Shatnerverse

IIRC, in The Return, the nanites were a plot point later in the book, as they effectively were killing him from the inside out, or something like that.

They were removed when he was whisked off to wherever he ended up in Avenger.
 
At the end of The Return, Kirk threw the switch, essentially 'destroying' the Borg Homeworld, and was caught in a massive transwarp transporter or something like that, and ended up on a Borg garbage world. There he met people referred to as 'Hugh', and they were able to clear the nanites out of Kirk.

But Dayton, I thought you would have been more concerned with his brains. LOL!!!!
 
Hmmm, I didn't like the Shatnerverse initially, but since the latest 'official' books (no, I refuse to think of them as canon because in the next movie after the upcoming it sh...*cough*could all be undone:evil:) I really like them! Kirk is quite entertaining in these books, it's like a good 'popcorn movie*, jump in and relax! And I think, really rather surprinsingly for me, that Shatner caught the essence of the main characters quite well...some over the top plot points not considered.
At least Shatner doesn't kill good people on random and totally pointless 'because the story demands it' :devil:;)
 
I loved these books, the earlier ones were my favorites but I've read the whole series. They are fun, geeky in a way and keep the best characters together putting them in the tightest spots. I hope the young Kirk story continues whether outside of Canon or not.

Well, there's no reason why you should think of the books as canon, because no book is ever part of the canon. The canon, by definition, is the original body of work, the TV/film franchise, as opposed to derivative works such as tie-in books and comics. There's no need to "refuse" to use a definition that nobody is asking you to use anyway.

I think you're referring to the main novel continuity, not the canon.
