Bantam Books
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bantam Books (established 1945), owned by Random House, is part of the Bantam Dell Publishing Group. The science fiction imprint Spectra published Star Wars novels from 1991 to 1999, when Del Rey (which had published the original movie novelizations) took over.
Bantam also published the entire original run of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series of children's books, as well as the first original novels (aimed at adults) based upon the Star Trek franchise, publishing about a dozen such books between 1970 and 1982 when the licence was taken over by Pocket Books. Bantam also published a dozen volumes of short story adaptations of scripts from Star Trek: The Original Series.
