The Men In Black book series by Esther M. Friesner ties into the hit film franchise starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. The series includes novelizations of the first two films plus an original story set in the same universe.

Men In Black (1997) adapts the original film about a secret government agency that monitors and regulates alien activity on Earth. Men in Black: The Grazer Conspiracy (2000) is an original novel that expands the film universe with a new case for the agents. Men in Black II (2002) novelizes the sequel film.

Friesner brings her own wit and experience as a science fiction and fantasy author to the adaptations, making them more than simple retellings of the scripts. Her background in humorous fantasy made her a natural fit for the franchise’s blend of comedy and science fiction.
