Hilarity ensues.Ĭorporal Hicks – For your co-author, this is his second Alien / Predator related novel for DH Press.

Worse, his cousin Derek has found a way to bring the Predators to the world Felicity, targeting Andar and his colleagues. The family business is a sordid one and Andar, our protagonist, has stayed away from it and now finds himself dragged back in. Robert Greenberger – Rival members of a family are brought together when the patriarch dies. You also learn how to work with the short hand of adaptations - you can skimp a little on describing a Predator since the readers tend to know what they look like.Ĭorporal Hicks – Can you tell us about the story of your latest novel, Flesh and Blood? It also teaches you to work nimbly and fast since approvals from a studio and a publisher tend to eat into the time you allot for actually writing the story.

Robert Greenberger – Working with other media tie-ins teaches you to respect other people’s property and leave them as directed. Do you think coming from other popular franchises such as Star Trek helps you writing in new territory such as Predator? Like the other authors behind DH Press’ resurrection, you’re a very seasoned author with many Star Trek novels under your belt. Once the Predator became familiar to Danny Glover and company - and the audience - it stopped working.Ĭorporal Hicks – Flesh and Blood is by no means your first novel. The second movie went in entirely different direction in both look and feel and didn’t work as well. Since then, I’ve actually only read the comics from various publishers and none of the novels, save Forever Midnight.Ĭorporal Hicks – Which movie would you say is your favorite and why? Robert Greenberger – I thought the first movie was incredibly well done and effective, an entirely different look at first contacts. In and around the day jobs, I’ve been a freelance writer of fiction and non-fiction, heavily weighted towards Star Trek, a first love.Ĭorporal Hicks – How long have you been a fan of the Predator franchise? I’m a 20 year veteran of DC Comics, 3 years at Starlog, 1 year at Marvel Comics, 10 months at an internet startup and six months and counting as Production Manager at Weekly World News.

Robert Greenberger – I love pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. First off, for those of you reading the interview who don’t know you, can you tell us a little about yourself?
