Thanks! I confess: I wanted to write a WH13 book even before Pocket Books called and offered me the job. A shame we only did the one book. For what's worth, though, I delivered the (hopefully) final revisions to the next LIBRARIANS book earlier this week.
Waiting for Orville books. They’ll be a lot of fun. Did read the Flash/Arrow book which was fine but nothing special.
Really? I’m only aware of the crossover ones. The Supernatural ones look interesting but I get enough of that in the tv show at the moment. Alien: Rage War is a good tie in book, if you want to see a good ending to that franchise.
The Arrowverse books out so far are: Arrow: Vengeance by Oscar Balderama & Lauren Certo - which deals with Slade Wilson between his time on Lian Yu, and his showing up in Starlin City in Season 2, and the backstories of Brother Blood and Isabel Rochev. The Flash: The Haunting of Barry Allen by Clay Griffith & Susan Griffith - First half of a crossover concluded in the second Arrow novel. Arrow: A Generaction of Vipers by Clay Griffith & Susan Griffith - Second half of the crossover. Coming later this year: Arrow: Fatal Legacies by James R. Tuck based on an original story by Arrow Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim - Set between the Seasons 5 & 6.
Probably a lot of Felicity in that last book. Vengeance sounds like it may of already been retconned as they’ve covered that period recently on Arrow.
I actually just stumbled across that one on the Titan website. I was coming to edit my post, but I'll just leave it since you beat me to it.
Titan has picked up another (rather surprising) Tie-in line: First three novels will be: http://ew.com/books/2018/02/08/firefly-book-series/
Damn, I was hoping KRAD might be doing one, since he wrote the movie novelization and I believe had an original Firefly novel in works at one point that ended up getting canceled. Still I love Firefly, so I'll be checking these out.
Has anyone read any Buffy and Angel novels? They tend to get overshadowed by the comics, and I was wondering if any of them were worth tracking down. I know @KRAD wrote one that came out in 2006. And @Kirsten Beyer wrote another that came out in 2008.
@KRAD wrote two, Blackout in 2006 and The Deathless in 2007. Here are links to my pretty spoiler-free reviews: http://unreality-sf.net/2008/05/21/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-blackout-review/ http://unreality-sf.net/2009/03/11/buffy-the-vampire-slayer-the-deathless-review/
So, are these set during the TV show or after? I'm guessing they're definitely not set before the series, as River is mentioned. I would guess they'd go with having them set during the series, a chance to use the whole cast. IIRC, not "cancelled" so much as rejected because there was no interest in doing prose novels at the time
Something that just occurred to me, these books are actually using "Firefly" as their title? That's interesting, as practically everything associated with the franchise has used Serenity for its title, right?
The only one I'm directly familiar with at all is Holder, but the bibliographies for the others don't seem to offer any precedents that are close to Firefly in tone. Having said that, I'm (pleasantly) surprised and intrigued, especially by the premise of Generations (as one can easily imagine, given my online activities ). This also gives some possible extra evidence to those inclined to believe that Titan Books is more aggressively pursuing tie-in licences now...
Would there be a difference between the Firefly and Serenity names when it comes to licenses and thing like that? Tim Lebbon has written some Aliens novels and a Star Wars novel, so he does at least have some sci-fi tie-in experience.
