    Bantam's Trek is an odd mix. Marshak and Culbreath's novels are thinly veiled K/S, and my least favourite; Death's Angel has the silliest aliens in Trek, although I enjoyed it a great deal; Vulcan! disappointed me; I liked The Starless World a great deal, mostly for the background on Uhura's father; Spock Must Die! was very enjoyable; Spock, Messiah! wasn't; Trek to Madworld is joined with Pocket's How Much for Just the Planet? in batshit craziness, although it's not nearly as good IMO; Perry's Planet, World Without End, Devil World, Planet of Judgement, Mudd's Angels, the New Voyages anthologies and The Galactic Whirlpool I have almost no memory of.

    Just finished Ishmael.
    One of the best Spock novels I have read. If not the best. I'll have to think about that.
    Shows his character to be very much a stranger in a strange land everywhere he goes.

    While reorganizing some books recently, I came across a few Bantam titles I bought a while back with the intention of getting a complete collection...

    Since there aren't that many titles to begin with, perhaps it's time I get the rest and start my own read-through. :)
