Can anyone recommend a good Enterprise book?

[ED-209]

I’m after a Enterprise fix, I haven’t read any of the novels so something that starts as the series ends would be good (or something based within the show). Preferably nothing to old as ill be reading it digitally and old books format horribly for some reason.

Thanks in advance.

Rosetta is my favourite Enterprise novel. It is getting on in age, but should be available digitally.

The good that men do by Andy Mangels and Micheal A. Martin. Enterprise By the Book Kristine Katherine Rusch and Surak's Soul by J.m. Dillard. Daedaluis Children Parts I&2 by Dave Stern Enterpise The Romulan war books by Andy Mangels and Micheal A. Martin. Enterprise The Expanse by J.M Dillard. Enterprise Rise of the federation books by Christopher L. Bennett

This is the relaunch list of Enterprise novels

If you have the time I recommend them all

I love this era as it looks at the formation of the Federation and the issues they faced to determine what the Federation would stand for.

Last Full Measure
The Good That Men Do
Kobayashi Maru 
Beneath the Raptor's Wing (The Romulan War)
To Brave the Storm (The Romulan War)
A Choice of Futures (Rise of the Federation)
Tower of Babel (Rise of the Federation)
Uncertain Logic (Rise of the Federation)
Live by the Code (Rise of the Federation)
Patterns of Interference (Rise of the Federation)

“Broken Bow” is waaaaaaaaaay better in novel form than the TV episode.
“By The Book” is also good.
”Daedalus/Daedalus’ Children” two part story, no relation to the 4th season episode “Daedalus”.
”Rosetta” is also good.

one thing with the relaunch titles is that they go beyond the TV series, so after the “Romulan War” books, the NX-01 is no longer in the books, except for if they go to a museum, so the newer relaunch titles really don’t feature the titular ship.

Last Full Measure

While this is technically part of the relaunch, only the prologue and epilogue take place after the series, the main part of the book is set during the third season. And the prologue and epilogue are set in 2238, so it's pretty far after the rest of the books. It just sets up one element of the actual relaunch books.

“Broken Bow” is waaaaaaaaaay better in novel form than the TV episode.

Wasn't that the one Diane Carey wrote, and she had such contempt for the script she put in a line about what a moron archer was or something, just openly mocking the script at times.

Worth a read just for that

--edit

checked and it was. book has such gems as "No good Starfleet captain would have done this, but Captain Archer was no ordinary Star Trek captain.”

So yeah, worth a read just for Carey's commentary on the script lol

^ Rick Berman and Brannon Braga's onscreen comments regarding Carey's novelization-comments are a major, salty highlight of the documentaries on the ENT Season 1 Blu-ray set.

The Youtube video of Berman and Braga talking about Diane Carey's novelization comments are the highlight of that Enterprise interview . They called the Pocket books Editor to complain about it being in the book and how unhappy they were it ended up in the book .

Last Full Measure
The Good That Men Do
Kobayashi Maru 

Definitely these three. The later books were narratively weak, IMO.

 

[tomswift2002]

I wouldn’t even recommend “Last Full Measure”. It was a pointless book that tried to fit into Season 3.

Am I alone in remembering What Price Honor? as a decent read? It obviously got contradicted by onscreen events immediately, but I seem to remember liking it best out of the pre-relaunch novels.

What Price Honor? was a mess narrative wise. It was terrible. I kept having trouble trying to figure out what was going on.
