Favorite Trek paperbacks

[alicelouise]

1. The Final Reflection by John Ford. The Klingons turned out to be different in future Trek. Still a good read.
2. My Enemy, My Ally by Diane Duane. Good story involving the Romulans.
3. A stitch in Time by Andrew Robinson. The Cardassian point of view.
4. The Vanguard series Star Trek fiction set in the Kirk era but not involving Main Trek Characters.
5. The LIves of Dax by Marco Palmieri biography of the symbiont Dax in various Star Trek eras.
6. The Wounded Sky by Diane Duane a non human scientist tests out a new propulsion system on the Enterprise. The ending reminds me of "Charlotte's Web".

So that being said what are your favorites?

Rising Son by S.D. Perry

I seem to remember there being a fair amount of hate for that book after it came out, but it is one of my favourite's too.

It's probably what you call a "sleeper" hit. People weren't sure if they wanted a whole Jake novel, but the SF plot and new characters were so compelling, and the final events set up the next wave of novels so well. Yeah, it's great.

And I just realized I forgot two "Captain's Table" novels: "VOY: Fire Ship" and "NF: Once Burned".

Haven't read much, but I've enjoyed:

Vanguard Series
New Frontier 1-4
SCE series

T9. Serpents among the Ruins by David R. George III

 

[Art Vandelay]

A Time to Kill/A Time to Hate

If you were referring to my TNG "Time to..." duology, the second title was A Time to Heal.

A Time to Hate was the second volume of Robert Greenberger's duology, which started with A Time to Love.

 

[Starbreaker]

Q-Squared
Immortal Coil
Mission Gamma #1: Twilight
Millennium Trilogy
My Enemy, My Ally
Captain's Table: Fire Ship

Man, this is a tough one... but just to name a few...

In fact, I just started writing a list and realized that most of the Ds9 Relaunch was on it, so I'll state that the whole thing is pretty much gold along with Millenium (especially Twilight, Lives of Dax, Cathedral, Rising Son, Avatar and A Stitch in Time), The Good That Men Do, Serpents Among the Ruins, Fallen Heroes, Greg Cox's Khan books, the New Frontier books...

Plenty more I'm forgetting but I've still yet to have my coffee. heh.

Orion's Hounds
The Buried Age
Andor: Paradigm
Millenium Trilogy
The Shatnerverse's MU trilogy-Spectre, Dark Victory, and Preserver (I bought the paperbacks, so they count )
