And we boldy, well, sadly in this case, blandly go, with the next story in the Star Trek non-canon Pocket Book universe. And also, don’t let the cover fool you, this one takes place before The Motion Picture, somewhere during the original five year mission. Now, to be clear, this one could have been…

Star Trek: The Prometheus Design (1982) – Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath
Sigh. There are some books that just shouldn’t be read, or to be really proactive, shouldn’t be written. I don’t know who gave Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath the go-ahead on this one, but it’s obvious that they didn’t read the pair’s previous efforts when they wrote a couple of Trek books for Bantam. Set…
Star Trek: The Covenant of the Crown (1981) – Howard Weinstein
It’s time to continue going boldy with the next installment in the Pocket Books non-canon Star Trek series. The next novel in the collection is The Covenant of the Crown. It’s special because its author, Howard Weinstein also wrote an episode of the Star Trek: Animated Series, The Pirates of Orion. This novel joins…
Star Trek: The Klingon Gambit (1981) – Robert E. Vardeman
It’s time for another journey where no one has gone before, with another non-canon adventure with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise. Though written before the previous novel, The Entropy Effect was released first, which is probably a good thing, because this one just didn’t feel like it was executed properly. It is a…
Star Trek: The Entropy Effect (1981) – Vonda N. McIntyre
It’s time to continue exploring the non-canon adventures of the crew of the starship Enterprise. This is going to be fun, as some of these I haven’t read since I was a kid (reading them as they were published) and some I have never read. So going in order of publication, the first book…
Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) – Gene Roddenberry
I love my classic Trek, and since they aren’t making anymore of them, I decided that perhaps I’d check in with the Pocket Book series, and read, or in some cases, re-read some of these non-canon adventures of Kirk and Company. Pocket Books picked up the rights for Star Trek novels in 1979, with…

Issues Vol. 16
It’s that time of the week again, and Kirk had everything set aside for me, and ready to go, including the new Star Wars (!!!) title, Shattered Empire. So, as always, I was quite happy to pop into what has fast become my favorite comic stop, West End Comics. So let’s dig in and see…

Kirk is back from his holidays and had tons for me to catch up on and a few new titles to explore this week at West End Comics! He also had two more Orphan Black Funko figures for me, Cosima and Sarah have joined Helena and Alison…. just waiting on the double dose of Rachel….

Up first is Lilacs, Mr. Maxwell, which aired 28 April, 1982, and was written and directed by Bill Maxwell himself, Robert Culp! While Bill and Ralph (William…
