Shatnerverse
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
The Shatnerverse is an unofficial, fan-created nickname for the Star Trek novels written by William Shatner and Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens.
The novels primarily feature the further adventures of a resurrected Captain James T. Kirk in the 24th century, post-Star Trek: Generations. They are often epic in scale, and filled with franchise-wide crossovers. Because there was concern as to confusion to the casual viewer/reader, references to Kirk still being alive in other Star Trek novels and series are not often made outside of the Shatnerverse - leading many fans to think of it as an alternate timeline from other novel & series continuity.
The most recent novel moved the setting to that of a prequel, in the era of Kirk's days at Starfleet Academy. Because this might contradict some of what may be established in the forthcoming prequel movie the book included the following disclaimer:
- The plot, story lines, and historical narrative presented in Star Trek Academy: Collision Course constitute an imaginative work deriving solely from the author's unique personal vision.
Series editor Margaret Clark has gone on record as not liking the nickname.

[edit] Notes
- Some fans have speculated that the two Star Trek: The Next Generation entries in the Dominion War series, Behind Enemy Lines and Tunnel Through the Stars, actually take place in the Shatnerverse as they contradict post-finale Deep Space Nine fiction and are referred to in the Shatner book Spectre.
