On the Anarchy Online Novel [Oct 17, 2001, 09:31 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
PC.IGN.com's Anarchy Online Interview
chats with Ragnar Tørnquist of Funcom to discuss Prophet Without Honor,
his upcoming novel that complements the Anarchy Online storyline. Topics include
the inspiration for the story, his background, his influences, how many more
books will be in the series, the possibilities of a novel to accompany Midgard,
whether it stands alone, and more.
And, for that matter, the track record of licensed novels vs. original sci-fi isn't so hot. Quality-wise, people working with a license have a lot more leeway than someone trying to get something published on its own merits. I don't think I've ever read one Star Wars novel that was actually inherently worth reading - there might be some minutia about the galaxy's background, or something that's at least partially interesting in terms of watching the film again - but if any of them had to sink or swim on their own, without the Star Wars license to sell it, I don't think a single one of them would be successful.
But this is way off-topic. When did I start ranting about sci-fi again?
