Peter David? Ted or Christopher? Any of them would do a great job. Or should JJ and company just do the novelization themselves? What's the concensus?

Why am I not in this movie??

If he wrote the book it would probably make for an interesting foreword.Chapter 1William Shatner. With the kind help of the Reeves-Stevens, of course!

Peter David and Christopher both have experience writing Trek, have either done an adaption? Does that make a difference?
Greg Cox has done a few adaptions so he might be a candidate as well.
Who is Ted?
Vonda McIntyre or David Gerrold would make a great novelization that might interest the general public as well.. not just the core fanbase.
Dave Bischoff.
Peter David has written about a bazillion movie novelizations including the Spider-Man movies, The Hulk (crappy Ang Lee version), Iron Man, and Return of the Swamp Thing.
JM Dillard did a good job turning STV:TFF into something decent.
Christopher Bennett (aka Christopher) or Keith DeCandido (aka KRAD) would be my preferences, although Martin & Mangels write some excellent TREK as well. As do several others.
I don't even know if those mentioned even would do screenplay adaptations. If not, I'll volunteer.

DeCandido wrote the adaptations of Resident Evil 2 & 3 (not sure about #1).
He would be a good choice.

Our own TG Theodore. And I forgot KRAD, who would do a great job as well, of course. If any of the authors pick up this thread, let us know what you would think about doing the novelization.
I didn't realize the "T" in TG Theodore was Ted.
I think the chances for this thread being seen by the authors would be higher if it was moved to the TrekLit Forum (or at least mentioned there).
It preety much depends on the storyline, if it's mainly an Action-movie, my favourite would be David Mack, if it's a more epic, character-driven story, the best one suited for it would certainly be David R. George III.
I vote for Austin P. Torney
