Mortal Fear
Encyclopedia : M : MO : MOR : Mortal Fear
Mortal Fear is an original novel based on the U.S. television series Buffy.
Book Description
Something new has swept into the lives of the Scooby Gang, but all through different sources as they try to find acceptance with other people outside their tight knit slayage group; Xander with his co-workers, Willow with her professor at university and Dawn with a new group of not so straight-laced friends. Meanwhile, Buffy is being sent on random missions by a man that goes by the name of Simon. He wants her to retrieve parts of a mystical sword and put them together, but he refuses to say why or who he even is. When her friends suddenly start to turn against her, Buffy has to figure out how the sword and Simon ties into all the odd goings-on in Sunnydale.
Trivia
- Tagline: 'A new Big Bad has turned the slayer against her friends and her sister'.
- Characters include: Buffy, Willow, Xander and Dawn.
- The novel places a strong focus on Dawn Summers.
Continuity
- The Historian's Note claims the story is supposed to take place in the Sixth Season of Buffy. However it seems to fit better within the continuity shortly after Selfless.
Canonical issues
- Buffy/Angel books such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy/Angel merchandise.
