So basically, information from a novel is only canon until it is incorporated into an episode/movie. That does not make the novel canon, just the information that made it to the show.
Personally, I hate to accept anything from "Enterprise" as canon, because it seemed to re-write so much of what has come to be accepted as canon. Archer and company had contact with the Borg?? Come on!!
Anyway, I think that irishgirl, Ryan and myself with the Ledge Nerd Award for this debate/discussion :-)
