TV Trek producers' opinions of the post-series novels?

[Greg Cox]

To be fair, one can get invested in characters and series after writing thousands of words about them.

I didn't novelize the new UNDERWORLD movie, but, after writing four books about those characters, there was no way I wasn't going to see the new movie and find out what was up with Selene and company . . . .

That's kind of sad. A soulless production line of television. Anything that I'd spent years on, shaping the characters and stories and world I'd keep at least the vaguest interest in what others did with them afterwards.

Do you really think Rick Berman or Jeri Taylor would read ST novels for pleasure?

If one of the authors was a close friend, and sent them a freebie MMPB, maaaaaybe they'd take a look.

If they knew they were about to be asked a question about ST novels in an interview, they'd be more likely to take a quick look at Memory Beta, or defer the question to Ed S. at Pocket/Gallery.

So...I'm guessing, then, that none "of Trek's TV producers and showrunners [have] gone on record with their opinions of the direction the post-series novels have taken?"
