"Double Down (http://www.hardyboyscasefiles.com/store/index.php?isbn=1416974466)" has been revealed for a Jan 6, 2009 release on Amazon.com. It looks like this will be the second book in what appears to be the second Hardy Boys Undercover Brothers trilogy called ''DOUBLE DANGER" with "Double Trouble (http://www.hardyboyscasefiles.com/store/index.php?isbn=1416967656)" being the first book of the series.
Oh, great. S&S goes from a lackluster series to a series of trilogies. Hopefully they got some one like William Shatner to do the trilogies.
Hmmm, this is the same thing that is killing the comic book industry. Limited Series.
Hmm, I wonder what this will mean for the Hardys?
'"We stand here today to pay our final respects to the two best crime fighters in the world of children's literature...Frank and Joe Hardy. While they battled criminals for over 80 years, it appears that they finally met their doom at the hands of their publisher, Simon & Schuster."'
According to SimonSays.com this trilogy will be called the ''Double Danger Trilogy''.
As a side note, I just bought Comic Con Artist and it has an excerpt for the Murder House Trilogy. It looks interesting.
Anyway, at least we have the comics, which might last a little longer. Hmm, I was wondering if the Hardy's would ever make it to 100 yrs.
There will also be a second Nancy Drew Girl Detective trilogy, called ''Identity Mystery Trilogy'', with ''Secret Identity'' the first book in the trilogy.
It is interesting that both Girl Detective trilogies have the word ''mystery'' in their names.
Double Danger Trilogy #2 ''Missing Double'' has been renamed ''Double Down''. Personally I think ''Missing Double'' is a better name but not S&S I guess.
It's strange that so many Hardy Boys books are being renamed lately before they are even released. That's there's been...
Graphic Novel #13, changed from ''The Amazing Case of Lind'z'' to ''The Deadliest Stunt''
Graphic Novel #14, ''''Haley Danelle's Top Eight!'' to ''Haley Danelle's Best Eight''
Graphic Novel #15, ''Live Free, Die Hardy!'' to ''Live Free or Die Hardy''
And now this.
Okay---does Double Down mean that the Hardy's are going to be battling some gambling ring---and would that even be appropriate for the series target age range?
Hi All-I am new to the board but not new to the Hardy Boys. I noticed on S&S site that the next "Double" Trilogy is listed. Book #2 was "Missing Double", but now it looks like they have changed the name to "Double Down" . . .
I noticed last night that according to the cover of book one, the trilogy is Double Trouble, not Double Danger. My head's spinning with all the name changes!
Double Trouble --- wasn't that the name of Casefiles #22? I seem to recall that there was already a book with that name or a very similar name.
#22 is Double Exposure
I am going to double down that "Double Down" will not be a good HB book, its a UB so i think ill win this one
Agreed.
Well, I donno if that will be the end of Frank And Joe, there are three books to the trilogys and double deception does not sound like a murder of the hardys.
So I think they will live.
Mabey they will die but come back some how. After all they have to be in Galixy X.

What are you talking about? Tom Swift was referring to the fact that S&S made stupid HB books, not actually killing them off.
Do you actually think they'll get killed? Nothing like that happens in the UB! There frozen in time!
:D Well, I think that we should not call it frozen in time maybe we could say that the series stays in the same time frame, though I think they somewhat get more maturer through the series...
I donno what do you think?
They stay them same, IMHO.
ATAC IS AWESOME
DO NOT MISQUOTE ME...
I SAID ATAC IS AWESOME
Even if it stays on the same story line, doesn't alot of serieses that some of us like..
Agreed.
Okay, could you guys stop repeating yourselves...we know you LOVE UB and ATAC already!
And we all know you hate them all ready.
Because ATAC and the Undercover Brothers have no future. Infact right now Simon & Schuster is in the process of cancelling the series.

Where do you get this from???????????? Way to make me mad, in ten seconds I will send off my angry letter to SandS...
;D ;D
Are they really going to cancel the UB series? :'(
I think Tom is flat out lieing to drive us nuts! >:( He would have made its own topic if it where true! Sources Tom! Sources!
Considering that it has been over 4 months since $&$ last announced the Galaxy X book 1 (and the only places that I've seen titles for Galaxy X 2 & 3 have been on Wikipedia and the Hardy Boys Wiki) it is looking pretty much like $&$ is definitely thinking about the viability of the series. Bookmanager doesn't even list Xplosion or The X Factor (same with Chapters and Amazon).
Hmm. If HB:UB does actually fall off the face of the earth, this section will become pretty dead.
Unless Casefiles' fans rub it into the faces of UBs' fans, or the UBs' fans just riot and complain about it.
But, before it goes dead some of us will post angry mean comments about SandS....
HAHA
The non-ATAC fans already beat you to it!
Sorry ATAC fans but ussily when a series put tons of Trilogies back to back, it means something's going on. And consider how fast we usilly hear about new UB books, I think this spells the end for UBs AND GDs (bleep!).
(Does happy dance)
(Panics cause ND:GD may end)
(Waits eagerly for the third UB Trilogy to end)
(Screams swear words and hope that ND:GD dosn't end)
(Gets kicked off MPF for screaming swear words.)
Would they seriously stop ND:GD too? I thought it was selling okay?
If it was like a year ago, I wouldn't care too much although there were some decent books in the first few. But lately, every one that comes out is definitely good.
Sorry, this thread is about UBs ::)
(Passes out at the fact the trilogys could end the UB's)

*Forget passing out. He may even die if $&$ ends the series on a cliff-hanger, which is how it is looking right now with
Galaxy X book 1 being the only book announced in the
Galaxy X trilogy. Of course, $&$ could easily cancel the book and just end the series with the last book in the
Double Trouble trilogy.
Hold on! I found a video made by S@S that PROVES that the UBs are not being canciled:

I can't pull up the viedo but whew.... :D :D And Tom they announced the next tree titles (5 counting the Wiki ones) why are you so shocked that they havent announced the next you have plenty! The trilogys proably make them release titles in lumps instead of steadly like they used to. But I wonder if they will keep them in trilogys. BFM does have a point as long as HBs exist the NDs will exist and vicece versa.
Wikipedia has a bad habit of being wrong. ANYONE can edit it. The UBs and Girl Detective are doomed. The trilogys seem like a last ditch adtempt to save the series, and they arn't working!
I don't think the Girl Detective trilogys are bad.
I'm not saying girl detective is bad, but If the UBs end, sadly, so the the ND:GD books. :'(

Well, if Galaxy X is anything like Murder House, there's no need to worry about a cliff hanger.
That's why I'm wondering, if $&$ is planning on scrapping the series, if the one
Galaxy X book that has been written is going to be rewritten into just a one book deal and end the series with that. I forget whether it was on here or another board where I read someone saying that they usually release the titles to a trilogy close together. And if $&$ were going to do that, then why haven't we heard anymore about
Galaxy X 2 & 3, since the last title was revealed back in June. And as I looked back on other years I noticed that $&$ would release a number of future titles up until June of that year, and then July and August would see no releases, but then September would see more titles being announced. So, maybe over the summer, $&$ gave the
Undercover Brothers a good looking over and are making changes to the series.

Sorry your posts on this topic hasn't counted since this post
hello,
I am Bozonessinc and I would like to say that I was wrong about the action in the casefiles. I found 2 casefiles on my book shelf and they looked like they were one of the best books I have. Sorry for saying they should be recalled. Though I found those I still hold true to my ATAC series is the best. Any mis quoting of this post will make you sound like you don't accept the fact that casefiles are good.
Thats a view a lot of ATAC fans have, Casefiles are good but UBs are better!
Well, thanks for being honest. Give credit where credit is due. I try to do that for the UBs too because I do sort of like a couple of them in a way.

Whose bones.... You keep saying that name... Oh she/he hitting head of desk.
YOU ARE BONES!! OK?? YOU ARE BONES!!
I go by Bozoness. not bones. That is a part of the human body, realize that?????? Bozoness is me, I am bozonessinc...
NOT BONES
You are Bones, I'm gonna call you that, I don't care what you think, is that clear?
Just change your name or something, Bozoness. He won't quit.
I personly like the Casefiles better because I have read books form EVERY SINGLE SERIES, and only the Clue Brothers have been more out of continulay then the UBs. Plus, if I wanted talking scenes, I could read the later Harry Potter books, and even them have more action.
Negative Zone, the Bones thing is annoying.

Thank you bigfootman, I have realized that Negative zone has no respect for me at all in this world, and obviously for anyone else, if he would just not call me bones I would be happy. The name is bozonessinc, changing my name would not help the cause.
This is the name that I use on every site, and that is the name that I like, just like you like Negative Zone. (goes with you), I should get to be called what I want to be called, and I think I have every right to that.
How come every other member has enough respect for me, to call me bozonessinc and well, you just don't have that. I wonder why, is it that I like Ubs or something or is it just you don't like anyone? Why single me out by calling me weird names, what have I done...
Sorry, members of the forum, I am not a whiner, I really get tired of junk after a while. Every thread that I post in that Negative Zone is in this happens. I spend a couple of minutes typing a good long response that I hope he will read.
It will become clear to me I think that Negative Zone will just read one word and then type a response that he wants to call me bones. Then for that I have only one question, why are you calling me bones? How do you get that out of bozonessinc, I mean I don't mind bozo (I don't care if you condone the use of the name Iola.Alive) but, I am not a bozo, I really don't care about it though.
The name bones however I have an issue with because it is stupid, it comes from nothing out of my name. People call you Nzone because it comes from Negative Zones, bones does not go that while with Bozonessinc in my mind. How many others on this forum are having problems with Negative Zone?
ITS BOZONESSINC
I think it's funny that you care about this so much! What's the big deal?

1. It might. But you don't have to be pressured to change it though.
2. You honestly don't mind "bozo"? By the way, when you look at your name "bozonessinc" fast, you kind of see bones. Well, I did the first couple times anyways. And it is sort of imbedded in it:
bozo
nessinc or
boz
onessinc. Just pointing it out.
3. Um, does anyone else want to answer that? ;)
I actually have a couple of suggestions of how to fight or not fight back. But I should probably not get in the middle or take sides.
I just created a thread for people to comment on if they want me to change my name on here to bones. I have finally given up.

It just seemed like you didn't like it because you didn't know what it meant. If you know what it means, then I don't know.
But actually, it's more Internet-user abbreviations.
You just type faster that way.
And it's a way of showing an action. Seems more effective to me:
"laughing out loud!"
"LOL!"
