There is a .hack book I did not know that how many are there and what are they called.

Please try to use punctuation x.x; It's terribly hard to read what you are typing.

I think you're asking about the different .hack novels, and I can answer that.

So far, there is the .hack//AI Buster series, the .hack//ZERO series, and the .hack//Another Birth series. Both //ZERO and //Another Birth have only had their first release. //ZERO was released as a novel, //Another Birth had its first chapter in The World 2.

//AI Buster takes place during the beta of The World, 'Fragments', before //SIGN.

//ZERO takes place after the end of //SIGN

//Another Birth takes place during the games.

Hope that helps.

Just as another note, the books are only in Japanese. Not in English.

Unless someone goes through all the trouble of translating something for people's pleasure to read.
Which I have to tell is a pain to do.
I remember a friend asking me to translate a chapter in Patlabor book 6 and I found it almost impossible because of all the Japanese cultural references which she would not get or I didn't know how to explain.
I was frustrated to say none the least by the fifth page.

By that you mean... That they are not an adaption of the anime? That they are not the same quality? That they don't take place in the same universe?

Does it have the same story? Well, of course, they're .hack books, and there are .hack//SIGN characters in .hack//ZERO (well, at least, Tsukasa, Subaru, and Sora)... But they're different stories and are not adaptions of .hack//SIGN.

and there are .hack//SIGN characters in .hack//ZERO (well, at least, Tsukasa, Subaru, and Sora)

If //Zero takes place after the end of //Sign how can Sora be in it since

[spoiler]Morgana DDrains Sora and imprisions him in Skeiths staff?[/spoiler]

No rudenis intended just curious.

[spoiler]in vol.3 of the games, you free him from the staff. And he has a split personality! one wants to kill aura, and the other wants to save her.[/spoiler]

But are they like looking for the key of the twilight or trying to find a way out for tuskasa?

[spoiler]Wait.. I'm confused.. Sora is in //ZERO, correct? If so, how come he's running around with this split personality in //ZERO if he's trapped in Skeith's staff?[/spoiler]

Absolutely none of that. //AI buster takes place before anything else in .hack, and //ZERO takes place during the six months in-between //SIGN and the games.
