Petition to get Jupiter 2 Technical guide Published
My name is Christopher Krieg, I am a longtime fan of Irwin Allen’s classic Lost in Space Sci-fi adventure show.
As a young child, when I first saw Lost in Space I was enthralled by the tv series. I didn’t understand much at the time since I was very young child, I just instinctively knew it was mostly about a family of space explorers marooned on an alien planet with scary monsters, the fiendish Dr Zachary Smith and protected by their friendly Environmental Control Robot. I always found the equipment used on the tv series very believable and realistic. So much so I always kept expecting that our real-life space program would one day launch a real life Jupiter 2.
My friend Geoff Hardy came up with logical blueprints of the Jupiter 2 and while In college, I wanted to see them published in a book, but a book featuring blueprints wouldn’t be enough. So I decided to include images of every piece of equipment the Robinsons used on the series. Our first book was published in 2011 through Jack Hagerty’s ARA Press company which was a moderate success. I don’t believe he has any outstanding copies of our first book for sale anymore.
So I’ve been working on a sequel of sorts of the book, a more expanded new and improved edition that feature blueprints and 3d renderings of the Chariot, and F-12 Fuel barge/lightship seen in episodes “Wild Adventure,” and “The Haunted Lighthouse.”.
So now after several years of being strung along by Jack Hagerty, he says he’s not able due to personal reasons the new and improved edition of our book. Jack Hagerty made a deal with Monsters in Motion for the release our book and orders on that website are sold out.
I have poured five years of very intensive work into this book. Ive mainly worked the layout, but Ive also participated in the 3d modeling that is featured in our updated book as Phil Hamilton, Geoff Hardy, and Ted Preddey have also done.
Please don’t let all our hard work fall by the wayside.
There is still quite a big demand for our product.
All I ask is the License agreement between Synthesis Entertainment and ARA Press be transferred to me so I can get our book published through Amazon press to furfil those orders on Monsters in Motion.
I would simply like to have the same deal that you made with Ron Gross for his books through Amazon publishing.
This book is about a Labor of Love for me, not about making money.
