Titan Books

Titan Books is a division of the UK publishing company Titan Entertainment Group, along with Titan Magazines and Titan Comics.

They publish a mix of reprints and brand-new titles for the UK market. Formed in 1981, the company has released a wide variety of titles, including an extensive line of Star Trek reprints, beginning in 1987 with Chain of Attack. They continued reprinting a number of novels and reference books published by Bantam Books and more recently by Pocket Books.

After Pocket Books was removed from the Star Trek franchise-mix in the mid-2000s by franchise management, Titan Books became the primary publisher for original Star Trek reference book titles.

Original Series novels[]

When reprinting the Original Series novels, Titan ran its own monthly numbering scheme, which did not correspond with that of Pocket Books. This was largely due to the fact that Titan began with Pocket's most recent bimonthly release at the time, Chain of Attack, slotting in older novels where possible. Following excellent UK sales of the first three imported US "giant" Pocket paperbacks, Titan repackaged several of the heftier regular Pocket numbered releases, and giving them "giant" novel status for the UK market.

The exception to this reprint release was the novelization of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock which, although forming part of the numbered series, had already been licensed for publication in the UK through Granada Books.

Following The Great Starship Race, Pocket Books began releasing the novels through Simon & Schuster UK.

Next Generation novels were released by Titan in the same order as Pocket, up until Here There Be Dragons.

Comics[]

Reference books[]

In 1996, Titan Books published The Making of Star Trek: First Contact which collected articles about Star Trek: First Contact previously published in the Star Trek Magazine, as a first-time Titan original. In 2009, they followed up with their own release of Star Trek - The Art of the Film, a behind-the scenes companion to Star Trek. With these, Titan Books started a trend in that original English-language Star Trek reference books were published that had no US pedigree and/or counterparts, and as such took over to a large extent – alongside Hero Collector, another UK publisher incidentally – the role Pocket Books previously had for such works, having actually already been the officially licensed UK publisher for the original Pocket Books Star Trek releases in the late 1980s - early 2000s era.
