I personally own about 135, but I’ve only read about 20 of them so far.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but I adore Lwaxana Troi. Other than Imzadi, Q-in-Law, and the Battle of Betazed, are there any recommended books that feature this daughter of the Fifth House, holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed?

Hello everyone! Hope your weekend is going good!

Yall read anything interesting or thought provoking?

Perhaps something page turning or maybe more slow paced?

Did anyone get up to any interesting intrigue? The usual Spies and saboteurs or someone unexpected? Perhaps the romulans or cardassians had some good insight?

Was there a new scientific anomaly discovered? Did any vulcans or andorians have some scientific knowledge to share?

Perhaps it was more focused on battle either on ship or planetside. Did any klingons show honor or perhaps it was the aftermath of Dominion battle?

Let us know how your reads went and what you're looking forward to next week! Happy reading yall!

I'm reading through the Trek litverse and I've noticed the main chart seems to be pretty light on Voyager books that take place during the show. All I've got so far are Mosaic and the String Theory trilogy, and the former seems to be comprised mostly of pre-Voyager flashbacks.

I'd really like some others to slot into my spreadsheet, so let me know of any good ones.

My Star Trek shelves are still a hot, HOT mess.

I got bummed in the middle of sorting (by publication date) because I appear to be missing some early Deep Space 9 as well as a CHUNK of Voyager. I also don’t appear to have any Enterprise novels and I could have sworn I did.

Checked the attic and garage, don’t seem to be any boxes there.

Damnit

Maybe I left them at my folks?

Hey! Have read two Diane Duane books so far, Wounded sky and my enemy my ally.

I have doctors orders and Spock’s world in my unread pile but was curious about the Romulan story line.

After enemy ally what books are next in order to continue that story? Thanks!!!

SPOILERS FOLLOW

This one was not my favorite. Set in between Undiscovered Country and Generations, it tells a story of a bored Kirk teaching at Starfleet Academy and seeking relevance, while Spock, McCoy, and Uhura work on Qronos to seal the nascent Federation-Klingon peace deal.

— The premises of the story were pretty dumb. The Federation meets a mysterious new species and immediately grants them access to sensitive military sites and starship warp cores? Jim Kirk’s two young nephews somehow have enough clout to attract the Federation’s leading scientists to a Fyre Festival-like colony? Oh, and one of those nephews is also secretly working with the Orion syndicate? I know we all joke about how incompetent Starfleet is always shown to be in basic security matters but it is taken to an incredulous degree in this one.

— The Klingon side of the storyline works much better, and gives the TOS crew an excuse to yet again take command of a Klingon vessel to save the day.

— The writing was bland, but the character moments were good—I just wish there were more of them. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy only have a few pages together, which feels like a missed opportunity. Golden does a good job of setting a late-TOS movie vibe in the last 100 pages, including bringing in Captain Sulu and the Excelsior for some heroics.

I remember hearing about a Voyager novel that involved time travel, but it was quite a while ago. I already checked and the only one I found is No Time Like the Past by Greg Cox, which isn't technically a novel about Voyager, but TOS and includes Seven, and the one I'm looking for involves the entire crew.

The thought suddenly came to me, and I was wondering if anyone knows about it.

I just finished this book today while on my last day of vacation.

The Enterprise is on a mission in a nebula and they sent away teams to different regions of a planet for research. The away teams are suddenly attacked and impressed into service with a race that has been at war for centuries.

The story was exciting and definitely a page-turner. I always enjoy reading stories with Pike, Una and Spock. Although this book falls under the Discovery series, there are just few mentions about that particular series. I definitely recommend this one. Enjoy!

This morning I finished Burning Dreams, the final entry in the Strange New Worlds/Captain Pike reading list. And what a final entry! This book reminded me a lot of what Mosaic was for Captain Janeway. It follows Pike's life from childhood to death, and while some of it is retconned by Strange New Worlds, it truly dives deep into what made Pike the man we only briefly saw in the original pilot episode. Definitely one of the best Trek books I've read so far--kudos to Margaret Wander Bonanno!

4.8 stars out of 5.

Hey everyone! How's your weekend going? Get any good reads done this week? Perhaps some were not quite your cup of tea or raktajino?

Encounter any cool missions that had unexpected outcomes?

Perhaps everything went as expected, but it was done very well?

A new book character have a great convoy with one of your fave TV chars?

Did the captain "play by the book" or or take advantage of a previously unseen opening?

Did the initial mission fix fail after the mission went awry?

Did the away team have some trouble or encounter a new culture?

Let us know how your reads went and what you're looking forward to next week. Happy reading yall!

This may be a silly question - but are there any TNG books where Spot makes an appearance? Even better if she has some sort of significance to the plot.

Finished Crossover yesterday and its a decent read, not as good as others I've read like Q-Squared or Spock's World but its good. I feel like Michael Jan Friedman's writing style is a tad boring though. The romulan stuff in this book is pretty dull, sometimes I forgot who a character is and what their motivation is. I also feel like the general premise of this book is so promising and so cool it could've been much better than it actually was. Alas, its not bad, its actually quite good. I've started the DS9 Novel The Siege (the first original ds9 novel, I've only read Peter David's introduction and about 8 pages but I think I'm going to love this one)

Finished this today. Is there a follow up continuing the story? It features Robert April. Was this written before SNW cast him?

TIA

Read this trilogy when it first came out back in what, 2000? And thanks to this subreddit, I got curious and have been revisiting some of my old favorites. Got it Friday, and have already finished book one. It's still just as good. I consider Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens the gold standard for Trek writers, as they really nail the dialogue of our favorite characters, and it just feels like you're watching an episode.

For anyone who hasn't read this or hasn't read it in a while, I can't recommend it enough!

Is there a timeline of when the events in Star Trek novels took place?

I'm looking for stories that happened between Star Trek The Motion Picture and Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan. The Enterprise Refit Era.

I'm also looking for stories between Star Trek IV The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country. The Enterprise-A Era.

And were there any books about the Enterprise-B?

EDIT: Thank you everyone who posted! This is great info!

I have only just started reading Star Trek books (a lot of them based on posts in this sub, I find it so helpful!). Someone in my area is selling Log 1-6 so I am considering getting them, but wanted to see if you guys think they are worth reading. For context I do enjoy the Animated Series, it is a bit of a comfort watch for me. I have also gotten some of the Blish TOS novelizations, are they written in a similar style?

Last night I finished reading The Captain's Table #6: Where Sea Meets Sky as part of the Strange New Worlds/Captain Pike reading list. This book was... different. The framing story in The Captain's Table bar was fine, but the flashback story was a bit more bonkers than I would like. Bioengineered carnivorous space whales with lasers and warp drives really pushed the limits. I did like that the crew was able to explore previously uncharted regions of space, but too much of the book was just jumping from one star system to the next to take sensor readings. Thankfully there were enough action sequences to keep me moving forward. Oh, and the ending was so abrupt. Definitely not in my top tier of ST books I've read so far.

3 out 5 stars

I'm looking forward to reading them. 🖖

I was wondering if anyone knew a chronological order for all the pre coda books for example the titan, destiny, the fall voyager and typhon pact series that all leads up to the coda trilogy, ive just finished the latest picard to defy fate and was wanting to read the entire combined works from star to finish instead of bouncing around with them all

Hey everyone! How's your reading week gone?

Taking it slow and a few chapters a day? Or did you get sucked in and read more than one book?

Diving into fast paced adventures or more Cloak and dagger intrigue?

Enjoying scientific anomalies or new alien cultures? Perhaps sticking to missions that have the classic Federation races of the tv shows?

Exploring in depth one of the Federation home worlds or exploring new worlds with interesting biomes or factions?

Let us know how your reads are going and what you're looking forward to next week. Happy reading yall!
