Having just finished reading the book of "The Myth Makers" by Donald Cotton (who wrote the original episode and also the episode and recently-published book of "The Gunfighters"), I must praise it as THE best episode novelization. The book probably most resembles the episode "Marco Polo" (the book of which I have not read) in that it involves a narrator telling the details of what happened. However, for "The Myth Makers," the narrator is none other than the poet Homer himself! The book is, to an extent, a takeoff on The Iliad, and the narration is extremely funny. . ------- |-----| A.
