Topic: The Shat to co-write "Starfleet Academy" novels

Among their numerous projects, Judith and Gar work with William Shatner on his novels. Shatner also took part in the panel, talking about his new series of books slated for early next year. Tentatively titled "The Academy," this series of books will look at the younger Kirk and his relationships with some of the famous instructors and future crewmates such as Spock. Gar and Judith, who will collaborate with Shatner on the project, mentioned how this series would attempt to tie in Kirk's Academy days with the references to these experiences that we know so well from the Original Series and movies.

If you'll recall, Harve Bennett's concept for Star Trek VI involved Kirk and Spock's meeting at the Academy.  One wonders if the authors have that in mind.  Hopefully, this will be better than Shat's TNG era stuff.

I'll say this: Shatner got his character into order and finally settled with one gal.  That's enough for a real change to make Kirk truely human.
