnel into super psychics capable of fulfilling their every wish merely by thought. Koenig decides to investigate the roots of this potentially dangerous situation — but with disastrous results.
While he recovers from his mind-shattering experience, the Moon receives some unexpected and welcome visitors. Aboard what seems to be a Superswift from Earth are long lost friends and relations who the Alphans beleived they would never live to see again. But only Koenig sees the truth — the visitation is nothing but a mass hallucination disguising the terrifying invasion of jelly-like aliens — and somehow he must find a way to alert the others before it is too late...

General Notes
- The Psychomorph was the fourth of five novelisations based on Season Two of Space: 1999 which would be released by Star Books, in the process novelising nineteen of the twenty-four episodes. However, Warner Books in the United States put out a sixth title, The Edge of the Infinite, which novelised a further four episodes. Once again this was penned by Michael Butterworth. The only episode not to be novelised in the 1970s was The Taybor, although Butterworth would be called upon to rectify the situation when Powys Media published the limited edition Year Two omnibus in 2006.
- The novelisations contained within The Psychomorph were subsequently re-worked by author Michael Butterworth for the Year Two omnibus, which contained novelisations of all twenty-four episodes from Season Two.
