'V' The Novel returns to print

October sees the republication of A.C. Crispin's novel of Kenneth Johnson's original mini-series.  The first time it will have been in print for at least a decade although copies can frequently be found in second-hand book outlets and online.

The original paperback adapted both the original mini-series but it seems the new edition will only include the novelisation of the opening four-hour mini-series with a new conclusion, penned by Johnson, which (we assume) will dovetail in some way with his Second Generation novel (which ignores the events of The Final Battle and the weekly series).

UK publication details are unavailable but copies will be available online.  Large branches of Waterstones and Forbidden Planet carried The Second Generation and may also stock this hardback.  If you see it, let us know and we'll let everyone know.
