Star Trek isn't a continuing series. Once in a while they refer to previous ones and there are some sereieses in it but most are single books.
Star Wars also has a lot of books -- probably at least 70 now. And the New Jedi Order is a long continuing series maybe 20 books long now... and the rest of them have continuity between serieses (because most of the rest of the books are in 3-book trilogies). They aren't one continuing series and have lots of authors, but its best to have read the previous ones because the story does continue... though of course Star Wars books are a LOT thinner than a Robert Jordan book. :)
Oh, and yeah, I thought I'd heard it referred to as 3 books originally... its why I doubt he'll finish it in 3 books now. :)
