One year following the film, Ben Corrin released the first literary sequel, entitled The Good Son: No Fair. The first follow-up, Imperfect One, was released in 1996, while the third, Time to Live, is set to be released in early 1998. Last on Mars author Elijah Lane has conceived a second series - entitled Another Way, though Lane believes it will be several years before it will be published. Corrin and Lane have collaborated to write a 'novel of opposites', Spin 180, in which Mark and Henry's roles are reversed. It was published earlier this year.
