Read while recovering from a blow to the head. It was exactly my speed. Make of that what you will.

Star Trek 9, the only book after #3 to be finished in the same position as it's number, when reading the stories is order. Nothing too exciting here, it includes "That Which Survives" and "Obsession", two episodes I could remember absolutely nothing about before I re-watched them in my 2020 re-watch/re-read. They aren't any more memorable in written form. ( )

Blish's prefaces to these books went AWOL for a couple of volumes and the fans wrote to complain! I don't blame them as Blish is more rewarding than most authors when talking about his own books.

More fun with Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty et al. ( )

Good episode novelizations. Ayup. That's it. ( )

TV tie-in of various episodes from TOS season 2 - Return to Tomorrow, The Ultimate Computer, That Which Survives, Obsession, The Return Of The Archons and The Immunity Syndrome. Mildly ridiculous, light and entertaining, like all Trek episodes. ( )
