How probable is that scenario? :D How many novels with storylines not
present in an original TV series are accompanied by a statement from the
original series producer, suggesting that they are considered official
canon?
But to answer your question: even then I'd say my comment still applies.
I wouldn't consider a novel by Reg Hill to be canon, even if Gerry Anderson
did; although I'm fairly sure he wouldn't in any case.
Cheers
