This might be why I'm thinking that Dillard mentions it in the ST V novelization. I suppose I could go look to see if I can find it . . . or, I can just wait three years until we get to that novelization!

If I remember right, J.M. Dillard also mentions that Sulu is still waiting to take command of Excelsior in the novelization of Star Trek V. Although we've also got someone else commanding it in ST III and no mention of Sulu's promotion in that film.

I'm a little late to the party, but I'm glad to see this is happening. Hopefully an annual reading of a Trek movie novelization will become a tradition. So far, I don't think I have much to add to what's already been said. I'm enjoying McIntyre's work, and find it a nice blend of what's in the...

Not many.

Once Upon a Stardate sounds like a wacky idea, but if it's done well, it could be quite fun and interesting. I guess we'll find out next summer.

As I said, it's to close to the original for me. Your mileage may vary.

We only see Marla once canonically. Maybe her actions in "Space Seed" are the actions that are out of character. I could see her as becoming enamored with Khan because of what she knew of him from her own research. Thinking of Khan as long dead, she may have nurtured some idealized or...

I watched it a second time with my wife last night. Although I didn't tell her anything about the episode ahead of time, as soon as it ended she said, "I feel like I've seen that story before." I was surprised how much I enjoyed the episode despite knowing how it would end. I think that's a...

Just finished watching this one, and I've got very mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, this feels very like a good episode of TOS made in the 2020s rather than the 1960s, which is exactly what I want most from SNW. On the other hand, it is largely derivative of TOS episodes, especially...

Okay, this gives me an idea. It's really more a Future of Trek thought, but I'm going to just drop it here: What about an anthology-style series set between the end of the five-year mission and TMP? One week we could see Kirk dealing with some problem as an admiral and check in on his...

Hawai'i got nuked off the map during WWIII and Vermont seceded from the US and became a Canadian province in 2040. Continuity repaired!

Mostly I haven't reread any Star Trek novels since about 1985. The Entropy Effect is one of the very few exceptions. I've probably reread it four or five times over the years and I'm sure I'll read it again one of these days.

I'd be happy to let the TOS era stand with what we've got - the hundred or so episodes (including TAS), the six movies and the Generations prologue. If they really must do TOS, I'd prefer to see them do something set in one of the "unseen" time periods - the end of the five-year mission and its...

Thanks for starting this thread! I don't usually follow the "What are You Reading?" thread, so I hadn't heard about this book, but it sounds like it's right up my alley. I'll have to check it out.

I'll second the recommendation for at least reading some of the early relaunch novels. I've been thinking about rereading some of them myself!

I hope it's okay to make one more post on this subject, given that I'm the one who unintentionally set the whole thing off. My remark really was intended as a tongue-in-cheek statement of my own preference. Perhaps we need a tongue-in-cheek emoji! My first statement was directed at AntonyF...

I think listening to it as an audiobook might be a factor, so I hope you'll give reading it a shot. Just my opinion: Books are meant to be read, not listened to! As for the book itself, I thought it was great. As someone who loved the DS9 relaunch (or at least the first phases of it), it's a...

Vendetta Q-in-Law (probably the funniest Star Trek novel I've ever read, without ever feeling "not Star Trekky") Imzadi (one of the early TNG hardcovers that really lived up to the expectations that the hardcovers would tell bigger, more consequential stories)

Wasn't that pretty much shunted aside from the get-go, with DeForest Kelley's appearance in "Encounter at Farpoint" and then "The Naked Now" being a sequel to "The Naked Time" from TOS?

I'm with you on this, but, as Christopher noted, that's not gonna happen. With regards to the differing bits of info about Khan and other aspects of late twentieth, early twenty-first century history, I find the Temporal Cold War to be useful. (Even though I really disliked a lot of that...
