![]() ![]() ![]() I'd guess Nightflyers will need word of a second series order before a real fandom can develop. It's a very different model from Game of Thrones and other shows, which are weekly events and give a lot of time for fan speculation and discussion. As for Nightflyers, it is set in the future on the eve of Earth’s destruction, as a crew of explorers journey on the galaxy’s most advanced ship to intercept a mysterious alien spacecraft that. “I admit I've not seen any evidence of a particular fandom around Nightflyers at this time,” he says, “but I think this has a lot to do with the fact that SyFy in the US, and now Netflix elsewhere, released it in a way that's aimed at binging rather than water-cooler talk. “What’s so great about Netflix is that shows are able to grow a huge following overnight and bring books to a whole new audience.”Įlio Garcia, co-founder of, the biggest A Song of Fire and Ice/Game of Thrones fan site, says that fans of that world have gone back to Martin’s other works to explore his writing, themes and approaches to storytelling in his “second most significant universe” The Thousand Worlds, but that this doesn’t guarantee anything for Nightflyers. “We wanted to give readers a chance to experience it before the TV show airs,” says Natasha Bardon, publishing director at Harper Voyager. A TV tie-in edition is due on February 7. To gear up for the show, the original 23,000-word novella was published in the UK in 2018 as a hardback book with elegant, otherworldly illustrations by David Palumbo. But first, Nightflyers needs to prove its worth. ![]()
