Order of Star Trek: The Original Series Books
Star Trek: The Original Series is a series of science fiction novels based on the popular television show (1966-1969) and movies created by Gene Roddenberry. The show takes place on the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, which is headed by Captain James T. Kirk, along with his first officer Spock. Each episode of the television series started with this voiceover from Captain Kirk (William Shatner): “Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.”

The Star Trek: New earth books (Wagon Train to the Stars through Challenger) take place between ST:TMP and Wrath of Khan. A big part of the plot of these books is that Chekov is preparing to leave to become first officer of the Reliant, which he does in book 4. That’s the post he held at the start of Star Trek II, and the Reliant was destroyed in that movie. It’s not possible for these books to be placed after Star Trek II.
Thanks for the correction!
