Magic Times Series on Sci Fi

Look for Sliders and Babylon 5 writer and producer Marc Scott Zicree to come out with a TV series based on the upcoming 'Magic Time' fantasy novels he developed with his wife, Elaine. Former B5 producer John Copeland will produce the series, according to Sci Fi Wire.

The HarperCollins books, slated for December, tell the story of a world in which machines have stopped running and magic has re-emerged as a force in the universe. Some of Earth's inhabitants remain human, but others have morphed into strange creatures or monsters, Zicree told Sci Fi Wire.

'The three books tell a larger story, and they stand alone as a single adventure,' Zicree told Sci Fi. 'They follow a group of characters who travel from Manhattan across the country to see what caused the change. The hero is a lawyer who had been raising his orphaned 12-year-old sister, who is now no longer human. So he's searching for his sister and trying to save her.'

Zicree also said he and Evergreen productions will be developing Core, a sci fi TV series co-created with Star Wars novel 'Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter' writer Michael Reaves.
