I just stumbled onto two early tie-in novels at a yard sale:
"Walt Disney's ANNETTE and the Mystery at Smuggler's Cove."
"JANET LENNON at Camp Calamity"--an "Authorized TV Adventure" featuring the "Singing Star from the Lawrence Welk TV Show."
Who knew there were Lawrence Welk Show (!) tie-in novels? And an Annette Funicello mystery? Fascinating!
Finished "Synthesis" yesterday. Going to start on "Seize the Fire" next.
^Speaking of jumping into new universes, I recently read Alastair Reynolds's Revelation Space, and liked it enough to track down the other two books in that trilogy, Redemption Ark (which I'm currently reading) and Absolution Gap. ...
Just a word of warning, as a trilogy, those three books are pretty loose. In particular, the third book isn't the epic finale you're expecting, more of a side story that winds its way into the narrative from the previous two, something which a lot of people find disappointing.
What did you think of the Fringe book? I'm a big fan of the TV series, and the books have really intrigued me, especially the Walter/Bell one.
Oh, I know it's a prequel, it's actually what interests me most about it.What did you think of the Fringe book? I'm a big fan of the TV series, and the books have really intrigued me, especially the Walter/Bell one.
I found it to pretty good. The story was interesting and gripping. It's perhaps the earliest view of the characters we've seen, and I thought they where spot on. There are few nods to things from the series but not a lot. I did feel that the ending was wrapped up a little quickly, but I seem to think that about a lot of novels. Bottom line, if you're a fan of the series you should enjoy it. Just remember that it's a prequel about Walter, Bell, & Nina, so don't expect to see any Peter or Olivia.
I'm reading DS9 #3 Bloodletter. I'm about 3/4 through and the story is okay, nothing special, but it suffers from the same problems a lot of the novels written during a first season of Trek. Character's are a bit off. And they keep referring to Bajorans as humans.
"Horen Rygis was as human as she [Kira]"
This happens a couple times and I just shake my head every time I read it. Overall though if I found another Trek book by K.W. Jeter I would read it.
