“Heroes” — The Novel

Written by: Michael Hickerson (SoSF Staff Journalist)

Can’t get enough “Heroes?” Then you might want to head out to your local bookstore or library later this year.

DelRay has announced the first “Heroes” tie-in novel called “Heroes: Saving Charlie.” Written by Aury Wellington, this franchise-first novel will hit bookshelves on December 26, 2007.

The story will take place during the first-season of the hit show and focus on the relationship between Hiro and the waitress, Charlie Andrews, played by actress Jayma Mays. Fans may recall that Hiro jumped back in time to try and save Charlie from Sylar, spending six months stuck in the past. This novel will recount their days together in greater depth than was seen on-screen.

“One of the more memorable relationships in Season One was Hiro’s first love, the waitress Charlie. We were as smitten as Hiro by that story and seized the chance to tell the full adventure of Hiro’s six months in the past. Aury Wallington was hand picked by the writers of the show for her brilliant voice for these characters. The novel is a welcome addition to the Heroes family,” said Tim Kring, creator-executive producer of the series to SF Scope.

The DelRay novel will be published in hardcover.
