That said, I like the episode as it aired, and am fine w/ the adaptation by James Blish (anyone know if those are available as ebooks?) |
They're not, no. None of the books published by Bantam between 1967 and 1981 are available as eBooks and the Star Trek Logs by Alan Dean Foster from Del Rey/Ballantine are also out of circulation.
Mind you, over the course of about forty years I think they were reprinted often enough for everyone who wants them to have at least three secondhand copies of each and still have change left over to buy a pet Tribble!
And as far as recommendations go, I've found the recent Picard novels to be generally excellent. The second one with Troi and Riker was a slight letdown, but the two by Una McCormack (The Last Best Hope / Second Self) and John Jackson Miller's Rogue Elements are well worth checking out. The latter's a prequel with Rios doing a fine Han Solo impersonation.
Peter David's always a good name to look out for on older Next Generation titles and having re-read John M Ford's How Much For Just the Planet? a few weeks back, I can confirm that it's one you won't forget!
