There's a published Original Series Star Trek novel that's fairly clearly set in the world of a 70s TV show called "Here Come The Brides." I remember reading it and thinking, "I know these people."
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Yeah, that one's an open secret. If I recall the story correctly, Hambly sort of tried to get permission but there really wasn't anyone around who still held the rights to it, so she fudged it a bit and just went forward.
I doubt Paramount would approve it now: they've gotten a lot more gun-shy.
Also: it's also a crossover with half a dozen other properties, if you read it carefully. Doctor Who, at the very least, although I don't remember the rest. Dana probably knows.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I don't know offhand other than Here Come the Brides. Great book, though. It's called "Ishmael."

Hambly, that's right. I was trying to remember why I read it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Oh, I remember that one!

She's got a couple of other classic Trek books that are also good.

Because books.
It's called In the Shadow of Gotham.
I just read something about that, actually. It sounds a little bit like The Alienist from your description.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
These criminologists may fade away, since I'm still pretty early in, but so far, so meh. I would probably like the story a lot if it were just in a modern setting.

I went to a staged reading of selections from The Pale King tonight.
It was cool.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Reading Infinite Jest I Just Got something my brother has been saying to me for years.
