Star Trek: The Ghost Planet (1969)
The boldly going continued for Gold Key Comics in September 1969, when The Ghost Planet was unveiled to Star Trek fans. Dick Wood continues his writing travels with the Enterprise, and Alberto Giolitti supplies the art. I remember all of the issues so far. I had them collected in The Enterprise Logs, which I read…
Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Captain’s Honor (1989) – David and Daniel Dvorkin
I’m not quite sure how Sejanus made captain of a starship, especially one in Starfleet, and that is one of my biggest problems with the next book in the Star Trek: The Next Generation series from Simon & Schuster. Released back in 1989 the television series was about to launch its third season, but this…

Star Trek: Ghost-Walker (1991) – Barbara Hambly
Well, that’s three for three. The past few Trek novels have not wowed me, or even held my interest, though the Human Adventure definitely continues. This one shouldn’t have been such a surprise for me because I wasn’t a fan of her other Trek novel, Ishmael, and there’s still one more to come. We’ll see…
