Novel adventures for Joss Whedon's space western.

Three new books based upon the adventures of Mal Reynolds and his motley crew have been announced by publishers Simon and Schuster.

The range will launch next autumn with an adaptation of Joss Whedon's screenplay for big screen adventure Serenity.

Although the publishers considered asking Joss to write the novel himself, the job eventually fell to Keith R.A. DeCandido, who has previously written several Buffy and Angel tie-ins.

The Serenity adaptation will be followed by two original Firefly novels in 2006.

Right now, the only thing known for sure is that there will be two original novels following my novelization. Nothing else is set yet -- who'll be writing them, what they'll be about, when they'll take place, all that still is to be determined.

I would love to write them, but I also know there are plenty of other really good writers out there who'd like a shot (and who have burned me in effigy for getting the novelization gig ).

So right now, what's in that press release is pretty much it. (Though I've never actually written any Angel tie-ins.........)

Just a question on the content of these books though, would Joss or anyone from the Firefly writing team be involved in the process of writing these books to ensure that they're up to the quality and standards set by the show?

I can tell you that the earliest you're likely to see the original books will be 2006 -- either way, it won't be until after the movie is released, because the idea is to take advantage of the full audience from the movie, and capitalize on it.
