"Alan Dean Foster is an sf legend - a writer who produced a shelf of original
novels but also made a reputation novelizing movies and TV from Star Wars to
Aliens, turning out books that transcended quickie adaptations, becoming
beloved bestsellers in their own right.

Disney now owns a bunch of these books, thanks to their acquisitions of Lucas
and Fox, and these books continue to sell briskly. Disney not only isn't paying
Foster any royalties for these books - they're refusing to even issue him
royalty statements."
