It had photos of the TV cast on the cover. IIRC, Leinster wrote two Time Tunnel adaptations and three Land of the Giants. I remember a series of Kung Fu paperbacks credited to Howard Lee in the 1970's.

In the case of the Ellison book, PHOENIX WITHOUT ASHES, it was a novelisation but it was undertaken to correct the rewrite of Ellison's original script, which led him to use his 'Corwainer Bird' credit on screen. The prose version by Bryant is far closer to Ellison's original.Sergio (Tipping My Fedora)http://bloodymurder.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-9836751976052865602012-11-09T06:42:56.167-08:002012-11-09T06:42:56.167-08:00Oho!

I spotted other such "reversed tie-ins," like ESG's Perry Mason books and Max Brand's Dr. Kildare, but didn't know Longstreet was a similar case. <br /><br />This book does have some stuff about British-only editions, but missed those other Ballards.Evan Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620731784654779358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-81352295150438372852012-11-09T06:32:48.588-08:002012-11-09T06:32:48.588-08:00I have most of the titles mentioned(not this book ...I have most of the titles mentioned(not this book though). One disagreement with the author though. Baynard Kendrick wrote a series of novels starting in 1937 about a blind P.I. and his two German Shepherds, It was acknowledged as the inspiration for Longstreet, an insurance investigator. Longstreet was a favorite of mine, though it only lasted one season.<br /><br />W t Ballard, as Brian Fox, went on to write four more Alias Smith and Jones novels for the English market.Randy Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627907086811387527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-37470232731282563652012-11-09T06:24:51.414-08:002012-11-09T06:24:51.414-08:00Oh wow, now that is a cool little item.
