Are there fallout novels

Bad enough every developer has their own take on things. To through authors into the mix. But over the years I have come across books that might have and some have helped inspired Fallout. Or they just don't think a Fallout book series would sell very well. Any number of reasons really. However, as Dyre also pointed out, Microsoft is big on novelizations.

So Bethesda has a lot of leeway, but Microsoft could and has the power to change that attitude if they chose to intervene for the development of a novel series. All Roads is short, but it's a great read if you love NV. It made me love Benny and Jessup more as characters and it provides some interesting if somewhat murky canonicity background on the main act of Fallout: New Vegas. I would love some Fallout books, or if nothing else some comics. Comics would probably be easier to do, but honestly I'd go for either or both.

If nothing else, Bethesda could do a comic adaptation of the original Fallout game, since the Vault Dweller's journal has already outlined most of how it canonically went down. Comics would probably work better than novels, and it's definitely something I could see the Fallout franchise expanding further into.

It's a great read for either audience. I've got to admit, I gave up on this book about halfway in. It just felt a bit too dated for me. The plot wasn't really moving along, and it was to a large degree a weird mashup of a Young Adult book explosions! I do have a certain fondness for it however, as the aesthetics and general vibe really remind me of Fallout. A man is tasked with taking a shipment of anti-plague serum across the nicknamed Damnation Alley, a stretch of highway that connects Los Angeles and the East Coast.

He has a bad ass car with a bunch of guns and he's gonna have to deal with weird ass monsters and raiders trying to murder him. Hell yeah. If you can stomach pulp and a somewhat questionably straightforward plot, you might enjoy this one. The movie on the other hand Wool came out much later than the first games in the Fallout franchise, right about when New Vegas hit.

As such, this wasn't really an inspiration for the games, but the book definitely reminds me of it and hey, what do you care? You're just looking for something to read. In Wool , the protagonist is surviving the post-apocalypse world in an underground bunker called a Silo named after the shape it has , along with a bunch of other people.

Since Wool has a variety of secrets and plot twists, I can't say too much about it without giving anything away, but if you enjoyed the Vault locations in Fallout and that whole mythology of people locked in underground shelters for centuries, this is the book for you. The entirety of the series takes place inside the Silos however, so it's a bit light on the wasteland exploration aspects.

What else is there? They're all solid entries into the genre and you can catch glimpses of the setting of Fallout in most of them. Want to Read Currently Reading Read. Error rating book.
