he co-wrote the screen play and both were based on a short story so yes was more than that random thoughts Send a noteboard - 23/02/2013 11:19:31 PM

He didn't adapt a screen play to a book he adapted a stroy he was writing to a screen play. It was clever marketing but it wasn't a Star Wars novel.

So you're looking for series that are not yet on your list, yes? I'm a little confused. Legolas - 16/02/2013 09:05:53 PM 1549 Views
I am but figured a list would save time and multi-task Isaac - 16/02/2013 09:58:18 PM 1450 Views
Fair point, could be useful to point to whenever people ask the same question of what to read next. Legolas - 16/02/2013 11:05:06 PM 1487 Views

Was that a snarky way of saying you don't like Adams or something? Tom - 18/02/2013 06:30:49 PM 1427 Views
I think it was a not so snarky way of saying Hitchhiker's Guide started as a radio show. *NM* Legolas - 18/02/2013 06:41:44 PM 593 Views
Not a TV series, movie series or video game...and not really even based on a radio show. Tom - 19/02/2013 06:56:15 PM 1179 Views
Well, it was a trilogy in 5 (6?) parts Larry - 18/02/2013 07:03:10 PM 1391 Views

The movie and the book were written at the same time *NM* random thoughts - 19/02/2013 05:49:44 PM 598 Views
Clarke wrote both, so is the book really anything more than a novelization of the screenplay? *NM* heartbreak - 19/02/2013 06:18:31 PM 611 Views
