look at what just popped up in my Amazon.com recommendations:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1416511938/ref=pd_ys_ir_
b_8/104-5031406-6583929?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance

it appears as though some novels based on the movie might be released some time next year, à la Buffy and Angel.

if this listing is acurate, and it is what I think it is, the first one, called "Mirror Image" will be released July 1st next year. it is written by Keith R. A. DeCandido, same guy who did the Serenity novelisation.

I'm not sure if I like this. the books of this type that I have read suck potatoes. most of the time they're like bad fanfiction. maybe Keith will do a good job, I don't know, but it worries me.

EDIT:

PS, sorry, I'd take this post out of the news items, but I don't even know how it got there in the first place...

The Man They Call Soul...

Trust me, Keith will more than do it justice. I've read a snippet of the Serenity novel, and it rocks. It'll be good, trust me.

Uh... I can't tell if you're kidding or not... I'd recommend clicking on the link - you won't be worried once you see what it is...

Of course, if you're being sarcastic then I personally think it's a great title! Seriously, you gotta admit that the group probably has a rep for being "bad guys"...

Can we take this out of the new item area?

I think this should effectively squash this rumor.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

I responded to Krad's post linking him to Amazon.com's listing so that he can do something about this as it seems he is unaware of this. Hopefully he can get this straighten out.

It is very odd... but if Keith himself says it's not real, I'm gonna have to go ahead and believe him. I have no doubt spinoff books will come, and that a number of them will be written by him... but this one is some kind of glitch in Amazon's database. I'd let it go. Good catch though. (c:

Even though it will never exist, I added it to my Amazon wishlist to indicate interest.

Trust me, Keith (or KRAD as he's known to fans) is an amzingly good writer. I've read a few of his The Next Generation novels, which are of cours eother franchise novels, and they are amazing; far above the average that Trek novels normally are.

If anyone can do a good job on this, then its KRAD.

There's supposed to be at least two more books. KRAD's either not writing them, or he's just covering for now.

I'd love to see it. But, failing that, I'd encourage folks to look up my "fan novel" Kaylee's Lament.

Y'see, I'm a Next Generation writer myself, and since I don't have an agent, and I had this idea, I figured, why not have a little fun . . .

Well, I happen to know exactly why there is a book scheduled out next July Called "Mirror Image" (Serenity). If you read on be warned that this contacts a sort of spoiler:

Select to view spoiler:

This is the novelization of the 2nd movie that has already been filmed, and is going to be released next summer. The studio and everyone involved is trying to keept this under raps until they can release the suprise on the fans.

I for one can't wait!
