Here is something interesting. I have owned this for nearly fifteen years. Obviously, we know OSC wrote the novelization for James Cameron's The Abyss. That is not being questioned.
What's funny is that I own a version of novel which claims otherwise. It is a funny misprint I have kept all these years,
The dust jacket for my HC for The Abyss clearly states on the cover:
The
Abyss
based on an original screenplay by
ORSON SCOTT CARD
A Novel by Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Author
JAMES CAMERON
...and yes, the bizarre capitalization is exactly how it's printed.
What's odd is that the spine is labeled correctly...
A Novel by
ORSON SCOTT CARD
based on an original screenplay by
JAMES CAMERON
Funny, no?
