Pro-G reports that a trilogy of Assassin's Creed books are to be written by best selling science fiction author, Steven Barnes. The first book is a prequel to the game and is set to release in October. The books will center on the backstory of the game's main character, Altair. Having written for television series such as The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, Barnes seems like a natural choice (360 Fanboy readers will remember the recently leaked info that Assassin's Creed actually has a science fiction plot). We're curious to see how many of the game's sci-fi elements make it into the books.
So, will you be picking up the books, or will you be saving your scratch for the game?

I'm interested in the books, especially since there seems to be a neat sci-fi twist in the plot. Right now, however, it's behind the Mass Effect prequels on my interest list.

I'll play Assassin's Creed first, in case there's spoilers in the books.

Steven Barnes is a great writer! A lot of his characters are martial artists or very gifted fighters. I would highly recommend them to anyone who likes a lot of action in their stories.
