Lines: 14 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.
