Whats the most heart pounding action packed trek book you ever read?

 

[TerraUnam]

Does Destiny count?

 

[Thrawn]

Yeah, I was gonna say: this is an EASY one.

That said, honorable mention to the first half of Children of the Storm. That was some crazy exciting plotting, even more remarkable for happening to characters we'd never met before and still being so compelling.

 

[JD]

I think it would have to be a tie for me between the Destiny books and Reap The Whirlwind, there were some pretty crazy scenes in that book.

 

[Thrawn]

...but if you had to pick something that wasn't written by David Mack, what would it be?

 

[JD]

Summon the Thunder. The first time I read the Shedai's attack in that book I was listening to the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack and the two complimented each other perfectly. The end of Olympus Descending was pretty exciting too.

 

[PKS8304]

I got to say, JM Dillard's Possession, when they tried to expunge the aliens and it didnt work and Picard and Riker went for each other's throats...wow that was intense lol

 

[Rush Limborg]

Let's see...I'd say a three-way tie.

Diane Duane's The Empty Chair.

Mike and Andy's Excelsior: Forged In Fire.

And Mike and Andy's The Good That Men Do.

It was a long time ago, but I seem to remember "DS9: Fallen Heroes" as being rather frenetic and frustrating, with so many twists and surprises.

 

[DS9forever]

The closing scenes of The Soul Key were pretty intense.

 

[Christopher]

I'd say most of L. A. Graf's novels are pretty much nonstop action. Poor Chekov usually spends most of their TOS books getting repeatedly beaten up, injured, and nearly killed.

That book scared the crap out of me when I was younger.

 

[Cybersnark]

I loved the climactic battle against the Null in "Synthesis;" it was like Transformers and H.P. Lovecraft both crossed over with Star Trek at the same time.

Poor Chekov usually spends most of their TOS books getting repeatedly beaten up, injured, and nearly killed.

To be fair, Chekov spent most of TOS getting repeatedly beaten up, injured, and nearly killed.

 

[Christopher]

^But not as routinely as in the Graf novels or to the same extent.

 

[captcalhoun]

the end of ATT Heal when the excrement hits the ventilation and the Enterprise's counter-strike in ATT Kill on the Nadion Pulse Cannons.

 

[JD]

Ooo, that's another good one.

 

[WarsTrek1993]

Well, the obvious answer is "Destiny".
"The Return" also has quite abit of action (though that might have gone overboard with the action sequences.)

 

[TerraUnam]

DTI: Watching the Clock had some intense moments. Better yet, it managed to make me care about the fate of the characters rather than just being gratuitous action.

Absolutely one of my favorites, when I was in high school.

I definitely loved it, and read it a bunch of times. Whether I'd feel the same way now, I dunno, but that first time... I seem to recall there was a part where O'Brien gets blown in half or something that just terrified the 12-year-old me reading it the first time.
