During the years since 1966 I have also bought and sold multiple Star Trek comics by different publishers, including Gold Key, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, etc.

However I never really knew of the vast array of Star Trek Novels that were out there until obtaining this book!

The book is 'galactic' in size, because it truly is a resource on all of the Star Trek Novels up to 2006 when this book was first published.

My wife Tina thinks I'm a big fan of Star Trek, as I've re-watched the Star Trek Films with her, and we both are looking forward to the upcoming film.

However, it would take a Really Big Fan(atic) to have read all of the novels listed in this book!!

The author, Jeff Ayers, has the novels well organized into sections. The title, author, and a photo of the cover are first listed. Then a brief synopsis of what the novel covered. Plus, and this is a great insight for a fan, the thoughts of the novel's author at the time of publication!

I am recommending this book for Star Trek fans, no matter what level of fan(atic) you are... beginner, intermediate, or advanced!

At first look it is a little daunting to attempt to read the book, but this resource would be helpful to guide the reader into how the novels came about, what different novels there are for each TV show series, and what original fiction is out there for Trek fans.

There is so much continuity in the Star Trek Universe, that it can be overwhelming. This book is a great resource to at least figure out the novels that have printed.
