I think this is my favourite cover - Book 4. It depicts a scene from episode 78, the second-to-last one: All Our Yesterdays, and I have borrowed a "clean" version from Chris Achilléos' website, too. Nostalgia, creativity, and skill—perfect.

They just keep getting better. This is another great Chris Achilléos cover from James Blish's third volume of Star Trek episode adaptations, featuring a scene from a great episode—Amok Time. Originally published in 1972, this is the 1984 Corgi reprint.

I had never heard of these two novels (collected in this one edition) until someone here mentioned them.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to enjoy these.

The front cover of James Blish's 'The Devil's Day'. On the left the Devil is standing on flames, and on the right a cleric (a monk?) is standing in what seems to be a library. The latter has his arms stretched in 'Come at me then!' defiance. The Devil holds one arm out at 90° and his fingers seem to make a 'Here, kitty, here' gesture.

Blish left out the two Mudd stories from the previous 12 books and then tried to adapt them both and make one story. He died before finishing, and his wife, JA Lawrence, finished it and added a 3rd, original story. Later reprinted with a new title.

Book 9 already, and an image from The Immunity Syndrome -first broadcast in the UK on Mon 10th Aug 1970. We had to wait quite a while, didn't we? A nice clean copy from Chris Achileos' website too.

These covers just make me want to be 10 years old again.

Book 12 and an image from The Corbomite Manoeuvre that everyone remembers from the closing credits. A nice clean image from Chris Achileos' website, too. This is (almost) the last of the episode adaptations, but don't worry. There are lots more covers to come.

I have been buying these books from eBay and this one stands out because it was in MINT condition. No joke. 40 years old and £3.00. Where has this been kept?? Unread too. 🤷🏻‍♂️😳😊

Book 10 and a thoughtful looking Spock from the episode "The Galileo Seven", as featured inside the book. I should probably mention that every cover is based on one of the episodes in each book.
