Star Trek: Perry's Planet by Jack Haldeman II (1980)

T'Pau's death (in SW) was also reversed as a mere rumour in books set much later.

Ahhh, yes, that phenomenon when multiple people misremember a famous Vulcan's death. The M'Benga Effect, I believe it's called.

However, TWS and ME,MA are explicitly pre-TMP in the ranks of Sulu and Uhura (though they do promote Chekov to lieutenant). ME,MA and TRW were re-edited upon their re-release in The Bloodwing Voyages to conform them to a post-TMP setting.

Swordhunt was similarly pre-TMP in its original form. However, an incomplete job was done with the edits to it and My Enemy, My Ally. The omnibus left in references to the TOS uniform colors, lines implying the Enterprise is pre-refit, and Chekov at the navigator's post.

There's no real way to fit the Duane novels into the modern timeline, because it did not exist when they were written.

Even if you were just trying to fit them in with just the canon, there's issues. Spock's World is explicitly post-TMP, but still has Chekov as the navigator.

Post-TMP is probably the least bad fit for everything, though.

Swordhunt was similarly pre-TMP in its original form.

Which made no sense, because it was set after the explicitly post-TMP Spock's World.

Post-TMP is probably the least bad fit for everything, though.

I think it's a mistake even to try to "fit" them into a chronological scheme that didn't exist when they were written. They should be allowed to stand as they were, representing their own alternative take on Trek continuity and chronology.
