I always enjoy these threads. I'll just post my Star Trek reads, since I read too much other stuff, but I can say I read a total of 125 books in 2024. Of those 125, eleven were Star Trek: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Long Mirage by David R. George III Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: I, the...

When Avatar Book One came out, The Entropy Effect—the oldest of the old original Pocket novels—was twenty years old. Avatar Book One came out over twenty-three years ago. I hope the rest of you feel as old as I do.

I am getting rid of some books. No Treklit but sf and other stuff. I will send them your way for free or a contribution toward postage. If you are interested, drop me a DM. You can see my books here...

It's been a couple years since someone started this thread, but I missed it. Here's the Star Trek books I read this year: Star Trek: Prometheus: Fire with Fire by Bernd Perplies and Christian Humberg Star Trek: Titan: Absent Enemies by John Jackson Miller Star Trek: The Next Generation: The...

I've been reading Christopher Priest's run on Black Panther recently, and something about it made me think he ought to write a Star Trek comic. I don't remember what now, that was a month ago, but I think it was probably a very good Star Trek joke—combined with the fact that Priest is an...

Do any of you folks who think about these things have any theories as to when The Unsettling Stars and More Beautiful than Death are set relative to IDW's Kelvin timeline comics?

I've been writing a series of blog posts about the title fonts and logos of Star Trek: https://lessaccurategrandmother.blogspot.com/search/label/topic%3A%20fonts What I thought would be one or two posts keeps growing and growing. The next post is going to be about the books. Can you guys think...

Why is it the "S.C.E." but the "DTI"? Such inconsistencies seem to undermine Starfleet as an in-universe institution and Star Trek tie-in fiction as an important cultural undertaking. Is there someone I can hold responsible for this?

To get my wife up to speed before Picard, I've been rewatching some TNG episodes that I think will be relevant with her; tonight we watched "I Borg." Riker's line "The Borg usually collect their dead" stuck out to me. They usually do? I don't remember the Borg coming for their dead in "Q Who"...

It is an oft-repeated claim that Marvel's Star Trek ongoing (1980-82), because of its license, could only use concepts from Star Trek: The Motion Picture itself. Can anyone provide me with an authoritative source for this claim? Because I am about five issues from finishing the series and it is...

I recently saw the cover of Strange Stars, Jason Heller's forthcoming book about David Bowie and sci-fi in the 1970s: http://static.mhpbooks.com/strange-stars/ Of course, my eyes were immediately drawn to the fact that the title font is the same one as the Gold Key Comics and the UK annuals...

Quoting myself in another thread: I couldn't let this thought go without making a list. Based on @ryan123450's helpful list, I reckon you could collect the outstanding e-novellas in 7 (or 8) volumes: Corps of Engineers: Remembrance of Things Past Turn the Page Troubleshooting The Light The...

A couple years ago, BBC Books reissued a bunch of old Doctor Who books as "the Monster Collection": http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/doctor-who-bbc-books-the-monster-collection/ They slapped images of (mostly) new-series versions of monsters on (mostly) old-series tie-in novels. So...

Somehow there's not already a thread about this book, surely the best Star Trek book of the year? Obviously I expected to like this book because I requested a review copy of it from LibraryThing, but I didn't expect to love it, yet love it I did. Parks's illustrations of scenes from the...

So, at a certain point I started to fall behind when it came to Star Trek novels. While I used to read them avidly as they came out, I started to slip further and further behind, especially when it came to what I've come to think of the "Destiny Era" books, those novels set after Nemesis, the...

I recently reread this book for the first time since I was a kid, and really liked it. I went to look it up in Voyages of Imagination, and in a perfect example of Jeff Ayres's lackluster approach to research, there's only a one-sentence quotation from Jean Lorrah saying she doesn't want to get...

Am I blind or is there no thread? https://www.varesesarabande.com/products/star-trek-beyond-the-deluxe-edition Varese Saraband has one up for order. Shipping begins this week. For Into Darkness there was a year-long wait between film and deluxe soundtrack, I seem to recall. Five months is...

There are obviously some Star Trek coinages that have crept into the wider sci-fi world, like "cloaking device." But I was surprised to discover a sci-fi book called Class-M Exile clearly using the Star Trek meaning of the word. Here's its cover blurb: Is anyone familiar with any other sci-fi...

I've been rewatching Deep Space Nine for the first time in a decade (!!!), and I though it'd be nice to read a novel at the end of each season, one that takes place during or otherwise co-ordinates with that season. My ideas so far: 1. ??? 2. ??? 3. Time's Enemy 4. The 34th Rule 5. ...

Recently rewatched Logopolis and was struck by how Steven Moffat-y it was: * paying off a vague arc in the season finale * hints about future knowledge that don't quite make sense (like, what did the Watcher tell the Doctor to send him to Logopolis?) * dropping said hints as soon as the story is...
