Picked up a flat of Star Trek Books from a local auction the other day, Really only because I needed Star Trek Log Two to complete my "Log" collection from Alan Dean Foster, but also needed Star Trek 3 from James Blish
Most of these are TOS/Movie Era books, most in good or better condition - but you can really tell which ones have been read/re-read.
There are 25 books, that I picked up for $10.00 so not too bad of a deal.

„Man kann nicht mit einer Welt leben, in der man nur nimmt, wenn es einem selbst passt, sonst stirbt am Ende die Welt – und man selbst mit ihr."

@cjrando @maddiefuzz eh. I wouldn't dare. I actually read the Alan Dean Foster novelization before I saw the movie, so if anyone was to write a sequel, it would have to be #AlanDeanFoster

@D_J_Nathanson @Colarusso @geekdad As a kid I was a big fan of the #AlanDeanFoster tie-in novel. How has the movie aged?

CW: Long thread/12
The "curse of bigness" is real, but who gets cursed is a matter of power, and big companies have a *lot* more power.
The chaos, in other words, is a feature and not a bug. It provides cover for contract-violating conduct, up to and including wage-theft. Remember when Disney/Marvel stole money from beloved science fiction giant #AlanDeanFoster, whose original #StarWars novelization was hugely influential on #GeorgeLucas, who changed the movie to match Foster's ideas?

I used to have all these, and my Log Two was autographed by #AlanDeanFoster. Sadly, my collection of books was destroyed a number of years ago 😭
