Ah, but I was a wee bairn when I read this, mercifully unaware of the concept of canon. In my head, stuff that said Star Trek on it was Star Trek. (This is why I was confused for some time about "Nikolai" Rozhenko appearing on the show when his name was Simon in Worf's First Adventure.) It wasn't till I read books with more blatant contradictions, like Vendetta and Federation, that I realized they couldn't be on the same footing as the shows.
Those Academy books are undeservedly overlooked, by the way. Not only were they fun and memorable, but those of us who read Peter David's initial Worf trilogy got a bonus years later when he started New Frontier. Soleta, McHenry, and Zak Kebron all first appeared in the Academy books.
