Star Trek books are a lot more hit and miss than Star Wars, because it was never considered to be any sort of canon. They're essentially isn't a Star Trek EU. Any author can write a book about anything, submit it for approval, and have it added to the list. Even if everything in the book directly contradicts stuff in other books. There is absolutely no continuity and there was never intended to be any. So if you're a stickler for that kind of thing, it's going to be very grating. Then again if you like stand alone stories and don't mind that they're completely disconnected from everything else, some of them are pretty good. Some of them are pretty good.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ve only read one so far that takes place in TOS era. I have books from TOS through Enterprise along with Titan and the one Shatner wrote about Kirk coming back to life. I know with Star Wars Lucas wouldn’t allow certain things like I think he made them kill off Anakin.

Any era of books for Trek you like most?
Read the TOS novel Kobayashi Maru.
I may have that already but I’ll get it if I don’t. Thanks!
