Favorite books to reread over and over

So I have a rotation of the following books

Star Trek Enterprise the first adventure: I love this book because it really drives home. The idea that a new starship commander entering the mix with an established crew is difficult, and sometimes the best relationships are forged through adversity

Final Frontier
- this is a personal favorite because the altar makes the constitution class technology make a lot more sense than the show ever did, and the earlier weaponry and everything on the constitution class starship was brand spanking, new and untested. I would love to see this book made into a movie or a series of episodes


Dreadnought
-I like this one because Federation, most of the time seems to have this white washed were perfect. Everything is amazing façade they put up but we all know this isn’t how life works. I draw a lot of parallels in this book to the attempted Coup on earth in DS9

Battle stations is a good follow up


Best Destiny this is just plain an amazing book Kirk’s first encounter with the enterprise and really putting into perspective just how old the enterprise actually was by Star Trek III
 
I'm going to quote myself from this thread back in 2022:
Oh, gods... There's no way I can pick a favourite, but if I could it would probably be one of my most read - either Diane Carey's Final Frontier, Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens' Prime Directive, Margaret Wander Bonano's Dwellers in the Crucible, TLE: Well of Souls (Ilsa J. Bick), or The Lives of Dax anthology edited by Marco Palmieri.
But then the Vanguard series is absolutely awesome, and I love The Never Ending Sacrifice (Una McCormack), TLE: The Art of the Impossible (Keith R. A. DeCandido), Avatar I & II and Unity (S. D. Perry), and Watching the Clock (Christopher L. Bennett).
... and add Mr Scott's Guide to the Enterprise (Lora Johnson), the TNG Technical Manual (Rick Sternbach and Mike Okuda), and Lower Decks: USS Cerritos Crew Handbook (Chris Farnell).
