1. The Final Reflection by John Ford. The Klingons turned out to be different in future Trek. Still a good read. 2. My Enemy, My Ally by Diane Duane. Good story involving the Romulans. 3. A stitch in Time by Andrew Robinson. The Cardassian point of view. 4. The Vanguard series Star Trek fiction set in the Kirk era but not involving Main Trek Characters. 5. The LIves of Dax by Marco Palmieri biography of the symbiont Dax in various Star Trek eras. 6. The Wounded Sky by Diane Duane a non human scientist tests out a new propulsion system on the Enterprise. The ending reminds me of "Charlotte's Web". So that being said what are your favorites?
That's a tough question because there are so many great books out there. Here just a few of my favorites... A Stitch in Time by Andrew J. Robinson Once Burned by Peter David Immortal Coil by Jeffery Lang Cathedral by Michael A. Martin & Andy Mangels Q-Squared by Peter David Reunion by Michael Jan Friedman Rising Son by S.D. Perry Abyss by Jeffery Lang & David Weddle Rogue by Michael A. Martin & Andy Mangels The Art of the Impossible by Keith R.A. Decandido No Limits by various Tales of the Dominion War by various
My favorites in no particular order: A Stitch in Time, Q-Squared, The Art of the Impossible, Serpents Among the Ruins, the last three A Time To books, Aticles of the Federation, Titan series, Vanguard series, New Frontier series.
There's too many to list, but for whatever reason, I keep going back to Ishmael, by Barbara Hambly. And I never saw one episode of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (good movie, though....)
I have numerous all-time faves: "The Galactic Whirlpool", "The Entropy Effect", "Strangers from the Sky", "Final Frontier", novelizations of TMP, ST II and ST III, "Uhura's Song", "TNG: Immortal Coil", "NF: Gateways: Cold Wars", "NF: Stone and Anvil", "Andor: Paradigm" in WoDS9 Book 1, "Crucible: McCoy", to name a few.
There are many (MANY) great Trek books out there, so I'll try and sort my favorites by Series: DS9: Millennium, A Stitch in Time, 37th Rule, Avatar, Left Hand of Destiny, Unity, Hollow Men New Frontier: all of it, especially books 1-4 Vanguard: all of it Lost Era: Art of the Impossible, Serpents among the ruins, The Buried Age TNG: Vendetta, Q-Squared, Imzadi, Dark Mirror, Devil's Heart,A Time to Kill/Heal, A Time for War/Peace TOS: Prime Directive, The Lost Years, Vulcan's Heart, Spock's World, Strangers from the Sky, Sarek, Crucible:McCoy, Federation Other: Articles of the Federation
word up, RonG, Prime Directive is the shizzle. my faces: PD Burning Dreams Q&A Double or Nothing Once Burned Wildfire A Time to Kill/A Time to Hate A Good Day to Die Enemy Territory Orion's Hounds Diplomatic Implausibility alll 3 VGD books
Hmm, just swinging my eyes along my bookshelves I'd pick out: Avatar, Cloak, Unity, Warpath, Articles of the Federation, Q & A and Before Dishonor. And I'm currently half way through Burning Dreams and imagine that will join the list when I'm done.
I seem to remember there being a fair amount of hate for that book after it came out, but it is one of my favourite's too.
It's probably what you call a "sleeper" hit. People weren't sure if they wanted a whole Jake novel, but the SF plot and new characters were so compelling, and the final events set up the next wave of novels so well. Yeah, it's great. And I just realized I forgot two "Captain's Table" novels: "VOY: Fire Ship" and "NF: Once Burned".
My Top Ten Novels: 1. Fallen Heroes by Dafydd ab Hugh 2. The left Hand of Destiny - Duology by J.G. Hertzler & Jeffrey Lang 3. A Stitch in Time by Andrew J. Robinson 4. In the Name of Honor by Dayton Ward T5. Far Beyond the Stars by Steven Barnes T5. Hollow Men by Una McCormack T5. Ishmael by Barbara Hambly T5. Mission Gamma 1 : Twilight by David R. George III T9. A time for war, a time for peace by Keith R.A. DeCandido T9. Serpents among the Ruins by David R. George III
Crucible: McCoy - Provenance of Shadows by David R. George III takes the throne, never read a better Trek book. Other wonderful reads: - Metamorphosis by Jean Lorrah - the four Khan/Gary Seven Books by Greg Cox - Strangers from the Sky by Margaret Wonder Bonanno - Ex Machina by Christopher L. Bennett (we need more TMP-era novels!) - Q-Squared by Peter David - Ishmael by Barbara Hambly - Peter David's early TNG novels Strike Zone and A Rock and a Hard Place
If you were referring to my TNG "Time to..." duology, the second title was A Time to Heal. A Time to Hate was the second volume of Robert Greenberger's duology, which started with A Time to Love.
Q-Squared Immortal Coil Mission Gamma #1: Twilight Millennium Trilogy My Enemy, My Ally Captain's Table: Fire Ship
Man, this is a tough one... but just to name a few... In fact, I just started writing a list and realized that most of the Ds9 Relaunch was on it, so I'll state that the whole thing is pretty much gold along with Millenium (especially Twilight, Lives of Dax, Cathedral, Rising Son, Avatar and A Stitch in Time), The Good That Men Do, Serpents Among the Ruins, Fallen Heroes, Greg Cox's Khan books, the New Frontier books... Plenty more I'm forgetting but I've still yet to have my coffee. heh.
My favorites include: Orion's Hounds The Buried Age Andor: Paradigm Millenium Trilogy The Shatnerverse's MU trilogy-Spectre, Dark Victory, and Preserver (I bought the paperbacks, so they count )
