Science fiction/fantasy publisher Tor is set put out a BioShock novel.

Intriguingly, 2K creative director and BioShock writer is listed as the author of the book. It may be that the novel is based on his ideas rather than directly penned by him, but still - is that canonical enough for you?

This comes, rather unceremoniously, from a catalogue listing spotted by Gamasutra. Not a lot else was revealed by the listing, other than that the book will see hardback and soft cover release, is slated for release in Autumn and will "take you deeper into the realms" of the BioShock franchise's story.

Tor (which is an imprint of Macmillan) also has a new trilogy of Halo novels coming up and has published notable sci-fi and fantasy authors such as Orson Scott Card and Terry Goodkind.

Yesterday, SPOnG brought you news on BioShock 2's release date and platform ambiguity.
