Re"V"lections: Ann C. Crispin on Novelizing "V"

Back at the height of the success of the original "V", author Ann C. Crispin took on the herculean task of novelizing the two miniseries and giving it a cohesive voice, despite the fact that the approach taken by the filmmakers in each instance was fairly different from the other. This interview with Crispin was conducted by Edward Gross back in the late 1980s.

VISITORS AMONG US: How did you get involved in the "V" project?


ANN C. CRISPIN:I happened to have a book on The New York Times bestseller list (the Star Trek novel Yesterday's Son) and they were looking for someone to write "V", and I was the only author Pinnacle had at the moment who did that kind fo thing. They looked at my Star Trek novel and said, "Oh, she knows how to write stories from a TV show." So that's how it happened with "V". Pinnacle bid for the novelization and then kind of realized, "Hey, this is a science fiction novel and we don't have any science fiction writers."

Grif, if you haven't seen it already, "The Final Battle" loses a lot of the depth of the first miniseries, but it's still pretty entertaining in its own right. It just veers a bit more into comic book territory.
