Brave New World (eBook)

Brave New World (eBook)
Date released:	September 25, 2015

Brave New World is a book that takes place one year after the fateful events of the Odessa Summit. The world is a very different place: it's no longer friendly for evos as they are held responsible for what happened on June 13, 2014. It is written by David Bishop, with cover art by Rubine.

About

Published by Bastei Entertainment, Brave New World is the first of six eBooks that were released to accompany the Heroes Reborn. Brave New World is based on Tim Kring's original drafts of the script for the first episode of Heroes Reborn (which also shares the name Brave New World). It is 85 pages long, and was released on September 25, 2015 (the day after the premiere of Heroes Reborn), with a price of $2.99 on Amazon.

The book very closely follows the the Heroes Reborn episode Brave New World, from the order of the events to the dialog the characters speak. There are a few additional scenes and details in the book that aren't shown in the episode, including a few new characters, a lot of the thoughts and motivations of existing characters, and various details that simply get cut in the limited time allotted to a filmed television show.

Each chapter begins with an excerpt from a different source, including extracts from Escalating Evolution, an article called The Odessa Files, and online messages about the game Evernow. Each scene is told from a different character's perspective. Sometimes the same scene might be told in sections, each from various perspectives. For instance, the scene in which Tommy meets Luke at Moe's is told alternately from the point of view of Emily, Tommy, Joanne, and Luke.

Summary

The book can be neatly summarized the same as the episode Brave New World. For additional scenes and information, see below.

Differences from the Episode

The book very closely follows the events as they occur in the Heroes Reborn episode Brave New World. Events happen in the same order, characters have the exact same lines, scenes are described as they appear onscreen. As with the format of most books, there are certain details that can be expounded on more in a book than in a filmed episode.
