Jan. 5th, 2008 07:35 pmSo I've been reading that new Heroes novel, Saving Charlie, and it's not bad. Not exactly my usual fare, but then neither is Heroes in many respects.
On my own personal canonicity scale, it rates at about a level 4 - reasonable, given the characters and certain of the situations, but contradicted (partly, anyway) by Level-1 canon (the show itself).
(For comparison, the Star Trek book Dark Mirror by Diane Duane is also level 4. As it was published before any of the Deep Space 9 Mirror Universe episodes were aired, it was at the time a reasonable extrapolation of what might have happened after "Mirror, Mirror".
It is also, I think, the only DD Star Trek book I've read all the way through. I adore her Young Wizards and related books, but for some reason I don't enjoy her forays into Trek.)
And yes, I do sit down and figure out these level systems a lot. This is the first one to go public in any degree, though.
