Biehn Reading

Want to read the books that inspired the movies? Look them up at Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, or Powells Books

 

The Abyss by Orson Scott Card. [Out of print] Novelization of the movie.

The novel provides a much better insight into Michael Biehn's character of Lt. Coffey. It also explains more about the HPNS that Coffey unexpectedly suffers and gives us more of his thoughts, giving a better understanding of his actions.

 

 

Aliens by Alan Dean Foster [Out of print] Novelization of the movie.

This novel pretty much follows the Special Edition movie scene for scene
. And is what had us holding out for the SE! The extra Hicks scenes were well worth waiting for.

 

 

 

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun - Prima's Official Strategy Guide by Steve Honeywell

Has brief profiles of the characters, explains units, vehicles and buildings, and examines every level of the game. Lots of graphics and a few pictures of Michael as McNeil.

 

The Cutting Room Floor by Laurent Bouzereau [1994]

Michael is mentioned several times in this book about scenes that were cut from various movies for various reasons. Interesting. Includes B&W photos insert.

 

 

 

Deadly Intentions by William Randolph Stevens [1982] [Out of print]

The 1985 TV Mini-Series about Dr. Charles Raynor was based on this book, which was the true story of Christina Henry and her highly disturbed husband, Dr. Patrick Henry. Includes B&W photos insert of the couple and the evidence that helped convict Dr. Henry.


 

 

The Fan by Bob Randall [Out of print] 1977.

Movie based on the book which was written as a compilation of letters rather than in chapter form. Kind of an interesting twist.


 

 

 

 

The Fan by Bob Randall [movie tie-in 1981] [Publisher out of stock ?]

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Fiddling Man by James Oliver Curwood

This short story can be found in a book entitled Back to God's Country and was the basis of the movie Blood of the Hunter. The movie ended a little differently than the short story.


A Fire in the Sky by Walter Kendrick [movie tie-in 1978] [Out of Print]

Novelization of the NBC TV movie starring Richard Crenna & Elizabeth Ashley. Includes B&W photos insert.

(Not to be confused with the Fire in the Sky movie starring D.B. Sweeney about alien abduction).

 

 

Grease Fotonovel [1978] [Out of Print]

 

 

 

 

The Haunted Summer by Hope Dahl Jordan [Out of Print]

The Terrible Secret was based on this novel and was screened on TV as an Afterschool Special, starring Michael Biehn as Seth.


 


Hollywood Babble-On by Hadleigh Boze

There is a quote about Lauren Bacall during the filming of The Fan in this book.

 

 

 


In A Shallow Grave by James Purdy. The novelization of the movie. Paperback.   [Currently available]

Author Purdy was very pleased with Michael Biehn's performance.


 

 

 

K2 by Patrick Meyers [Out of print] Movie based on the hit stage play.

The Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy. Paperback. [Currently available - reprint]  Also available in hardback and audio.


Michael Biehn [Japan]

This visually stunning Japanese book on Michael Biehn is well worth the investment if you can find it. It is filled with many pictures, both in color and B&W.

 

 

Navy SEALs by James Adair. [Out of print]

Novelization of the movie. Has a few extra scenes in it.


Quinlan's Film Stars by David Quinlan [5th edition] [2000]

There is a brief profile and filmography in this one - only it still lists Wonderland amongst Michael's films. It also has a real cute B&W picture of Michael (pg 57).

 

 

 

Rampage by William P. Wood. [Out of print]

The movie was based on this book about actual events.

 

 

 

 


The Terminator by Shaun Hutson. [Out of print] Based on the screenplay.

This is the one with the extra scenes in it that were cut from the movie and the following novelization.

 

 

 


The Terminator by Randall Frakes and W. H. Wisher [Out of print] Novelization of the movie.

Sticks pretty faithfully to the original release of the movie.


 

 


The Terminator by Sean French for The British Film Institute.

Part of the BFI's "Modern Classics" series; a very bizarre critique and opinion of the film. One which has upset some fans of the movie. It is only listed here by virtue of the fact that it actually mentions Michael Biehn.


 

Terminator 2: Judgement Day by Randall Frakes [Out of print] Novelization of the movie.



Terminator 2: Judgement Day: The Book of the Film: An Illustrated Screenplay by James Cameron and William Wisher.

 



Tombstone by Giles Tippette [Out of print]

Novelization of the movie by a well-known author of westerns. Follows the movie very closely, not much more than what you see on the screen.
