12 more novelizations of original Star Trek episodes, and also Blish's original Star Trek novel (the first, I believe), "Spock Must Die!", a somewhat interesting novel, but not written with a deep understanding of the characters. Kirk calling McCoy "Doc"?
The last of the collections of stories from the original Star Trek series. More classic episodes, including What are Little Girls Made Of? and the Squire of Gothos. Also includes a longer story Spock Must Die!. Most of the authors are not well known, with the exception of Gene Roddenberry and Robert Bloch.

After the war he became the science editor for the Pfizer pharmaceutical company. His first published story appeared in 1940, and his writing show more career progressed until he gave up his job to become a professional writer. From 1962 to 1968, he worked for the Tobacco Institute. Between 1967 and his death from lung cancer in 1975, Blish wrote authorized short story collections based upon the 1960s TV series Star Trek.
