'Legend Quest' Series Premieres Tonight, July 13 @ 10/9c on Syfy

New series, Legend Quest, premieres tonight.  Join archaeologist, Ashley Cowie, a real Templar Knight, as he and his team travel the world in search of history's greatest artifacts.

Sort of a mash-up of Indiana Jones/ Relic Hunter, the first episode takes us on a mission to search for the lost Ark of the Covenant, an elusive and mystical relic.

Join Cowie and his team each week,  as they search through jungles, caves, and trek through deserts in search of clues to a myriad of lost artifacts.

Legend Quest premieres tonight at 10/9c, following an all-new season of Ghost Hunters International.

'Alphas' Series Premiere Tonight on Syfy; Plus 'Eureka' and 'Warehouse 13' are back!

It's been a bit of a wait, but finally Eureka and Warehouse 13 are back, along with the new series premiere of Alphas as part of Syfy's exciting new line-up Powerful Mondays, tagged as the most powerful night of the week.

It all kicks off with the return of Eureka at 8/7 c, followed by the return of Warehouse 13 9/8.  Can't wait to see whether we've seen the last of H.G. Wells?  Last but not least of the line-up, is the new series premiere of Alphas 10/9c.  Think of it as a combination of Fringe and Heroes.


So what do  you think?  Is Alphas something you will watch? How about Eureka and Warehouse?

1st Novelization of 'The Walking Dead'

In between seasons, what is a Walking Dead zombie fan to do?  Go out and get yourself this novelization of the Robert Kirkman franchise, that's what!

 Rise of the Governor, which will be penned by Kirkman himself, as well as horror novelist, Jay Bonansinga (Stoker), will be the first in a trilogy. Amazon describes it as follows:

Following in the footsteps of the New York Times bestselling graphic novels and the record-breaking new television show, this debut novel in a trilogy of original Walking Dead books chronicles the back story of the comic book series greatest villain, The Governor.

In the Walking Dead universe, there is no greater villain than the Governor. The despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury, he has his own sick sense of justice: whether it's forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the townspeople's amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him. The Governor was voted "Villain of the Year" by Wizard Magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial arc in the history of the Walking Deadcomic-book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover how the Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.

What do you think? Will you be reading this one?
