Not even titles. I was enthralled with the original run, but not so much what came after. Picad and Data was pretty good -- saw some of those..

Just never had the desire. Nor Star Wars or Twilight Zone or....
Just run across too many cheesy novelizations of copyrighted series in my time. I avoid them like the plague. |

_Spock Must Die_ is quite a good book. A pretty quick read too... I think it's a Novella. I think it is OOP though. I don't see it as an ebook.

Actually, it's pretty miserable. Lots of errors/mischaracterizations. I did read Spock Must Die and the plot is not bad, but what goes on around the plot is weak and not all that good.

You are not alone...I loved the various series, movies but have never read a single ST book...and the same for Star Wars, though I have d/l'd the free Kindle novels on Amazon so I have either 3 or 4 in one sub-series which I have no clue of exactly what the sub-series is names though.

One BIG thing that I like about the SW books over ST, is that major characters have died over the past 10 years (only one from the movies, but 3 others from the Expanded Universe and close to those in the Movies). |
