The only three novels that I know of which have original stories instead of rehashes are Thanos: Titan Consumed, Infinity War: the Cosmic Quest Vol One and Infinity War: the Cosmic Quest Vol Two. So these are the only ones that I have read or are reading. If there are any others, let me know please. But I couldn't find any.

The Thanos is definitely not canon as said by Marvel Studios, but the writer said he worked with Marvel Studios on it so maybe the canon backstory is something similar. I won't spoil any plot details unless someone wants me to, but from the books, it seems that Thanos is probably only 50-60 years old by the time of Infinity War, at the most. So that would make the collapse of Titan only like 30 years ago, so maybe 1990 or something.

Cosmic Quest Vol One is a story about the Collecter and the Grandmaster. I haven't finished this one yet, but it's definitely after Ragnarok. I'm curious to see if it will lead up to Thanos taking the reality stone from the Collector.

Cosmic Quest Vol Two is a story after Infinity War about Erik Selvig and Darcy mainly, but in the beginning, they aren't sure about Jane Foster's fate. They think she may have disappeared with the Decimation. I won't spoil her fate here, but if someone wants to know, I can say. The story was ok, but it was only about scientists. There was no superhero action or anything. Which is fine and could be interesting, but it was mostly just ok. I believe someone mentioned earlier in this thread that "The Heroes' Journey: Avengers: Infinity War", "The Heroes' Journey: Ant-Man & the Wasp", "The Cosmic Quest Volume One: Beginning" and "The Cosmic Quest Volume Two: Aftermath" are the canon novels.
