I find it a more fleshed out Trek Universe that INCLUDES bits from the novels, much like the timeline I linked to above. Gene Roddenberry and Paramount have changed their position a few times on what constituted canon, so I can accept that I am presently in the minority and hope for the acceptance of the novels into the canon universe in the future.

Well tbh, Gene has been dead since 1991. He didnt even want to consider ST5: The Final Frontier to be canon (b/c it was so bad), much less the novels. So who knows. But the fans dont accept them.
