    Question on timelines (Coda- Oblivion's Gate SPOILERS)

    Hi all, All the talk on splinter timelines, stable or unstable timelines, etc had me thinking - Isn't the Prime Timeline (which the Litverse /"First Splinter" timeline branched out from) in itself a splinter timeline? Looking at the TNG episode Yesterday's Enterprise , my take from it was...

    Question on Richard Arnold and his role

    Reading about Richard Arnold and his role on behalf of Roddenberry (vetting manuscripts, no sequels, recurring plots/characters, etc), I was wondering if there's any information on 2 points - both in general and specifically related to Trek books: 1. was Arnold really working verbatim from...

    Data dismantling Lore post-"Descent"

    I was thinking about how Lore was dismantled and the Emotion Chip removed and "returned" to Data (as intended by Soong, but never actually installed). After Lore was stopped by Data, why wasn't he put on trial? If one Soong-type android had "human" rights, per The Measure of A Man, why was...

    Have the PICARD prequel tie-ins been announced as "Canon"?

    Hi guys, just to get something straight, as part of a discussion elsewhere - Have the Picard: Countdown comicbook mini series or The Last Best Hope novel been announced as "canon" by CBS or any official Trek related person? Or are they "official" until contradicted by future on-screen...

    Recommend Picard-centric novels for someone who's only watched Trek on film and TV

    Hi all, The news regarding Picard's return continues to have an impact and a good friend who's only watched the TV series and films wants to read Picard-centric books before the series arrives.. So, I was wondering what books you'd recommend as those with the best insight on Picard's...

    Plagues of Night and Raise the Dawn – conclusion of the first TP arc

    Hi all, In the RtD review thread, I had posted my thoughts on the subject matter, and would like to hear your thoughts on this. After reading RtD, it seems to me that the recent duology is a perfect endpoint to the extended arc since A Singular Destiny, as it handles these issues / themes...

    Errand of Vengeance / Fury series

    Having just finished the last (sixth) book in this 2-trilogy series, I wanted to write down my thoughts on it while it's all fresh. To start, this is some of the best TOS era series I've come across, providing a darker look at TOS. In my thread about what to read after Vanguard...

    what series would you bring back to conclude?

    The recent conclusion of Vanguard and the Mirror Universe arc, as well as (what seems to be) the ending of Enterprise relaunch with the Romulan War duology, got me thinking about this. Is TrekLit as a whole (Editorial, readership, etc) ready for more close-ended original narratives, spreading...

    After Vanguard - what to read next?

    Hi all, I recently finished the amazing final VAN entry, Storming Heaven, and I find myself with a newfound TOS "itch" (thank you, Mr Mack :rolleyes:). I'm wondering what to (re) read next, as I'm inclined towards a Trek novel showcasing somewhat darker / "heavier" themes, something with a...

    Help me restore my excitement of Trek Lit

    Hi all, I haven't posted a lot lately and I wanted to share a personal opinion which dawned at me a short while ago, when I received VOY: Children of the Storm, Vanguard Declassified and TOS: Cast No Shadow. I finally realized that I hadn’t felt excited –really excited—by a Trek novel in...

    a quick ENT novel reading order (Romulan War) question

    Hi All, I just got the MMBP version of ENT Romulan War (along with new DTI and IFM books! :cool:). I was wondering about the ENT book - should I read Kobayashi Maru (which is quite hard to find for some reason) before Romulan War, or can I skip it altogether? thanks!

    question on DC's TOS series from mid- to late 80's

    I'm not sure this question belongs here, but you guys are the only ones who could probably find an answer so.. :techman: I'd bought a few issues just the other day, and it seems that many issues take place between STIII (TSFS) and STIV (TVH) with Admiral Kirk's crew on the Excelsior, with...

    Do you consider the Typhon Pact series a success?

    Hi all, No poll or anything.. I just wanted to start a discussion about whether the TP mini series itself (not the TP concept) is (was) a success in your opinion, in light of what you think its objectives were. I'm not referring to commercial success, as I don't have information in that...

    Recommendations / Help with older Trek books needed

    Hi all, I found online a lot of books I've missed throughout the years. Unfortunately, I can;t afford to get them all at once, and I wanted your help / recommendations...:confused: My choices are: - TOS: Brother's Keeper Trilogy - VOY: String Theory Trilogy - TOS - New Earth books...

    Michael Jan Friedman novels

    Hi all, I haven't read much of MJF's Trek novels save for Reunion, Death in Winter, Shadows on the Sun and Kahless. AFAIK, MJF is considered one of the reliable, generally well-received, "old guard" of Trek novelists, but I mostly know of his work on DC's TNG series. I remember quite liking...

    I,Q by PAD and John deLancie

    I finally got around to finishing this book, the third in what I consider PAD's "Q Trilogy", and I have to say I came out of it very underwhelmed. PAD's previous Q books (Q-in-Law and especially Q-Squared) were much better, both in terms of action, humor and (again, in Q-Squared) in conveying...

    2013 is DS9's 20th Anniversary...

    ... and seeing as the setting is pretty much "broken" and just seems to be set up for explanations / resolutions (as of Zero Sum Game), what I (personally, not representing anyone other than myself) want to see from Pocket Books is a Duology / Trilogy in the spirit of VOY's Full Circle /...
