General Notes
- The Time Fighters was the fifth 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 Time Fighters were subsequently re-worked by author Michael Butterworth for the Year Two omnibus, which contained novelisations of all twenty-four episodes from Season Two.
