19 more fairly competent, but uninspired novelizations of original Star Trek episodes. More for reference than pleasure.
More classic Star Trek episodes turned into short stories. Famous episodes include The Tholian Web, Requiem for Methuselah, By Any Other Name, The Cloud Minders, Who Mourns for Adonais, and Elaan of Troyius. Like the Star Trek Reader II, the authors are not very well known, but this is still good Star Trek reading.
This was like Reader II, except it omnibized Star Treks 5, 6, and 7, which had the misfortune of mostly consisting of those bizarre and awful episodes classic Trek did in Season 3. (originally written January 2005)
