Books based on video games aren't new, so it's no wonder Bethesda is adding their Elder Scrolls franchise to that growing list. Make some extra money, please the fans, everybody's happy.

Some of you may be familiar with the writer Bethesda hired, too. Greg Keyes, that New York Times best-selling author responsible for several Star Wars novels of the New Jedi Order series, will be penning the two Elder Scrolls novels.

Bethesda has joined with Del Rey Books, a branch of Ballantine Books and also responsible for the Star Wars novels, to publish two novels based on the award-winning game series we know and love as The Elder Scrolls. The books will be written by New York Times best-selling author Greg Keyes, who also penned three Star Wars novels in the Jedi Order series.

The first novel, titled The Infernal City, will be published in Fall 2009 and takes place after the events of Oblivion. A shadow floats above the land of Tamriel, and wherever it descends, people die to be brought back as undead. Not surprisingly, a young boy-girl duo are brought together by unlikely events and must rescue Tamriel from -- you guessed it -- certain DOOM.
