Yes, I've read yet another Media Tie In novel, this time based on the SyFy (and if I recall, when this show started it was still Sci Fi) show called "Eureka". The book, just like the show, takes place in the town of Eureka, Oregon. A town where there are a ton of very, very smart people who get into lots of interesting trouble because of their experiments. And it's up to Sheriff Jack Carter, who's not a smart in a brainy way as the rest of the town, to save the town, a lot.

One of the ways I judge Media Tie Ins are how close the characters get to the ones on the TV show. And this author did that alright, though not amazingly. He got Sheriff Carter almost perfectly, but some of the other characters like Allison Blake and Zane Donovan were slightly off, though not horribly so, just a little bit.

IT was also a little hard to get into because even though I liked how stories from all the seasons of the series were used, since I'd already seen those stories the beginning was a bit repetitive.

Also, a bit annoyed, 'cause I'm not sure that the author knows that MIT and Harvard are literally in the same city, so if two people were going to go to those two different schools they are more than close enough to see each other more than just on the weekends.

But, on the whole, it was a very good Media Tie In, and it was a pretty good book on its own merits as well. ( )

This book is based on the TV Series, Eureka. Set in a small Oregon town whose citizens are all descended from top scientists, and are all super-geniuses. And every day seems to encounter some disaster that threatens the world, or at least our comfort levels.

In this story, flowers, then people. and finally buildings start teleporting about. Sheriff Carter and Dr. Blake need to keep it quiet and avoid any military involvement. When a building teleports with its occupants, how do you keep them in the dark? They, and the rest of the crew of Eureka have to solve this problem quickly, and return the buildings to their proper locations before anyone becomes aware.

This isn't hard science fiction, and has more than a few holes. But it is a fun and fast read, and it is true to the series. If you enjoy the series, this book fits in with the same color and pace. ( )
