How many Trek books has the writer written?

[Man of Steel]

Just for fun, let's play another game (since the other one's gone dead again). This one is pretty simple.



Someone on here will say the name of a Star Trek author (past or present) and guess how many he/she has written altogether. Anthologies, short stories, comics, novilizations can be counted.

As for the writers who post here, you can play but you can't guess your own works.


Your allowed 3 guesses per writer. If all guesses are wrong, you may not play agin until the next round (the new name is posted). The winner gets to choose the next name.

BONUS: If you know the years they wrote their perspective works.

So, ready? Good Luck..

I'll choose the first one..


Diane Carey....

Diane Carey....

Too many?

Diane Carey....

Too many?

QFT - but the real answer is 38 (including non-Trek and an essay)

Now let's try Greg Brodeur

 

[Christopher]

Brodeur is a hard one to call, since he's co-plotted many novels without credit (most or all of Carey's and the early ones by Dave Galanter). So it's probably a question of how you define his authorship.

 

[Stevil2001]

Brodeur never co-plotted a novel with Galanter without credit.

 

[Christopher]

Okay, then the number of Carey books plus the number of Galanter-Brodeur books.

How many books could a Trek writer write if a Trek writer could write books?

This could be fun.

How many books could a Trek writer write if a Trek writer could write books?

47

How many books could a Trek writer write if a Trek writer could write books?

47

Sheesh, everyone knows the answer is 42.

Losers.

But if you put an infinite number of Trek authors in front of an infinite number of typewriters, they would eventually bang out some smokin' Sex in the City tie-ins...

Only if they're desperate housewives.

no! that is the answer to everything, not to the question that was being asked.

What's a typewriter?

 

[Geoff]

^^^
The theory demands the use of a typewriter. If you put the writers in front of computers, they'd just surf porn sites all day.

 

[Dayton Ward]

Well, not all day.

I mean, there has to be time for downloading movies and old TV shows from torrent sites, right?

But...

BUt...

That's illegal!

Here's a "the new black" question. Is "47" the new "42"?
42's all Trekked up and has gained a 5..
I'm a loser.

 

[Amy Sisson]

no! that is the answer to everything, not to the question that was being asked.

But the question being asked is, by default, contained in "everything".

(I completely forget what this thread was about......)
