A UNCLE em livros / The books from UNCLE


O sucesso da série de TV O Agente da UNCLE nos anos 1960 foi tão grande que gerou vários outros subprodutos. Incluindo uma coleção de 24 livros com as aventuras de Napoleon Solo e Illya Kuryakin. Sem o rígido controle exercido sobre a TV, os livros podiam explorar um pouco mais conteúdos adultos, especialmente em erotismo e violência. Foram lançados entre 1965 e 1968 e venderam aos milhões de exemplares. Abaixo a lista dos volumes (em inglês) segundo a Wikipedia.

Two dozen novels were based upon Man from U.N.C.L.E. and published between 1965 and 1968. Unhampered by television censors, the novels were generally grittier and more violent than the televised episodes. The series sold in the millions, and was the largest TV-novel tie-in franchise until surpassed by Dark Shadows and Star Trek. (From Wikipedia).
