Never knew there were novels, badly written or otherwise, but if there was a nonfiction book, I would buy it and it would be my new favorite thing.

You never knew there was novels printed Joy? They were published back when the series was new & crop up on Ebay quite often, think there was 8 novels in total?

Are they all novelized versions of actual episodes, or are there novels that are not an actual episode?

No, but I'm not surprised books were made. I remember my grandparents having a novel that was based on another popular tv show, of which I no longer remember the title. Just for curiosity, I think I will look these books up.

That A-team comic book is quite a regular thing I've seen on Ebay as for the novels yes they are loosely based on the episodes..I had one yellow cover novel with Hannibal & BA on the front called 'Ten percent of Trouble' which was based on the season 2 episode 'Steel' if i remember correctly

Ok, I got the book Small and Deadly Wars based on A Small and Deadly War and Black Day at Black Rock. I shall see how it is. The first thing I did was read the back cover.... What? ? Mad Dog Murdock? ? Ok,opened book to first page, where he is back to Howling Mad Murdock. Ok, that's better. Much better. Amy is listed as a member of the team. While I liked Amy better than Tawnia, I never considered either an actual member.

Mad Dog Murdock? Maybe that is how his nickname is translated in some other language, I mean where the translation literally means that? And I also do not like to consider either Amy or Tawnia as team members, although I admit that Hannibal has introduced Amy as a team member I believe twice (in BEAST and also in TAXICAB WARS).

Maybe so. Did not think of a possible translation. Yes, I remember Hannibal saying Amy was a team member a couple of times...

So I'm actually reading the book I got...about 4 chapters in. I'm not really remembering much of the episode A Small And Deadly War...need to rewatch it. It's got much more bad language than the show itself...though it's mostly the same two words. Still, I always appreciated that the show kept the language to a minimum. I'll reserve judgment until I finish it

I did not grow up with a lot of "swear words" and they make me quite uncomfortable, so I also am glad that TAT does not have that too much in it. That's probably another reason why some fanfiction makes me uncomfortable - if they put in that kind of language which is so different from the actual show.
