Some people have recently mentioned that most of the
Star Trek novels are either bad or "simply not Star Trek".
I'm wondering if I'm alone ... for the most part I think
the novels, especially the Timescape Series [1..22], are
very good. Compared to the TV episodes, I think the ratio of
good to bad is higher. The depictions of Alien cultures and
customs are more detailed in the novels. The Star Trek
characters are generally more vivid, especially characters
like Uhura, Sulu, and Scotty. Any comments ??
