Novels of Final Destination

Do you know about since 2005, Black Flame's company released a series of Final Destination books which faithfully follow the premise of the films? with each involving a group of people who find themselves targeted by Death after surviving a catastrophe of some sort due to a character experiencing a precognitive vision.

 

The first novel is Final Destination : Dead Reckoning written by Natasha Rhodes released in 2005.  When the nightclub that she's just been performing in collapses, killing everyone inside, Jess Golden is more than a little freaked out-she'd seen the whole thing happen in a vision only moments before.

As the death toll mounts a twisted plan is hatched so that Jess and her friends might live, a plan that may ultimately place them in further danger.

The second novel is Final Destination : Destination Zero written by David McIntee released in 2005.  After an investigative journalist narrowly cheats death in a terrorist attack she sees a great angle for a story by telling the survivors' tales in her magazine. When the survivors start turning up dead though she begins to suspect foul play and finds herself dragged into a world of spiritualism and conspiracies that ultimately leads back to Victorian England and Jack the Ripper.

 

 

The third novel is Final Destination : End of the Line is a novel by Rebecca Levene released in 2005.  A group of international students are expecting to live the wild life on a cultural exchange trip to New York, but soon find themselves the only survivors of a horrific subway crash. A young doctor treating the victims tells the students that they were meant to have died in the wreck but they just dismiss it as an idle fantasy. When the group start dying in bizarre and grotesque ways, it slowly becomes apparent that darker forces are at play.

The fourth novel is Final Destination : Dead Man's Hand written by Steven A. Roman released in 2005.  When Annie Goodwin travels to the desert oasis of Las Vegas, she hopes to turn her luck around.

In a town where the odds are always in the house's favor, can Annie hope to beat the Reaper in this game when she's drawn the Dead Man's Hand?

The fifth novel is Final Destination : Looks Could Kill written by Nancy A. Collins published in 2005.  Working on the fiendishly clever premise that you cannot cheat Death and he will eventually catch up with you no matter what you do, the Final Destination series continues with this nerve-shredding trip into the limelight. Looks Could Kill sweeps you into the ultra-glamorous world or supermodels and fashion photographers. When an upcoming starlet is horribly disfigured trying to save her friends, she is given an unexpected second chance. All she has to do is help Death do away with her friends.

 

And the last novel is Final Destination : Death of the Senses written by Andy McDermott released in 2006.  When Jack Curtis has a horrific vision one snowy night, his actions save the life of young policewoman Amy Tom from a brutal psychopath and more people besides.

The plot :

The film opens up with a bunch of workers who are gathering together for a company retreat.  Sam Lawton has prepared the breakfast before the bus ride.  Sam is a fellow office worker and short order cook.  His best friend Peter Friedkin is awaiting everyone else's arrival for the trip.  Molly Harper, Sam's girlfriend, arrives and she then breaks up with him due to his dreams of going to Paris to be an apprentice for his mentor.  Sam is hurt by Molly's decision.  Meanwhile Peter's girlfriend Candice Hooper, an intern for the company and a gymnast, comes along with her rival Olivia Castle, a clad dressed office girl.  Molly is being hit on by Isaac Palmer, a co-worker and womanizer.  Dennis Lapman, the company's boss, orders everyone to move it onto the bus.  Sam then goes to the construction wing of the building to find his other friend Nathan Sears, a supervisor who has a hard time dealing with construction worker Roy Carson.  Nathan and Sam regroup and head on the bus to their destination.  Sam then has a premonition of The North Bay Bridge collapsing, killing everyone except Molly, who did not die in the premonition.  When Sam comes to, he see's he is still alive and he gets Molly off the bus.  Peter, Candice, Olivia, Nathan, Isaac, and Dennis follow.  The bridge begins to collapse and Sam rushes all of his friends to safety.  The group looks surprised and confused as to how Sam knew the accident was going to happen.

During the company funeral, William Bludworth, a local coroner, is present and he warns the group that Death is after them.  They all ignore his warnings and move on with their lives.  Sam and Molly reconcile later that night.  The next day, Candice is with Peter at her gymnastics practice, and he cheers her on.  Candice does some work on the balance beam, and a screw from a malfunctioning fan falls on the beam.  Candice has many close calls with the screw, but it never injures her.  Candice then goes to do some vault work.  She is flipping while a fan set up by one of the coaches is turned on.  Another girl on the beam does a routine and she accidentally steps on the screw and falls.  She knocks over a bowl which is full of powder.  The powder is then blown into the area and Candice loses her sight, and she flips, accidentally letting go, landing on her neck, causing her spine and knee to pop through her skin.  Sam consoles a depressed Peter.

The next day, the group is all together at their work place and they all start drinking to relax.  Isaac is going through dead co-workers' desks and he comes across a Chinese massage parlor.  Isaac arrives, flirting with many of the women, but is taken care of by an old Chinese woman who speaks English, but simply refuses to speak to Isaac.  She later does acupuncture on him, and leaves him in a room where the walls are sound proof.   As Isaac rolls over on his bed, the leg of it caves in sending him to the ground, pushing the needles into his body.   He staggeringly gets up, but a bottle of alcohol causes a fire from a candle falling after Isaac's phone rings.  Isaac avoids the contained fire, but as he waits against the wall, a shelved Buddha falls and crushes his head.  Bludworth, who has been present for all of the deaths so far, is there and tells the remaining survivors that there is another way to avoid Death.  They would have to kill someone to gain their remaining days on Earth.  Peter revels in the idea to where it makes him crazy.  Agent Jim Block is covering the case of Sam and his friends, but he finds all of the deaths hard to believe.  Olivia goes to get eye surgery the same day, and the doctor straps her head into place.  Olivia, fearful, holds a teddy bear, and as the doctor put in tools to keep her eyes open, she rips off an eye from the bear.  Olivia is told by the doctor to wait, but the machine begins to malfunction, overheating, and the button to begin surgery is dropped as she reaches for it in panic.  The remote drops and the laser slices her eye open.  The laser goes off a few more times and it burns through her hand and scars her face.  She then escapes the machine.  Sam, Molly and the doctor run in to see a scared Olivia but as they were about to save her, she trips on the teddy bear's eye causing her to fall off the building and smashed onto a windshield on a nearby car, then her eye rolls away to be run over by a passing car.

Meanwhile, Nathan is working in construction and he is talking to Roy, an angry employee of his.  Nathan immediately sees a beam move closer to him with a lifting hook under it.  Nathan urges Roy to move, but he accidentally pushes him backwards as the hook falls, and Roy is stopped from landing on the spikes below.  Nathan then sees Roy has been impaled by the hook through the head.  As the group comes together, Peter finds that Nathan accidentally killed Roy, taking his days, skipping him in Death's design.  Meanwhile, as Dennis grills them all, a stray wrench that Roy placed on a belt sander earlier is propelled into his eyes and through his skull, the long way.  Later that night, in Le Miro 81, the cafe Sam cooks for, his mentor lets him become an apprentice in Paris.  He also lets Sam have the restaurant for the night to spend it with Molly.  Peter crashes the dinner, and he tells a story of how he tried to push a woman in front of a truck to steal her life.  Peter admits he couldn't do such an act, and he then ponders Candice's death and how she didn't deserve to die, but yet Molly supposedly survived Sam's vision. Peter then tries to kill Molly.  Molly takes refuge in the kitchen and Sam fights off  Peter before Agent Block is shot by Peter, taking his years.  The struggle leads to a gun being placed on the burning stove, but as Peter is about to kill Molly, Sam stabs him in the back with a large skewer.  Then Sam realizes he stole Agent Block's life from Peter, but Agent Block wasn't supposed to survive that long anyway.  

A month later, Sam and Molly are boarding a plane to Paris, and she asks for the window seat.  As they are boarding, a group of high schoolers fight, as a kid is kicked off with several students and a teacher.  During take off, Sam overhears that the kid claimed to have a vision the plane was going to explode.  Sam freaks out as he looks at his plane ticket, which reads "Flight 180". The plane begins to explode as the kid, revealed as Alex Browning, predicted.  Molly is sucked out the side, and is cut in half by the tailplane as the rest of plane catches fire, burning Sam to death. As the plane goes down in flames, a flame engulfed engine falls.  Nathan is at a local bar, and he is talking to a guy who reveals that Roy was supposed to die in the next few days after his actual death involving the hook because he was ill.  Then the landing gear from Flight 180 crashes through the bar and crushes Nathan to death, ultimately revealing the film to be a prequel to the events of the original Final Destination.

The budget of this film is $40 million and this film was ranked #1,440 in the world.
