Is Jericho a rip-off?
That’s what Rod Ellis says, anyway. As I was doing my normal technorati search yesterday, I found the website Author by Night, which is Rod Ellis’ blog and where I found this entry.
Long before CBS presented Jericho on television, Rod Ellis wrote Flight in Winter and sent it out to a group of readers. The time frame for this is easily proven. They know who was here first. They know where the idea for the television show came from and they have read something much more riveting than CBS can deliver. To prove that point, The Saga, the first in the Flight in Winter series has been released on the internet so that people can read what CBS is failing to accomplish.
The blog post links to another of his sites, Flight in Winter, where you can read the story that he says has a direct relationship with Jericho.
What do I think? I don’t know. I just found the site and haven’t had a chance to read the story yet. When I do a google search for either Rod Ellis or Flight in Winter, not a lot comes up. I’ll definitely be reading the story and let y’all know what I think.
