He's an acclaimed and successful science fiction author in his own right, but we'll always love him for his work in ghost writing/adapting George Lucas's original STAR WARS into book form in 1976, plus his never made "alternate" sequel in the hugely entertaining, 1978 released continuance that was Splinter of the Mind's Eye. Now, Alan Dean Foster is back to adapt THE FORCE AWAKENS, and I think that this is one plum, and surely challenging, assignment which he'll give to the world with the kind of page-turning excitement and extra character depth for readers that will resonate just as strongly as the film unspooling into movie theatres this Christmas and beyond.
The adaptation is now available in electronic format here: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Star Wars the Force Awakens) eBook: Alan Dean Foster: Amazon.co.uk: Books
Then becomes available in novel form in the UK from CENTURY from 1st January, 2016: Star Wars: The Force Awakens: Amazon.co.uk: Alan Dean Foster: 9781780894768: Books
