I started reading Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal: The Novelization by A.C.H. Smith yesterday. I'm a huuuuuuge fan of the movie, so when I saw that they republished the novelization I had to read it.
I don't know, I have the e-book. I do know that both the hardcover and the e-book have a whole bunch of sketches from Brian Froud spread throughout it, along with a little "making of" thing from one of the Henson archivists, and a all of the notes that Jim Henson sent to A.C.H. Smith after one of his drafts.I still have my 35-year-old copy of the original edition, though it's kind of water-damaged. Does the reprint have the photo insert in the middle?

I'm amazed at just how different it's been from the movie in just the first chapter, a lot of the same stuff is happening overall, but most of the details are different.
Just finished S.C.E. Foundations Book 1 and moving on with some pre-VAN chronological reading. I have seen some lists that show Where Time Stands Still and Distant Early Warning as pre-Harbinger reads, but reading the synopsis of Where Time makes it sound like it is later into the TAS "Time Trap" storyline (2269ish), while Distant Early Warning is 2265, right?
I guess my question is this: where do I go next? Distant Early Warning and then right into Harbinger? or does Where Time offer more USS Lovell insight?
That's right, yeah; Where Time Stands Still isn't pre-VAN at all.
The former; Where Time Stands Still is a good story, but it's more about the inhabitants of the Delta Triangle than it is digging into the crew of the Lovell. And like you found out, it comes much later than the start of Vanguard anyway.
