2010 books

13) Jeff Burk, Shatnerquake, 2009
William Shatner checks in as Guest of Honour for the first ever ShatnerCon, but after a reality bomb goes off all the characters ever played by Shatner are suddenly sucked into our world to seek out and destroy the real Shat. I loved this rather libellous idea particularly as the book itself was not sanctioned by Shatner, and it's actually prefaced with a plea that Shatner doesn't sue. I hope he doesn't and doubt he would, because this novella just adds handsomely to the Shatner mythos even though he's portrayed as thinking his fans are a bunch of "sniveling little sycophantic shits" in the opening sentence. Wonderfully bizarre, and 10/10 for concept.

I imagine he'd greet it with a huge laugh.

all the characters ever played by Shatner

Jim Kirk, Denny Crane, T J Hooker, the Big Giant Head.. and a bunch of tv movie appearances. That's quite a cast.
