That's not to say that the early stuff represented a golden age. Lots of drivel was published back in the day--works by Marshak and Culbreath, Sonni Cooper, Della Van Hise, Diane Carey, etc., etc.
For a long time, I tried to keep up with new Trek novels. But the current list and the backlist are now so unwieldy (and, to me, so unappealing) that I've pretty much given up. I rely on fan writers for my Trek reading pleasure these days. ;-)
