I got mail from someone who had read a book version of .... Nazi Lizards from Dry Space. It included the latest final battle episodes, and he had already read it before the show, I guess. Jues what we needed, but he indicated that it was better than the TV version. mike k

I also read the "V" book. The tv version was pretty faithful to it for the first two episodes, then they butchered it for the last one. That stupid ending that everyone has been complaining about was done totally differently in the book (Elizabeth changed the bomb timing delay in the ship's computer to an infinite loop. She used the computers a lot in the book so, that made some sense.) I thought the book was pretty decent considering that it had to go off of a ready made plot. As far as the last episode was concerned, I think that was too sensationalistic. /Dave Edick/

I think (am not absolutely sure) that I read an interview
with A.C. Crispin (author of the book 'V') that stated that
the book 'V' was written from the screenplay of the Mini-Series.
(somebody correct me if I am wrong), not vice-versa.
