    Star Trek: Triangle (#9) by Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath

    I just finished re-reading this novel as part of my re-readings of older novels from the 1980s. This book was published in 1983 and according to Memory Alpha, takes place in 2274. The book makes clear this is a post-TMP novel. After reading the M&C novels published by Bantam my expectations for...

    Star Trek: Voyager #16: "Seven of Nine" by Christie Golden

    Just completed reading this novel. It was published 09/1998 and according to Memory Alpha it takes place in 2374, during the 4th season of the show. This appears to be consistent with the story. Voyager needs to cross the Lhiaarian Empire to avoid a significant detour on their way home. The...

    Star Trek V: The Final Frontier by J.M. Dillard (1989)

    I was in a 'discussion' on one of the movie threads about Star Trek V and long story short we were discussing some of the plot holes in the film that were addressed in the novel, and it's been a long time since I read the novelization so I decided to grab it for a quick re-read (the thread was...

    Star Trek: The Next Generation: Slings and Arrows

    I just started reading the Slings and Arrows series and figured I'd do a run down like I did for Mere Anarchy. I did look at some of the existing threads for Slings and Arrows as I usually try to use already existing threads for books, but most of the Slings and Arrows threads were about whether...

    First Impressions

    I did this for Discovery, then for Picard, and I figured I'd do the same for Lower Decks. Part of it is I freely admit I can be a bit OCD about things and it'd drive me nuts not to do it for Lower Decks as well. So, I've noted before I don't do streaming (I still have cable....I know, so old...

    Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Best and the Brightest by Susan Wright

    This novel was originally released in 1998 and it takes place between 2368 and 2372. I believe it's supposed to be at least loosely tied to the young adult Starfleet Academy series (which other than the final book in the Day of Honor series I never read). It basically follows a group of cadets...

    Things You Didn't Notice In Star Trek Until Years Later

    I wanted to start a thread about things that you discovered in Star Trek years after they were introduced that you never realized before. I'd be curious to see what people might say. For instance, it was years before I noticed Betazoids have black eyes. It wasn't until I saw Ensign Lon Suder on...

    Star Trek #83: Heart of the Sun by Pamela Sargent & George Zebrowski (1997)

    I just completed reading this novel. It's the last original series numbered novel I had left unread. Memory Alpha gives the year it takes place as 2267, which is probably about right. The time frame definitely appeared to be sometime during season 1. Chekov does not appear at all, Lt. Kevin...

    What would/does Rick Berman think of Picard?

    I just started watching Picard and I started wondering what does Rick Berman think of Picard? Last I heard anything from him was just wishing Discovery luck before that show started. He's kept a pretty low profile the last several years. I suppose part of that is he just wants to stay out of the...

    Spoilers First Impressions

    I did this on the Discovery thread and figured I'd do the same here. I don't do streaming so I have to wait until each season of each new show comes out on Blu-Ray. I got the first season of Picard for Christmas and thus far have watched the first 3 episodes plus the short "Children of Mars"...

    Star Trek #8: Black Fire by Sonni Cooper

    This was an interesting book that I'm not sure how much I liked. First it seems like one of those books that seemed to go with the idea that there was some in between mission between the original series and TMP. It starts off with a bang. The Enterprise is crippled, the bridge destroyed and they...

    Star Trek #12: Mutiny on the Enterprise by Robert Vardeman

    I just completed my re-read of "Mutiny on the Enterprise" which was Robert Vardeman's 2nd and final Star Trek novel. I read it after re-reading his first novel "The Klingon Gambit" and this takes place immediately after that novel and briefly references their mission from that novel. So, like...

    Star Trek #3: The Klingon Gambit by Robert Vardeman

    I just completed my re-read of "The Klingon Gambit", released 10/1981. It takes place around Stardate 4720 and Memory Beta puts the time frame around 2268 which sounds about right. It has been years since I read this and I didn't remember a thing about it. The Enterprise is sent to Alnath II...

    Star Trek: The Entropy Effect (#2) by Vonda McIntyre

    I just completed my re-read of this first original Star Trek novel published by Pocketbooks. I read it many years ago, sometime in the early 1990's I believe and remember almost nothing about it, other than Sulu had long hair. So it was basically new for me. Despite the cover image, as was...

    Star Trek: Mudd's Angels by J.A. Lawrence (1978)

    I have read all the Bantam original Star Trek novels except for the episode adaptations by James Blish. I've been reading those off and on and haven't posted specific reviews of those. I made an exception in this case since it includes an original story. Basically what happened is Blish passed...

    Star Trek: Mission to Horatius by Mack Reynolds (1968)

    Well, I picked up a first edition copy of this novel at an antique store a few years back and finally read it (as part of my summer camper reading). First, this is the first original Star Trek novel ever written. And the only original novel written during the original series run. I've read in...

    Star Trek: The Galactic Whirlpool by David Gerrold (1980)

    I've had this book since it's 1989 reprinting (I only know because this was the only Bantam novel I got brand new and that was the printing date). I had read it back then but largely forgot about it. So as part of my "summer" Star Trek reading I decided to re-read this along with all the other...

    Star Trek: Mere Anarchy (Omnibus 2009)

    "Things Fall Apart" by Dayton Ward & Kevin Dilmore: I started reading my Omnibus print edition of Mere Anarchy. Unlike my review of my Day of Honor omnibus, where I reviewed each novel of the series separately (mostly because they were full size novels in that case), this time I decided to...

    Star Trek: Voyager #13: "The Black Shore" by Greg Cox

    This novel was released in 1997 and takes place during Voyager's 3rd season (Stardate 49175) and mention is made of them moving beyond Kazon space. Interestingly this is Greg Cox's first solo Star Trek novel (lucky #13 no less). I was looking forward to this book because IIRC this is Greg's only...

    Star Trek: Day of Honor: Honor Bound by Diane Gallagher

    I just completed by Day of Honor omnibus. The final book was a young adult book. It's actually the only young adult Star Trek book I've read. It's probably not something I would have picked up on its own, not because I don't like young adult books, just they aren't something I usually take time...
