James Blish produced at least 12 volumes of episode novelization collections for fans devastated by the cancellation of the series. Glad to see you around!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-35738662405222030302020-01-29T23:44:57.140-08:002020-01-29T23:44:57.140-08:00Hallo, Hallo Jean,
*waves! I realise its been hal...Hallo, Hallo Jean,<br /><br />*waves! I realise its been half an age since I've been able to visit with you on your lovely blog; I credit my health afflictions & my chronic migraines these past few years to result in less visits. I've been regrouping this January to get into a rhythm of visiting the book bloggers whose content I appreciate and enjoy to read. I've also had my eye on the Vintage SciFi reading challenge for *years!* but with most of my Classical SF library *packed!* - without a way to access it, I've just been pushing it off til 'another year'. Sadly, its nearly 7 years on and I think next year I ought to just borrow some audiobooks via the library or see if any are avail via Scribd! Oyy.<br /><br />This stood out to me as recently Mum, Dad and I have become wickedly excited about <i> Picard</i> -- we switched from Frndly (for Hallmark Channel movies - which we dearly binged in January for Christmas!) to CBS All Access. Without even realising we were joining three days post-premeire! Who knew!? The reason I'm bringing this up is because we seriously *loved!* what they did with the show - I'm thinking of writing up a spontaneous #BookishNotBookish post about it tomorrow, er, today? (ie. Thursday) --- as they totally merged our love of ST: TNG with the classical canon of Roddenberry's vision into this whole new dynamical universe of Trek. We previously avoided ANY release by Abrams and avoided Discovery, too. This felt like Trek had come home for those who were old school Roddenberry fans and we finally get to 'continue' the story!!<br /><br />--<br /><br />Thus, Trek is on my mind, and this post tipped my curiousity! <br /><br />They fictionalised the original Trek? I only knew about the novealisations for TNG - as I have <i> Imazadi</i> by Peter David but I hadn't thought to look further back for the Original! <br /><br />Of the stories you've listed I think the ones I'd have gravitated towards would be the two Lazaruses - as that just seemed like an intellectual mystery to sort through and any story with Spock at the centre (or Sarek) was a favourite of mine!!<br /><br />Loved reading your takeaways and what pulled you in and out of the stories! I love anthologies for this reason myself - you get to sample different styles and voices or in this case revisit the story-lines of Classic Trek in a novelisation kind of way!<br /><br />I agree with you on Book Bingo Cards (which is my focus this New Year!) -- the goal isn't really the 'bingos' but the journey you take with the stories themselves!<br /><br />Top Cheers!<br /><br />Happy readings!Joriehttp://jorielovesastory.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-1872647749494691862020-01-29T10:40:40.080-08:002020-01-29T10:40:40.080-08:00I thought there were as many of 50 of these.
