The Complete - Star Trek - TOS - Pocket Books - The Timescape Years - Part 1 - STTMP + Beyond! 

Thanks Chris, yes, I reckon that's particularly scarce. That Page 97 though, I shouldn't laugh but....🙂🖖

@@JulesBurt 🤣🤣

🙂🖖

Thanks Alvin, I still need to research these before filming though🖖

Yeah, I would think if you were almost positive about something you would check to make sure about it. I know you work hard on these videos. And the quality shows it. I be glad when you have a dedicated filming site set up so you won't have to set up everything again and again. 👍😊

Thanks Alvin, me too. I'd still like to get it built this year if possible 👍

Great stuff, glad you enjoyed this one 🖖

Thanks buddy! I agree the Pocket Books are definitely better reads today and nowhere near as funky as some of those 70's titles. Another vote for Roddenberry, thanks.

For sure Ian, it's a great one. 🖖

Thanks Sylvan, one vote for Gene then! Chekhov's Enterprise is superb 🙂

Thanks so much. The latest episode now completed, released in a couple of weeks.

Thanks Brandon, working on the latest part today actually, enjoy 🖖

I couldn't agree more! It's still a really fantastic film and I totally love it. 🖖

And let's not forget Target books as well, Malcom Hulke and Terence Dicks !

Ah yes, thanks Kevin, these are great. I have done videos on the Target Books on here, a bit amateurish compared to recent videos though.🙂

I get adverts from Big Finish because I take up every freebie they send - am pretty sure I saw some old Target style cover lettering on one of their recent ones !

As for Alan Dean Foster : Splinter of the Mind's Eye! Which would have been the alternate follow up to Star Wars New Hope if it hadn't turned out to be such a hit. It introduced the idea of controlling the Force through crystals - the name Kaiburr crystal (in the story Luke had to lift it with both hands) survived as the crystal in lightsabers, and the power source for Death Star superlasers !

He is a great author and Splinter was excellent!

I feel they get better as the series progresses. The Bantam ones certainly had a particular charm about them though🙂

Right, fantastic information, thanks for sharing it. Agree on all points there. Amazing to think he wrote so many movie adaptations. 👍🖖

@@JulesBurt Let's look at Alan Dean Foster's literary output from 1975 until 1983 to get a more precise count of how many books he was writing 4 years BEFORE 1979 and 4 years AFTER 1979. The year 1979 will be included in this count. In 1975, Foster wrote 4 books and 1 short story. In 1976, Foster wrote 4 books and 3 short stories. In 1977, Foster wrote 3 books and 1 short story. In 1978, Foster wrote 2 books and 2 short stories. In 1979, Foster wrote 3 books and 2 short stores. In 1980, Foster wrote 1 book and 0 short stories. In 1981, Foster wrote 3 books and 2 short stories. In 1982, Foster wrote 1 book and 4 short stories. In 1983, Foster wrote 4 books and 1 short story. The key years here are 1978, 1979, and 1980. Foster wrote 1 less book in 1978 than 1979- the year the novelization to Star Trek: The Motion Picture came out. This would seem to indicate that his literary output was decreasing. I believe this decrease in 1978 to be the result of his having to rewrite the opening chapters of Star Wars: Splinter Of The Mind's Eye. A rewrite could have caused a delay in his number of books written which was down 1 book from 1977. The year 1979 saw a 1 book increase from 1978 with the same number of short stories (2) being written as the year before. Foster has said that he writes to finance his world travels. Perhaps traveling was the cause of his small number of books and short stories produced in 1980. In 1975, four years BEFORE the novelization to Star Trek: The Motion Picture was written, Foster wrote 4 books and 1 short story. In 1983, four years AFTER the novelization to Star Trek: The Motion Picture was written, Foster wrote 4 books and 1 short story. Looking at the amount of books Foster wrote per year, Foster could have written the novelization to Star Trek: The Motion Picture and still maintained his high output of books and short stories per year. From my knowledge, Gene Roddenberry never "wrote" another novel. Alan Dean Foster wrote a very high number of novels before and after the novelization to Star Trek: The Motion Picture was "written" by Roddenberry. Regarding Alan Dean Foster possibly writing the novelization to Star Trek: The Motion Picture, based on his literary output the evidence is pretty strong that he wrote it.

Thanks for all that information! I think you've settled the matter once and for all🖖

Chain of attack has bern made into a fan movie here on THEMtube. The sequel the Final Nexus also a favourite. How can one resist such epic tales like traveling through DeSitter space and discovering that a new universe is being impinged upon our own and you get to meet its gods before they even fully exist? All that and a glass spider. K'T'l'k...... As she is known.The Wounded sky deals with the afftereffects of a new instaneous form of transport. Seems turning the universe inside out and back again is more than the fabric of reality can bear. Now that's a story that deserves a feature film, written by Diane Duane.

Prometheus design has sequels and if I could afford it and find time to read them then many more worth owning. BTW I owned a pocket Spiderman novel, Man-mountain Marko thw main baddy. Just found your content. Will look up more. Part 1/2. The ad roll messed up my message while typing. Apologies. PS: subbed.

The Canadian editions are slightly different, but still really nice🖖

Sounds awesome 👍

Cool, love the Pocket comic book novels.

Right, I never knew.

Thanks, I have started the next video which will see these continue through Wrath of Khan and beyond, then I'll take a look at another angle of the novels, probably the early non-fiction books.

Thanks Gary, a Top Ten would be great, there's so many I've still to read though!🙂

Not that I'm aware of but I'm sure you could find a list of those episodes online.

For sure!🙂

This was available 2 weeks ago to my Patreon fans. They get early access to most videos🙂
