--------------------------- I'll say this, then let it rest: I wasn't complaining about people not responding; I respond to very few posts on the list. So, read a post and respond if you want . . . or not. But if you respond, answer the fricking questions--if the topic is not of interest--start a new one. There, I'm done. To answer your question above, there have been film- and TV-based books worth reading, though when you consider the sheer number of them, the worthwhile list is a very low percentage, IMO. There were a couple of Trek books I enjoyed, but I have tired of them. I don't recall the titles but they dealt with events of Kirk after his "death" in Star Trek: Generations. (Hint: he didn't really die in the "book" universe) My favorite Media tie-in was the first Star Wars trilogy about event immediately after "Return of th Jedi" by Timothy Zahn. Though Lucas says he won't make episodes VII-IX, Zahn's books would be worthy candidates to be made into Star Wars movies, IMO. Anyway, I'll probably order the B5 books. I've got a couple of long flight to the States and back coming up and those will help pass 13 hours.
