This seems very on-brand for Shatner.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I read one of his scifi novels. It was very bad. But I didnt expect anything differnt tbh.
Yeah it was a drug novel that didn't even make the drug seem cool. 🤷🏻♀️
Well the kids have to learn about Tek War sooner or later
Star Trek V and his run of Star Trek novels are the original NuTrek.
Aw I liked V, I think a lot of its issues were caused by the studio. "What does God need with a ship?" is easily the most Captain Kirk line in all of Trekdom.
Gonna get a lot of flack here but I liked V more than IV. Yeh, I said it. Who's gonna fight me? :D
No need. I'm one of the few who really enjoys Insurrection... when viewed as a 2-parter episode.
I read the first couple TekWar books. The first one isn't that bad. Lots of good ideas but if I remember correctly the second book was just dull and I never finished it. Probably would be a good audiobook, maybe...
Wasn't that a game too?
William Shatner reading any book as Kirk would be +1.
It was one of the TekWar books but I have no idea which. I just know it was very badly written.
It was amateur but readable so I wouldn't say it was badly written. Someone probably had a hard time being his editor and staying objective
I quite enjoyed "The Return". I suspect that was less due to his writing abilities than the 2 other writers...
