I didn't realize Supernatural, Sleepy Hollow, Grimm and Fringe were also theirs.
Trek writers original works

That explains why I thought someone else did the Supernatural books. You missed Heroes Reborn in your list. I accidently started off on the UK page and that also had Powers and Primeval on it.
Just to be thorough, here are movies they've done:
Alien/Predator franchise
Planet of the Apes
Independence Day
Interstellar
Iron Man
Man of Steel
Predator
Pacific Rim
Suicide Squad
Terminator Salvation
The Nice Guys
Crimson Peak
Resident Evil Retribution
The Cabin in the Woods
The Great Wall
Warcraft
and video games:
Runescape
Dishonored
Resident Evil
Deus Ex

I wonder if @trampledamage would be cool with having a dedicated off topic thread to discuss non-Trek tie ins here in the Treklit forum.
Did they just reprint the Bible with a picture of Russell Crowe and the words "Now a Major Motion Picture" on the cover?
Nope. They did a genuine novelization--probably since the actual story of Noah is only a few pages long.
I confess to being jealous: imagine being able to say you're the author of Noah!
(There was also a separate young-adult novelization told from the POV of Noah's adopted daughter or something.)

Yes, I'd be okay with that - but it would need to be only one thread and not threads for each series etc. If you want to actually discuss other tie-ins there's the Science Fiction and Fantasy forum.
A thread like this one to discuss publication and what's coming would be fine.
Thanks. I have started a thread for it: http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/ot-non-trek-tie-ins-discussion-thread.284087/
@KRAD just posted that there will be three new novellas in this universe (with the series being rebranded Super City Cops) released between December and February. I have already placed my preorder for those, as I'm very happy to see it return.

Dark Arts is secret history, with Renaissance-style black magic operating behind the scenes of established 20th-century geopolitics.
Book 1, The Midnight Front, is a war epic / origin story set during World War II. It is currently slated for publication in the first quarter of 2018 from Tor Books.
Book 2, The Iron Codex, is an espionage thriller set in 1953, and will deal with the origins of the Cold War, the early years of modern Israel, McCarthyism, and more. Best guess, this is coming in early to mid-2019.
Book 3, The Shadow Commission, will be a conspiracy piece set in 1963 immediately after the Kennedy assassination, and will deal with various aspects of the fallout of that crime. This will, I hope, be out before the end of 2020.
The Dark Arts series as a whole will be about the seeding and development of the modern Fascist movement in the West
This is only vaguely within the purview of this thread, but I just saw on Facebook that Greg Cox is editing a new book by James Alan Gardner, which is SO EXCITING TO ME. So: Greg, any chance you could share any more about that? He hasn't released anything in a really long time.
Thanks for asking! ALL THOSE EXPLOSIONS WERE SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT is an insanely fun and inventive comic-book/Gothic horror mashup pitting the superheroes against monsters, Weird Science against the Supernatural, and one genre against another. It's about four Canadian college students who get super-powers (due a freak scientific accident, naturally) and find themselves caught up in the eternal battle between Light and Dark . . ..
It's a really amazing book that's already getting great quotes from the likes of Robert Sawyer, Spider Robinson, and others. And I've also been very gratified to discover that, like you, lots of readers have been waiting impatiently for a new book by Gardner.
And, yes, we're already talking sequels . . . .
Can't resisting sharing the Sawyer quote:
“James Alan Gardner is a genius. He always knocks my socks off with his inventive use of language, wild imagination, and engaging storytelling, and this novel is his best yet. You’ll love it—it’s an absolute joy, managing to be funny, moving, and exciting all at once.”
--Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Quantum Night
