Alan Dean Foster’s Star Trek Into Darkness novelization gives Abrams’ second Kelvin-era film a prose form that can linger on character beats, interior reactions, and story transitions in a different way than the movie itself. For fans of tie-in fiction, that alone makes it worth noting.
On AbramsFans, this is the kind of official shelf companion that fills out the publishing side of the film. It will not replace the movie, but it does give the Into Darkness era one more layer of official story material for readers who like seeing a franchise cross into prose.
