Actually, I have about ten pages left of the very engaging "The Dominion" (WoDS9, Book 3) - so "Warpath" is now at the top of my current "to read" pile.
Today's the day! It's been so hard avoiding spoilers, but I know big things are looming.

There are quite some books in this thread that I haven't read yet... *g*
Among my favourite Trek-books are:
Crucible: McCoy - one of the most emotional books I've read in quite some time, possibly the best Trek-book ever
The Art of the Impossible - just great fun
Time for Yesterday
Sarek
Vulcan's Forge
Once Burned
Metamorphosis
Reunion
Imzadi
Chainmail

Let me just say this before you start reading Warpath --- don't skip the epigraphs. There are clues to what's going on embedded in the verses I selected for that page at the front of the book.
Crucible McCoy, so far the best Trek-book out there
Reap the Whirlwind ("Glass it!"
)
Orions Hounds, biggst portion of "Sense of Wonder" in a Trek-Book
Some others (In no particular order)
A Time to Love, Hate, Kill, Heal, War&Peace (Basically the second half of the Miniseries), vice versa with The Lost Era, here it's the first half (The Sundered, Serpents among the Ruins, The Art of the Impossible). I also loved SCE Wildfire, Articles of the Federation, The Khan-Trilogy (Never understood how those Masterpiece and the at best tolerable Q-Continuum-stuff can actually be from the same person) and TOS Ex Machina and Burning Dreams.

Me? The completist? Skip something?
But I do appreciate the heads-up. Wish me luck...
The "Q Continuum" trilogy just needed tightening. Woulda been great as a duology.
I found the Khan trilogy to be very satisfying. I started reading them mostly out of curiosity, to see how the Eugenics Wars would be handled, and was very impressed. While not a big believer in real-life conspiracy theories and secret-wars, I do think they make for great Science Fiction!
The third volume, the Exile of Khan, was a very different sort of book. I was impressed with how sympathetic Khan was made, without changing his character in a fundamental way. My only grip was that the author felt it neccisary to try and explain that the "15 years ago" Khan spoke of was Ceti Alphan years and that 18 Earth Years had passed, since this discrepancy isn't present in the source material & was created by the Okuda Chronology (That and the fact that Kirk also referred to it being "15 years" since he saw Khan). But that's really a minor criticism for a great book.

Dude, you've rapidly become my favorite author, and not just because we went to the same school, it just seems like you cram so much more into the stories, and i dont just mean word count.
If only you can work a Lt. Tom Clemson into one of the stories i'd be pumped, ha!
Federation - fun fun read, wish this had been made a movie instead, but i'm sure alot feel that way
Art Of the Impossible - quick read, very enjoyable, love the Curzon aspects
Vendetta - rarely have books seemed so epic, i loved the flashes to the USS Repulse and the Ferengi Borg, this and Imzadi got me hooked on PAD, now I've read all the New Frontier books
The Rift - yet another PAD, i wish there were more Pike books out there, any suggestions??

btw I just started getting back into trek lit, and am reading Titan-Sword of Damacles (sorry can't spell) have not finished it but damn its good. Gotta pick up the other books.
Why, thank you. Glad you're liking it.
My favorite Trek book is still the Wrath of Khan novelization.
I'm a big fan of the Gorkon books, the Vanguard series and am in love with Burning Dreams. And, of course, the lovely Titan.
