	Log in to remove this advertisement By which I mean books that are spin offs from other media, Star Wars, Buffy, etc. I think this might be getting a little out of hand now, the following extract is taken from: The Big Apple Takedown (WWE) by Robert Caprio (Author) quote December 2001: Vince McMahon steps out of a snowy night into a diner in upstate New York for a meeting with old friend Phil Thomson, now a highly placed government official. Thomson has a strange proposition: creating a new covert black-ops group using the Superstars of World Wrestling Entertainment. The WWE's talented men and women are perfect. Highly skilled athletes with the ideal cover, they travel all across the country and the globe; no one would find it unusual to find them in a town one day and gone the next. The government would train and support the wrestlers in every way possible except one: no one must know the truth. March 2006: The Superstars have been handed their latest assignment - take down a commercial-grade methyl-amphetamine plant that is bankrolling terrorist activities in Europe. Their mission seems simple and straightforward, until a member of their team is taken prisoner. Now all that they've worked so hard for is in jeopardy, and one of their own might be killed... I actually saw this in a library, but I was too ashamed to satisfy my morbid curiosity as to how bad it was. So, worst and best examples? Has the whole thing gone too far? ------------------- Dovahkiin..Dragonborn!

	Wow. I do own a few of those sorts of books, like the Grange Hill and X-men versions. I haven't read the modern ones, mostly because I grew out of them when I was about eleven. That example does sound really bad though. ------------------- The Krav Vegan I am a Slut - and here's why

	I've read some of the Star Wars ones (when I recognise the writer's name) and they're not bad. But yeah I was somewhat taken aback by this one. Wish I'd had the nerve to pick it up. ------------------- Dovahkiin..Dragonborn!

	To be honest, I prefer when this sort of thing goes in the other direction, since that seems to be the only way to be sure that you're going to get any movies even worth watching out of it. However, yeah, I've read a few franchise books, mostly Star Trek though, and I've found them to be alright. Most are actually pretty good, but I'll admit to none beating the fantasy books that stand off by themselves. -------------------

	Where's it going to stop though, What next, Amazing Adventures in Pizza Hut? Dallas Cowboys save the world? I think the publishers are guilty of pushing an OK idea way, way too far. ------------------- Dovahkiin..Dragonborn!
