Apparently a follow-up novel by the creator came out a few weeks ago V the Second Generation which takes place 20 years later. Based on the reviews, it sounds like this is a springboard for a miniseries of its own.
The creator, Kenneth Johnson, was responsible for the Alien Nation television series which was excellent, in my opinion. He wrote V the Final Battle, but it got changed a bit by the folks who actually put it together, so apparently doesn't come into play in this book and possible miniseries.
I can hear the music already....
De dum dum. De dum dum. De dum dum....
V the Miniseries is worth your time, as it really was a touchstone for the eighties sci-fi. It rejects Close Encounters and E.T. as aliens coming in peace. They come with a subversive message to enslave us all. Watch the skies.
