Yeah I enjoy the fact the tie-in writers are sort of left to their own devices and come up with some of the most bizarre plot lines.
I am shocked Brian would do that! What a development.

Thanks for the tip. I collect a lot of rare movie and TV spin off books and bookfinder has really helped complete some collections without paying insane prices.
The only Predator novel I need to find now is Simon Hawke's Predator 2 novelisation.
P.S. Thanks for the welcome. Have been a long time lurker on the forum! Love both franchises alot and in the last few years have really been drawn to the spin off novels. Slowly working my way through them all.

I recently got a copy of Turnabout and South China Sea very very cheaply. I used a search engine called bookfinder.com. It searches eBay (buy it now only), Amazon, Alibris, AbeBooks and more.
Might have been luck but I got Turnabout for £4.50 and South China Sea for £8. The 2nd hand book market is built on algorithms and prices fluctuate day to day. If one person sells a copy for a low price then most other sellers have a system that will automatically bring their prices down too.
Not saying you'll get lucky too. It required a fair bit of patience - checking bookfinder every other day. But it's worth doing.
You are so right Jack about the "price reduction option" to vendors on Amazon. ABEbooks,bookfinder& Book Depository are owned by Amazon. Another independent book site to check is Biblio.com
I personally prefer AddAll.com over bookfinder as an out of print search/comparison site. It's my go to search for books.
P.S.
Welcome to the site
