Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek in 1966, launching one of the most enduring franchises in science fiction. His direct contribution to Star Trek literature was the 1979 novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which he wrote based on his own screenplay for the film.

The subsequent Star Trek movie novelizations were handled by other writers, but the series carries Roddenberry’s name as the franchise creator. The books span from the original film through Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), covering the entire run of theatrical Star Trek films in novel form.
