What you always wanted to make a fiver of

[Nan]

Actually, I would put the figure around 95.3%, based on my sampling of about 150 of said novels. I found about 7 were worth a three-read, and those were all either TOS or New Frontier.

Enh. Maybe ten at the outside.

The Star Wars novels are pretty hit-or-miss as well. The problem with both seems to be decent concept, horrible execution.

Q-Squared (TNG) gets a nod for the sheer bizarre innovation of a stuffed Winnie the Pooh attacking a security guard.

This is why I've gravitated to comics. Their respective low cost takes the edge off when the relentless mediocrity starts to really hurt.

Case in point, JLA Witchblade. *shudder*
