Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is an action-adventure video game developed by Ninja Theory and published by Namco Bandai Games. Announced in 2009 as "Enslaved", it was released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in October 2010. As a loose adaptation of the novel "Journey to the West", the game is set 150 years in a future post-apocalyptic world following a global war. Only remnants of humanity survive, along with the still active war machines left over from the conflict. The game's story follows Monkey who is forced to escort Trip home safely after they survive a ship crash. Players play as Monkey, who must combat enemies using his staff from a third-person perspective, engage in different platforming challenges and solve puzzles.
Mission to Horatius
The first original "Star Trek" novel for adults, "Spock Must Die!", was not published until February 1970. While Whitman did not publish any other "Star Trek" novels, it did publish a range of coloring books based on the series. "Mission to Horatius" was re-published by Pocket Books in February 1999 to celebrate the publisher's 20th anniversary of holding the official "Star Trek" license. Editor John J. Ordover stated, when interviewed for Jeff Ayers' "Voyages of Imagination", that it was reprinted for fun, and that when pitched he had explained that Paramount Studios held the rights to the book as Whitman had gone out of business. He added "It was selling for $50 at conventions. So why not do a reissue? It was the first "Star Trek" novel ever done and the first one I read." In order to re-publish the work, Pocket Books bought a second-hand copy from science fiction author Dayton Ward.
