Hey Luke! I've got suggestions for good Kirk-era novels, but unfortunately none of them fit the "regular episode" mold. They all are "events" or flashbacks.
- "Strangers from the Sky" -- My top recommendation. Kirk's Enterprise with flashbacks to "First Contact" with Vulcans (this was published years before the First Contact movie, so the continuity is different.) - "Final Frontier"; and followed by "Best Destiny" -- Stories about Kirk and his dad while growing up. - "Crossover" -- STNG novel with surviving Kirk cast - "Lost Years" -- Between TOS and Kirk movies - "Dreadnought " and "Battlestations" -- Kirk era regular adventures, but focuses a lot on new characters. It's been years since I've read these, but I recall they were very good. Hope this helps!
