Starfleet Corps of Engineers

The science fiction franchise Star Trek has been adapted into published novels, novelizations, and short story collections since 1968. Three main companies have published Star Trek fiction: Bantam Books (from 1967 to 1981), Ballantine Books (from 1974 to 1978), and, since 1979, Pocket Books.

Based on the original Star Trek TV series:

The first eleven releases from Bantam Books were adaptations of original series episodes written by James Blish and J. A. Lawrence. The pair also contributed the original works Spock Must Die! and Mudd's Angels.

Bantam editions were reprinted by UK publishers Corgi, and again by Titan Books.

Alan Dean Foster edited a series of adaptations based on episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series. The series included new story elements, creating a consistent narrative across all volumes. The series was collected in several omnibus editions published by Del Rey Books, and Pocket Books in UK and Australia.

Included as part of "Which Way Books" gamebook series from Archway, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. Only two of the 24 volumes in the series were based on Star Trek.

The first Pocket Books edition, the novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, was released before the Bantam Books original novel releases concluded. Books were numbered from 1979 to 2002, although several film novelizations and a number of hardback releases were not numbered. Since then the books have not been numbered. Several of the releases were later republished as part of an omnibus edition, such as The Yesterday Saga, Worlds Apart and Rihannsu.
