You haven't heard of Gary Troup yet, but for Lost fans everywhere, he'll suddenly become quite the popular author come next spring. And it's unlikely you'll ever meet Mr. Troup, as not only is he dead, but he's fictional. Writers for the show will be working in a story of Gary Troup, a victim of Oceanic Flight 815 who had left behind a manuscript he'd been working on. Hyperion Books hopes the popularity of this fictional product placement will drive fans wild to see it published, so that's just what they're doing. The book, titled "Bad Twin", will be written by a "well known" mystery writer and made available sometime next spring.

So, does this mean the genetic mirror theory is real afterall? Naaah.
