The numbered books are a lot of fun when you realize they were essentially standalone episodes of the show. The writers were forbidden from making any changes to continuity or doing anything that could affect the show's canon. I have all the numbered TNG books and most of the non-numbered, and still love most of the numbered.
True. It's a matter of sifting through some garbage to find the gold.
I like the old numbered books. It was back before they had too much canon to work around, and therefore I believe allowed more creativity.
@@GrognardPiper Very true.
@@soundandfury2680 I like to mine those for ideas when I’m running Star Trek Adventures
I think my favorite book is The Romulan Way by Diane Duane. Sarek, Prime Directive, and Imzadi are also great, though for Sarek you should have some familiarity with TWOK and TUC. I have read over 20 books, am expecting 6 to arrive today, and expecting another 7 soon. I will then have 55. Not a bad start. For the record, Diane Duane cowrote the TNG episode that introduced the Traveller.
Never got that crossover paperback were Picard met the X-Men.
I could never bring myself to read that one! Thanks for watching!
I read the first 2 Shatnerverse novels. The Shatnerverse is nuts.
@@dustinneely The Return is great. I love that book. Each one seems to be a little worse until they turn into total schlock.
@@soundandfury2680 sometimes total schlock can be fun.
@@dustinneely True. Very true.
Batman 89. Wicker People
fotonovel #2 is under valued if you're a true collector. I will ask this question? What is James Kirks middle initial? Your answer is in this fotonovel. Oh just for your info IT IS NOT " T " it was changed after this ONE episode.
William Shatner: i dont know what their doing. I dont sound like thzt.😮😮😮
Thanks for watching!
You can never have too many Star Trek books
I actually love the old Bantam Star trek books. They are SO bad, they've crossed over into hilarious and super fun. I wish there more of them!
I can relate I donated a couple hundred books to the library to inspire the next generation 😊
Thanks for watching!
What you guys consider ‘bad’ covers, I consider really cool…I guess I just enjoy corny pulp things.
Just found your channel. Love this video as I love Trek. Love the Kraftwerk-like theme to the channel too. Great inclusion of the Wilhelm scream too.
It's all meant to be in good fun. Thanks for watching.
So many of yours had. I have 95 of them!
Sweet! Thanks for subscribing.
mary sue was in TOS books Dreadnaught and Battle Stations
Thanks for the input! I haven't read those 2 yet. Thanks for watching.
Holy cow that's way too many Star Trek books. Makes sense that Star Trek is an expansive universe. :)
"Spock Messiah" that looks like an interesting novel.
@@Bookspine5 Thanks for watching!
Damn what a collection! That’s insane and cool. Can I ask a question? Is there a Star Trek novel you read and thought “that’s awful and good at the same time”? Not William Shatner ones. (I’m sorry for any mistakes, eng is not my first language)
Thanks for the comment. My experience is that the books are either good or bad with not much in-between. However, some of the books are good but have embarrassingly bad covers!
@@soundandfury2680 thank you for the answer! :)
@@victoriak1675 No problem! :)
Reading the DS9 numbered series and love them
Sweet! Thanks for watching!
