Like LMA, i cannot for the life of me recall the details of the three tie-in novels. They were a cute enough read but not worth buying in my opinion and certainly no match for most of the Archive's fan content. If you can find a free copy somewhere they'll probably be a fun couple of hours reading.
The Cherryh novel was appallingly bad. Partly because she seemed not to have watched the show before writing it. There were more than a few occasions where Clark and Lois seemed to be based on the comics characterisations instead.
I'd agree best to save your cash and enjoy fanfiction instead.
