These signature phrases died off with the subsequent live-action shows of UFO and Space: 1999. While the date is correct for Captain Scarlet – the book placing the "war" between the Mysterons and humans in 2068 – it is incorrect for UFO, which took place in the 1980s. During the Myloki attack, it is stated that Lunar Base has been replaced by a crater, "as if that part of the moon has drifted off into space" – presumably a reference to Space: 1999. Reception Richard McGinlay of sci-fi-online.com gives The Indestructible Man a mixed review, calling it "an intriguing book, but sadly not tremendously riveting. The narrative reads like a sequence of events that are not strung together very tightly by the slender plot. Still, it should help you to destroy a few long winter evenings, especially if you're an Anderson fan."
