Are you suggesting a book or a punishment?

it would probably make a good federation torture technique. read shatner novels to the victim. how many pages can you take?

if u think shatner is a shitty actor, imagine how shit he is as a creator/cowriter.

you can guess what happens in his novels.

'Ego trip' is the most common description I see, reviving Kirk in the 24th century and making him a Mary Sue character.

One person even said the Kirk in them makes Chuck Norris look like Tinkerbell, which probably isn't good considering that meme of his.

yeah, and the story is like something a 13 year old fan would come up with.

instead of just rewriting the canon bits he didnt like (which would show balls) he tries to work around kirk's canon death. so he has the romulans and borg join forces to resurrect kirk from his grave after generations. and they want to use him in their evil plan to kill jean luc picard....

yeah, it's shitner's way of getting involved in the kirk v picard war.

not only was it enough for them to revive kirk, they had to try whack picard too. so kirk could be the undisputed hero of the galaxy.

I like the Vanguard series...
Especially for being TOS and involving Tholians

Well after looking around in my basement I found more star trek stuff  , a bunch of noncanon star trek comics(most of them are good like the "Worst of Both Worlds" but 1 or 2 are a little strange) and a star fleet technical manual that I can barely understand. I didn't know there were so many(good) star trek books out there thanks for recomending.

Vanguard is also a very good series, as Selor Kiith recommended.

I'd avoid a book called 'Before Dishonour' in the TNG relaunch though.....it involves a Borg cube eating Pluto. 'Nuff said.

eating pluto? dare i ask what that means

I've heard about that, a Cube that absorbs fleets and objects instead of assimilating them. From what I heard, the Tactical Fusion Cube is a small-fry by comparison.

Apparently a Starfleet officer made a comment that they couldn't debate Plutos planet status anymore.

and i thought fusion cubes were stupid.

Wow, I thought my opinion of Shatner couldn't get much worse. Shocker.

Most stupid idea ever. The Borg wish to collect knowledge and lead all lifeforms to perfection (their twisted idea of perfection, at least). This idiotic story conflicts with everything they believe in. I mean, wtf, they're the Borg, not f**king Bionts!
