    What Did You Read in 2018?

    I didn't get near as much read last year as I normally do, due to various life changes (new job, got engaged, etc.). This is just fiction (novels and short stories) I read during 2018, in the order I read them, not including comics and non-fiction: Emma Carlson Berne, Star Wars: Forces of...

    Best Star Trek comic book stories

    The best stories are those from the UK with Captain Kurt of the Space Federation shouting "Bursting novas!" and "Sufferin' starships!"

    What Did You Read in 2017?

    It appears no one else has created a thread like this yet, and I always look forward to these each year, so I figured I'd start it myself. I didn't get as much read this year as I would have liked, but I enjoyed a lot of what I did read. The following are all the books (non-fiction excluded)...

    Weirdest Trek Books and Comics

    Easily the weirdest comics are the UK originals with Captain Kurt shouting stuff like "Bursting novas!" and "Sufferin' starships!"

    Am I allowed to post ideas for reference books?

    I agree that any ideas for a reference book are unlikely to amount to anything, but what's wrong with saying "Wouldn't it be cool to have a reference book on x?" That's pretty generic. If you were actually posting an outline of the book, then that would clearly be objectionable. But why can't...

    Star Trek Reading Order: New Site for Treklit Readers

    http://startrekreadingorder.com/ I thought I'd point out this cool new site. If you're familiar with the creator's (Travis Starnes) other sites, The Complete Marvel Reading Order (http://cmro.travis-starnes.com/) and Star Wars Reading Order (http://starwarsreadingorder.com/), you'll know what...

    Spoilers TOS: The Face of the Unknown by Christopher L. Bennett Review Thread

    Finished reading it last night. Not Christopher's best (those are still The Buried Age and the DTI novels), but still very enjoyable. I rated it "Above Average." The exploration of the First Federation's engineering feats and history was fascinating. Very much looking forward to the...

    What were your 2016 reading experiences?

    Kzinti were just mentioned in a new article by Rich Handley at startrek.com: http://www.startrek.com/article/in-the-year-2255

    Trek comic crossover wish list

    What did you think of the crossover with Planet of the Apes? I thought the way it was approached worked well enough, and there wasn't a clash of physical laws.

    New 2017 titles and blurbs - DTI, McCormack DS9, and more!

    I wouldn't think that a good DTI story would have to be an adventure. It could just involve figuring out a temporal mystery of some sort, right?

    Strange New Worlds 2016 available for pre-order

    Bought it but haven't had a chance to read anything from it yet. I'm definitely wondering if any of these stories will be referenced into the novelverse.

    Spoilers DTI: Time Lock by Christopher Bennett Review Thread

    Another excellent DTI story! I loved the use of the worldline destabilizer (or whatever it was called) to counteract the effects of the device that allowed them to see a few minutes into the future (I forget it's name at the moment). Genius!

    Spoilers DTI: Time Lock by Christopher Bennett Review Thread

    Does Time Lock reference anything from recent Trek fiction? I'm a little behind in the current "present" novelverse (I've read up through The Fall and The Light Fantastic, but I paused to go back and read the original DS9 relaunch so that I can then read the Mirror Universe material so that I...

    Spoilers Hidden Universe Travel Guide: Star Trek: Vulcan by Dayton Ward Review Thread

    I just finished reading it. I enjoyed it, although I'm surprised how many night clubs are on Vulcan. :-P I was a little confused by the claim that one of the locations described was purchased by a Ferengi over a century earlier. When is the "present" of this book? I thought it was supposed...

    Original UK Comics

    I've been enjoying reading IDW's collection Star Trek: The Classic UK Comics vol. 1. The stories are delightfully bizarre and they clearly don't fit into the continuity of TOS, let alone the novelverse or the other main series drawing from TOS (like DC Comics's series). Has any author ever...

    Season 2 books

    If you liked "Time Squared," you should read Watching the Clock, by Christopher Bennett. He provides an interesting story throughline for that and a few other TNG time travel stories.
