Children of Kings blurb?

^I agree. Virtually all Pike-era fiction seems to cluster around "The Cage" or before it. Vulcan's Glory was Spock's first mission under Pike. Alien Spotlight: Vulcans is early in Spock's time on the ship, apparently before Rigel VII and Talos. I think the DC Annual set in the Pike era was either just before or just after "The Cage," I forget which. Early Voyages gave us Rigel VII in issue 3 and a retelling of "The Cage" in issue 4. And Voyages of the Imagination's timeline places both Where Sea Meets Sky and "Conflicting Natures" (from Enterprise Logs) in the same year as "The Cage," though after it. It would be nice to have something set later than 2254.

Don't forget the Pike-era portion of The Rift, which is also set shortly after "The Cage."

Erm... I try not to think of it as "obsessive", so much as "completist".

So there's nothing about Pike's own early days? How he (presumably) took over from Robert April?

You see Pike's first days aboard Enterprise as XO under April in Crew, but that's the only one I can think of....

We see April handing the Enterprise over to Pike in Early Voyages #1-- though it's set in 2254, it has flashbacks to the very beginning of the ship's mission.

Burning Dreams covers pretty much Pike's whole life. But by "Pike-era," I meant the era in which Pike was captain of the Enterprise. I should've been clearer.
