History
After the show was cancelled and a wrap up event was rejected, Brave New World was developed as a fan created animated movie. Two drafts of the script were completed, by that time it became clear that the film format didn't allow enough time for the story to be fully developed.

The project then became a animated series made up of ten thirty minute episodes. Once one first few scripts were completed the animation deal fell through and the project stopped development.

After a long time with no developments, the project restarted again, this time in the form of a novel. It was also decided that an expanded universe would be set up so that other fan stories could be written sharing the same continuity.

The volume was originally supposed to wrap up the story of the show's main characters, meaning that any future stories must include new characters or be set in the past. However this changed after the author heard plans and read the first chapter of volume 7: Revelations.

Ground Zero
Ground Zero was a planned anthology of short stories meant to be a companion to Brave New World, further explaining certain characters and the events that led to the destructive future. The collection was cancelled after reports that Heroes could be revived by Microsoft in belief that it would be more work that would possibly have to be thrown out of continuity or edited in the future.
