General Notes
- Year Two was produced as a limited edition, with only 100 copies of each of the two print runs in existence. As befits such a specialist item, copies of the first edition were individually numbered and signed. Both editions were bound in a black vinyl cover with a white dust jacket.
The episode novelisations within have been re-ordered so that they are reproduced in the order in which the stories take place, with original author Michael Butterworth also re-working his original manuscripts to more accurately reflect what was seen on screen, as well as providing new linking material for the book. - This is the first time that a novelisation of The Taybor has ever seen print, as it was the only one of the twenty-four Season Two episodes of Space: 1999 not to be novelised by Michael Butterworth in the 1970s.
