Deprivation House

[Sam Spade]

The S&S website has anounced a Undercover Brothers book called 'Deprivation House'. So far they have not released a picture or even a price. But they have given a Publication Date date: May 20, 2008. Seeing as it is coming out in May, it may be a undercover brothers super mystery.

Thanks for the info.

I just checked out Deprivation House on simonsays.com, and I would disagree with you, since the title is listed under the normal Undercover Brothers section of the site.  The Undercover Brothers Super Mysteries have their own section, and the book is not listed in that section.

Also, S&S is currently listing the price as $0.00.  I wonder if it will be a free book.

Also, further down the page, Foul Play is listed twice.  Once as a Trade Paperback for $4.99, and then again as an EBOOK for $0.00.

I was on the wikipedia site and they have Deprivation House listed as a REGULAR Undercover brothers book due to come out in 2008, and The Unifficial Hardy Boys Home Page website has it listed under the same thing, so based on the evidence, I don't think it takes the mind of Frank or Joe Hardy to see that you are probably right!

[tomswift2002]

Agreed.  However, there will probably be two Super Mysteries released during May/June 2008 (a regular Hardy Boys UBSM and a HBND UBSM).

S&S now has the list price of Deprivation House posted on their website. The price is 4.99.

Hmm, interesting title. Wonder what it will be about?

[Sam Spade]

S&S now has the price listed as $5.99!!!
Either this book is going to be a Undercover Brothers Supermystery after all, or S&S some how messed up the price on their website, or, GASP!, THEY RAISED THE PRICE ON US!!! (The little sneaks!)

Here's a link to the web page!

Amazon also has it listed as 5.99 with 160 pages.

I sure hope they didn't raise the price...

I was going  to pre-order but it's already up for sale on amazon.com!

SimonSays.com also says that the book ships within 3-4 days! This one?s quite early since it has a publication date of May 25. It seems that most of the Hardy Boys books are coming out early now, I can?t remember a book that I have got after the pub date!

The official plot summary for ''Deprivation House'', was been posted on SimonSays.com. Since there has already been a preview published in Comic Con Artist this summary doesn?t tell us any thing we don?t already now, except that the show is called Deprivation House, witch, if I?m mistaken, was not actually mentioned in the sneak-peek. 

ATAC Briefing for Agents Frank and Joe Hardy

MISSION: To join the cast of a new reality show called Deprivation House - featuring a group of teens competing to see who can survive the longest without modern luxuries - and to determine who's behind the death threats received by other contestants.

LOCATION: A huge villa in Beverly Hills, CA.

POTENTIAL VICTIMS: All the contestants and crew of the show.

SUSPECTS: The show's million-dollar prize offers strong motivation to each contestant, and some members of the crew are hiding big secrets.

Just a thought on the raised price the ''Super Mysteries'' (both crossover and non-crossover)  have been sold for $5.99 from the very that of the series, so maybe because these upcoming books are in trilogies and in a sense different from the regular UB series, S&S thinking is that they have 'Super Mystery status'.

When will a series, title ATAC: come out? I wish there would be one. They could have a trilogy on Vijay and other agents.

Sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying there?  When will what series come out?  A series just about ATAC and its other agents or a series explaining ATAC's origins? 

If thats what you are asking then good luck trying to get one out since $&$ seems to be more interested in putting out Hardy Boys rip-offs right now rather than filling in any background info on ATAC.

Thats what I'm wandering, will they ever put out a series just based on ATAC not just the boys, I still like the ATAC books.
