Major Announcement - Weston Ochse to Pen Person of Interest Novel

Hey Grunts!

I've just been contracted to write a Person of Interest novel. This is going to be my first media tie in. I'm really thrilled that, not only am I breaking new ground, but that it's such an awesome show. The book will be published by Titan.

For those of you not familiar with the show. It's produced by Kilter Films, Bad Robot, and Warner Brothers and appears on CBS. Person of Interest is about to go into its fifth season and is doing remarkably well. Here's the low down skinny:

Person of Interest is an American science fiction crime drama television series created by Jonathan Nolan that premiered on September 22, 2011, on CBS. It is executive produced by Nolan, alongside J. J. Abrams, Bryan Burk, and Greg Plageman. It stars Jim Caviezel as John Reese, a former CIA agent who is presumed dead. He is approached by a mysterious billionaire named Harold Finch (Michael Emerson), who is trying to prevent violent crimes before they happen by using an advanced surveillance system dubbed "The Machine", which turns out to have evolved into a sentient AI. Their unique brand of vigilante justice attracts the attention of two NYPD officers, Joss Carter (Taraji P. Henson) and Lionel Fusco (Kevin Chapman), whom Reese uses to his advantage as he investigates persons of interest. [Wikipedia]

So far there isn't a title for the novel, but it is due to hit bookstore shelves in June of 2016. I'll share more information as I know it.

Let me ask you. What's your favorite episode and why?

I'm leaning towards Root (Season Two).
