Nice to see another volume to the TFP GN's. I'll be surprised if the sixth one's cover doesn't have either Ratchet or Bulkhead on it. Though it wouldn't surprise me if they started using some of the con's for the covers.

That's nice to hear. I've always enjoyed his work. Especially his old Star Trek novels.

I think you posted in the wrong thread, and didn't spoiler that either.

I must be the only person here who thinks the Peter David of 2011 is utter **** compared to the Peter David of twenty years ago.
Did none of you read the Next Generation novel "Before Dishonour"? It almost derailed the TNG relaunch with its suckiness.
He's too self-reverenetial, too nudge-nudge-wink-wink at his audience and it affects the quality of his output.

We can only wish – certainly can't be any worse – and likely a damn sight better – than the garbage IDW has been spewing out of late – especially in the movie-verse line.

Color me as one of the Peter's fans. Loved his work in the Star Trek & B5 universes.
As early poster said, he can't do worse than ADF, and likely better. I can't recall the last item ADF wrote I enjoyed & only a couple of novelizations owned, wheras I have several PD books on my shelf & note when he's working a new title.

Really? Other than "Mortal Kombat", I've yet to be disappointed by a novelization of a film. I've read them since I was a kid. I used to do it for fun, now I do it to A) make sense of the crappy stories thrown out today, and B) Follow the dialog since I'm deaf in one ear now.
Errr… it's a Bay film. Peter David can only improve it exponentially.
Both. See above.
It'll be like his Spider-Man 3 novel. In the original ending (tested bad with viewers), the Venom suit "ate" Eddie before being exploded. Same ending in the SM3 novel. I know this from reading both the novel and a early shooting script of SM3. If scenes get changed in the film (99% of the original endings on paper never make it to the big screen on ANY film), the original version of the scene will appear in the novel, since it'll be based on a first shooting draft, not the latest rewrites, since they need to write it, proof it, edit it, print it, and circulate it two months before the film is released.
Agreed. Got the ebook version, and everything about it SCREAMED amateur fanfic… and not in a good way.

That is awesome

Peter…I'd give my eye-teeth to have you "adapt" TF like you did Buffy and Holy Grail!!!
Jericho
Well, anything is better than ADF I suppose. I could barely make it through 'Ghosts of Yesterday'
SilverOptimus
Two weeks is like 2 years for Peter David. Heard he does wonderful stuff within a week or so.
Jericho
Two weeks? That doesn't sound promising at all.

Best Novelization conversion from script and movie while filming was still ongoing. Was the novel " The Abyss".

I saw that few days ago. Investigated. Turnedout to be a fake. Made from the Wikipedia article. If I wanted to read that… I'd go to the Wikipedia article.
It could also mean a placeholder. But who would want to put a placeholder with editor names?
Will keep an eye on the thing. But all evidence point towards a Fake Book.
