Although James Blish was credited as the adapter for the TV series episode stories for Star Trek 1 through Star Trek 11, in Jeff Ayers' Voyages of the Imagination it is acknowledged that after Star Trek 7 or Star Trek 8, the stories were ghost-written by Blish's wife, J. A. Lawrence, and her mother, without the knowledge of editor Frederik Pohl. Star Trek 12, published after the death of Blish in July 1975, was credited to both Blish and Lawrence.
