I'm working my way through all the Avengers novelisations still. I actually liked The Floating Game - I felt it had quite a decent Avengers feel despite the author saying he'd not watched the show. Too many Targets actually annoyed me a little bit with silly, factual mistakes. For instance, Anthropology has NOTHING to do with the study of apes! Deadline was well written but was more like a Gale era episode than a Peel one.

Hi Friends,

I'm planning my first trip to the UK this July! I'll be around London for about 5 days, then Cambridge, then over to Portmeirion. Would love recommendations about places to go hunting for vintage Avengers, Danger Man, Saint, 007, etc books. Where should I look? I'll also put the word out about seeing Avengers locations. I missed the 50th, but at least I'll get there for MY 50th :)

Thanks!

the best way to see Avengerland is to come a week earlier and attend Deadmans treasure hunt the last week of June.

I've sent you an email with contact details for Chris Bentley, this includes when this year's Dead Man's Treasure hunt event will take place and where.

Hope to see you there.

I can see why they rejected it; the ugly pic of Emma and poorly executed 'Avengers' logo.

Still of historical interest nonetheless.
I have one of these. It was indeed a rejected annual cover, and the artist may a limited number of reproductions. Steed's not too bad. Emma looks more like Cathy--actually, I've sort of started pretending it's supposed to be Cathy when I look at it. :lol:
yeah. sorta does look like mrs. gale..maybe after her hangover..LOL..all in all, still an interesting cover

Rodney Marshall has a series of books that has reviews of each Emma Peel and Tara King episode. In December a themed book comes out which will include elements of the music.

I don't a book that is focused on the music, but here is a list with all (at least I hope so) available books about the Avengers
Book list.
It's a pdf file.
