Writing Game Narrative Books

I have a friend of a friend who's been commissioned to write a little game for internal use at a big company. But for some reason it's going to be an RPG-esque thing with a lot of dialogue and story, and this person would like a bit more info on how to write for games, since that hasn't been a huge part of games they've designed so far.
So long story short, does anyone know a good book or online resource that teaches game narrative craft or even theory? I'm sure they exist (I've seen em on Amazon) but I wanted to know if anyone knew a specific good one.

and
This.
EDIT: Actually, I see they're both endorsed by the IGDA Writing special interest group, so that's good enough for me. Thanks!
yeah, I haven't read them yet
but the recommendation is what's pushing me to buy them for my friend's birthday
