The remainder of this listing of Star Trek fiction is divided into multiple sections, each with their own introduction below. The remaining two classic Star Trek episodes, both featuring the character Harry Mudd, were combined with an original story by Lawrence into Mudd’s Angels in 1978. Star Trek 12 was co-written by Blish’s wife, J.A. Once, in the early 1970s, the stories in Star Trek 1-10 were compiled into four hardbound volumes called Star Trek Readers and in 1991, to celebrate Star Trek’s 25th Anniversary, 77 of the 79 episodes were compiled into a three-volume paperback set entitled Star Trek - The Classic Episodes. The Blish books have been gathered, twice, into more convenient form. These two book sets have been in-and-out of print ever since their first releases. Most likely, the earliest forms of Star Trek fiction many fans may recall being exposed to are the numbered Star Trek books adapted by James Blish from the original scripts to 77 of the 79 classic Star Trek episodes (later rereleased in collected hardbacks as The Star Trek Readers) - and the Star Trek Log books, adapted by Alan Dean Foster from the scripts to the 22 Animated Star Trek episodes. This is a comprehensive listing of professionally published Star Trek fiction - novels and short-story collections.
