Just finished q in law again. What’s the funniest trek book you’ve read ?
Funniest trek book

I don't remember either of the above. The funniest I can think of are Goldin's Trek to Madworld, and Ford's How Much for Just the Planet.
Q-in-Law gets my vote.
The audiobook with Majel Barrett and John DeLancie is laugh-out-loud funny.

Also? The only canon Star Trek book.
Sitting around a table with John M Ford at a Sydney SF convention, chatting about how he wanted "How Much for Just the Planet?" to be even more bizarre and unique, is a lovely memory.
I remember "Fallen Heroes" as having a very fast pace with lots of shocks, but I do not recall it was humorous.
Love "Q-in-Law", and yes, the audio is a hoot. More Q humour in the "Spock vs. Q" audios. The boxed set has bonus video.
Comic-wise, the two-part Grond vs Ajir storyline in Diane Duane's "Double Blind" (DC, 1986) is hilarious.
Also love PAD's "Double Time" one shot comic, which has some funny moments, including a mystery character's face being deliberately obscured in every frame she appears.

"Commander. Damnedest thing. I ordered a course and heading, just as I've done a thousand times... and this one, by utter happenstance, slingshot us around the sun and created a self-contained temporal disruption that flung us back in time by four days. Whoops."
Dammit. They forgot to pick up the pizza and Michelob.
Also the only really good Star Trek tie-in. *nodsnodsnods*Also? The only canon Star Trek book.
Why thank you, Smiley!
Never heard of it.
You can read the first three stories in this preview.

Peter David in general is a good recommendation. The New Frontier series consistently cracked me up (until the quality dropped around Treason or so).
My particular favorite I think was early on. Kebron declares his jail cell an embassy and informs the guards that the bars aren't keeping him in, they're keeping the guards out. When they express incredulity, he calmly states that in that case "you will not be invited to our first formal dance. And that, sir, will be your loss."
