In January, Out of Order Book Club will be back with a new (mini) season. I'll be dipping my toe into the water of TV tie-in novels. I hope to answer some burning questions, at least for me, about:

• What makes a good TV tie-in novel?
• Do you need to know anything about the series in order to understand what is going on?
• Are there any common elements in TV tie-ins?
• Does being a fan ruin your enjoyment of TV tie-ins?
• Should I even attempt to do an episode on Doctor Who novels? Is that the Mount Everest of tie-ins?
• Plus, anything else I can think to add to the list.

So join me, Mal Bernhardt, as I spend some time with Mulder, Scully, Fletcher, Solo (not that one) and many others for our TV tie-in season.
