- V est un ensemble de séries télévisées américaines de science-fiction, constitué d'une première minisérie V du même titre en deux parties de 100 minutes environ, d'une seconde minisérie intitulée V, la Bataille finale (V : The Final Battle) en trois épisodes de 90 minutes, ainsi que d'une saison de 19 épisodes de 48 minutes, souvent nommée V : La série (V : The Series). La minisérie originelle (V : The Original Miniseries) a été créée, écrite et réalisée par Kenneth Johnson et diffusée les 1er et 2 mai 1983 sur le réseau NBC. Sa suite directe, La Bataille finale (filmée après le retrait de Kenneth Johnson du projet), a été diffusée du 6 au 8 mai 1984. À l'origine, La Bataille finale devait – comme son nom l'indique – mettre un terme à l'histoire de V. Devant le succès rencontré par cette suite, une série hebdomadaire fut alors commandée. En Belgique et au Luxembourg, les miniséries ont été diffusées pour la première fois en dix épisodes à partir du 23 janvier 1985 sur RTL Télévision. V : The Series fut diffusée, à la rentrée de septembre 1985 toujours sur RTL Télévision puis RTL TV jusqu'en 1993 puis aussi sur RTL-TVI dès septembre 1987 Club RTL dès février 1995 et Plug TV dès avril 2004.

- V is a science fiction franchise created by American writer, producer and director Kenneth Johnson about a genocidal invading alien race known as the "Visitors"—reptilian humanoids disguised as human beings—trying to take over Earth, and the human reaction to this, including the Resistance group attempting to stop them, while others collaborate with the aliens for power and personal wealth. The two-part television miniseries V aired in 1983, written and directed by Johnson. It had cost US$13 million to produce. It was followed in 1984 by a three-part miniseries, V: The Final Battle, and a nineteen-episode weekly television series, V (sometimes referred to as V: The Series) during the 1984–85 television season. ABC ran a remake series, produced by Warner Bros. Television, which ran for two seasons totalling 22 episodes from November 3, 2009, to March 15, 2011. In the original series, the title refers to the "V for Victory" sign. In the 1983 V miniseries, a group of children are shown spray painting generic graffiti over the Visitors' propaganda posters, but are then shown how to spray the V over the posters by Abraham Bernstein, a Holocaust survivor, who explains the meaning of the sign to them as he defaces the first poster. In the 2009 reboot of the series, however, V is used within the show as an abbreviation for the Visitors. A number of novels, comic books, video games and other media have been spun off from the franchise. Johnson's novel V: The Second Generation, an alternative sequel to the first miniseries which disregards V: The Final Battle and V: The Series because of his non-involvement with them, was released on February 5, 2008. Johnson stated he was in negotiations for a TV adaptation of his sequel novel, but Warner Bros. opted to do the 2009 remake series instead. (en)

The commander, Roger, and his subordinates, Angela and Jennifer, arrive and after the Visitors are revealed, the resistance group named White Christmas is formed to combat them. They now have to face Roger's devious plan: to surpass the human food storage by emptying one of New York's neighborhoods next to their chemical plants. (en)
- Set during the unrecorded year between the end of "The Final Battle" and "Liberation day", The Visitors, hidden in the everglade swamps, by hologram projection, kidnap human scientists to unwittingly aid them in their plan to create a human-reptilian hybrid to wipe out the resistance. Note: This novel was written before the writers guide was available, and so contradicts the TV series in some points. (en)
- The resistance of the East Coast, and the free zone, are in danger, if Project Icewind, part one of a new two pronged scheme by Diana to first radically alter the Earth's weather, and then contaminate our oil reserves with a new bacteria, rendering it both useless as a fuel and dangerous to humans too, is put into action. (en)
- The Resistance works on a new version of the red dust that lives in seaweed and thus protects the planet's water, while also trying to coax a strain to live in land-based vegetation; Diana works on a defoliant that will destroy the seaweed. Marjorie Donovan returns. (en)
- While Donovan pursues and recaptures Diana, the LA resistance tries to revive those stored on the mothership after capturing it in the events of the first book. However they are faced with the converted government, and several of the "sixth column", surviving Visitors on board the mothership who are still loyal to Diana, who is imprisoned on board after her capture. (en)
- Another book taking place during the unrecorded year, Tomoko Jones is revived to become the consort of the fearsome Fieh Chan, Visitor Commander of Tokyo. Meanwhile, her husband finds a plot to capture the Earth's martial arts masters for conversion. (en)
- The Texas resistance has been weakened by Commander Garth and his batch of Shocktroopers. Set after the TV episode "Visitors Choice". (en)
- Twenty years after the original miniseries, the Visitors are in de facto control of Earth, and life across the planet is analogous to living under the Nazis in occupied Paris. In response to the message sent at the end of the original miniseries, the Resistance–which has been slowly losing ground for years, especially after Diana's "Great Purge"–is contacted by another alien race, the insect-like Zedti. However, their actions trigger suspicions among the human fighters. The novel ends on a note of uncertainty, with the fate of the world seemingly in the hands of The Zedti. (en)
- The Visitors initiate a fourth invasion in Oregon. (en)
- Crispin's adaptation of the original miniseries without any of the chapters that originally covered The Final Battle. In their place is a short work by Johnson linking this new version of the book to The Second Generation. (en)
- The Jones family , enlisted by Juliet Parrish, travel to Washington, DC to uncover the plans of a Visitor spy who has a new Visitor-created metal alloy, Papinium, which is impervious to the Red dust, which he is using to coat secret tunnels into the free zone with, thus freeing up those areas to renewed Visitor invasion. (en)
- Great Britain is to become the Visitor's conquest and the launching pad for them to conquer the entire Earth. (en)
- A human scientist tries to test a toxin that he developed, and that could help decimate the Visitors. Tipped off by a human collaborator, the Visitors arrive in New England, desperate to destroy this new threat to their renewed invasion of Earth. The local Resistance is then picked off, and a new group of resistance fighters ends up being formed. (en)
- A Visitor experiment in breeding, if successful, will ravage the Eastern Coast Seaboards . The experiment is based on the crivit species, which exists in the Visitor's home planet. (en)
- The first novel to be actually set during the weekly series, Lydia and Diana try to wrestle power from each other while trying to get the resistance out of the way. The resistance find that there might be collaborators in their group. (en)
- In Chicago, the Visitors' grip on the Earth has been freed with the release of the Red Dust, the bacteria discovered in the digestive tract of Robin Maxwell's hybrid children, which killed the more reptilian twin. Cultured and dried, and dispersed via hot air balloons across the world by the resistance, it causes near-instant death to Visitors, but can also cause mutation, sterility and ultimately, death, to all Earth life in excessive amounts. Prior to this event, High Captain Gerald manages to finally storm the resistance, but with little success, as they were currently liberating the Chicago Art Museum, the Visitors' ground base. Seconds before the commander of the Chicago Mothership, Alicia, calls him back for withdrawal , he is able to distribute anti-toxin from the resistance base into his shock troopers. Though Alicia is frustrated at her subordinate, she gives him a chance to redeem himself, which Gerald jumps at, as unknowingly to Alicia, Gerald is a double agent. Her plan is to convert the resistance, and "unlock the key" to regaining Chicago. (en)
- An adaptation of the original miniseries, as well as The Final Battle. There are some differences between the novel and the televised miniseries, due to the author working from a different script to the televised version, and not being made aware of changes made to said script, including the deaths of several characters who are still alive in the televised version. This includes Chris Farber, leading to confusion about his return in V: The Series, also different in this novelisation is the manner in which Elizabeth a.k.a. The Starchild deals with the doomsday weapon. (en)
- Lewis is a Natural, a Visitor who wants to live in peace with the humans in Freeport, a city without red dust. But humans in Freeport are in danger of being controlled by the Visitors, through a local TV station. (en)
