Star Trek (Movie Tie-In) by Alan Dean Foster
A nice adaption by Foster, the king of movie (and more) adaptions. A little rough in the editing (the word manual in one sentence is spelled manuel in the next). Adds backstory to explain things (especially the young Jimmy Kirk joyride in the beginning) and is a nice replay of a fun movie.

I've been aware of this for years - read some of it, seen the musical and listened to the music. Now I feel I have a better (if abridged) understanding of the story - a nice adaption I picked up on audiocassette at my local library.

Star Trek: Enterprise: The First Adventure by Vonda N. McIntyre,
I had to re-read this after seeing the new movie (which IS great!). This holds up well - actually paralleling the movie, in the bad start to Spock and Kirk's friendship.
