Was that series off of one of Harlan Ellisons books? I seem to remember a book about an ark of globes. The author left the end of the book open and I was never able to find the rest of the books. Does anybody out there know if they exist? If so please respond with the titles and where I can find them. Thanks, Bob Guernsey

From: Jim Hester <hester@ICSE.UCI.EDU> The novel was "Phoenic Without Ashes" by Edward Bryant and Harlan Ellison. It was a novelization of the screenplay, which Ellison also had a hand in creating. He was so disgusted with the way the TV series came out that I would be amazed if he ever wrote any sequils, or even novelized episodes other than the pilot. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news; I would have been interested in seeing how Ellison would have continued it also.
