The Lost Planet is a 1953 juvenile science fiction novelisation by Angus MacVicar, published by Burke, London. It is the first of the popular novel series The Lost Planet, which had originally been written for radio (1952 Childrens Hour, BBC Home Service) [1] and was later adapted for television [2]
There are six novels in the main series: The Lost Planet (1953), Return to the Lost Planet (1954), Secret of the Lost Planet (1955), Red Fire on the Lost Planet (1959), Peril on the Lost Planet (1960) and Space Agent from the Lost Planet. Two further books continue the adventures of the Space Agent: Space Agent and the Isles of Fire (1962), and Space Agent and the Ancient Peril (1964). It was the first science fiction series ever translated to Hebrew and had considerable impact on the development of this genre in Israel.[3]
