New Novel Reveals Untold Story of Hiro and Charlie
If you ever wondered what happened during the six months when Hiro went back in time to try and save Charlie, the Texas waitress, played so wonderfully by Jayma Mays, you’re in luck. Del Rey, an imprint of Ballantine Books at the Random House Publishing Group, has announced plans to publish a novel based on the Hiro and Charlie storyline. The book will be titled Heroes: Saving Charlie and will further explore the relationship of the two characters.
If you recall, Hiro went back in time to try to save his first love, Charlie, from being brutally murdered by Sylar. Viewers only saw a small portion of what went on during their 6 months together, but the book will give a more detailed account of the events of those months.
“One of the more memorable relationships in Season One was Hiro’s first love, the waitress Charlie. We were as smitten as Hiro by that story and seized the chance to tell the full adventure of Hiro’s six months in the past. Aury Wallington was hand picked by the writers of the show for her brilliant voice for these characters. The novel is a welcome addition to the Heroes family,” said Tim Kring, creator-executive producer, “Heroes.”
The novel, written with the full cooperation and consultation of the show’s creators, is penned by Aury Wallington. Wallington, author of the book Pop!, has also written for shows such as Sex and the City and Veronica Mars. The 256 page book comes out in hardcover on December 26, 2007 with a suggested retail price tag of $23.95.
