Hunt for Trek novels

[PianoWizzy]

I'm compiling a list of books I want to read this summer, currently dominated by Star Trek novels. This is what I have so far:
Spock's World
Prime Directive
Federation
The Romulan Way
Yesterday's Son
Ex Machina
The Lost Years
Troublesome Minds
Glass Empires
The Crucible Trilogy
Final Frontier
Best Destiny
Immortal Coil - read but will read again
Buried Age
Countdown


I am open for further suggestions. I am currently looking for:
- Janeway-centric books
- your suggested Q-centric books
- Bashir-centric books [if there are any]

 

[Defcon]

- Janeway-centric books

Mosaic by Jeri Taylor
Fire Ship by Diane Carey

- your suggested Q-centric books

Q-in-Law by Peter David
Q-Squared by Peter David
I, Q by Peter DAvid and John DeLancie
Q&A by Keith R.A. DeCandido

- Bashir-centric books [if there are any]

While some of them feature the good Doctor more than others (for example Abyss, Cathedral and Typhon Pact: Zero Sum Game) the DS9 post finale books show the Doctor's progression as a character after the show ended and it would be best to read the whole series in my opinion, because it could be a bit confusing only reading the Bashir-heavy ones.

For Janeway, you'll want Jeri Taylor's Mosaic. It's her life story.

For Bashir, try Section 31: Abyss. I believe one of the recent Typhon Pact novels is a Bashir-starrer, too.

For Q, there's Peter David's Q Squared, a mashup of four timelines, and there's Grex Cox's Q trilogy (one of which is called Q Space, the others have similar names that elude me at the moment)

Btw, that's a great list! Countdown's a graphic novel, though. You'll also want My Enemy, My Ally - the ending of The Romulan Way won't make much sense unless you've read it first.

BTW, there's also an interesting chapter in The Needs of the Many that deals with bringing back Data. That chapter's kind of a prequel to the Countdown comic.

For Bashir, try Section 31: Shadow.

Shadow is Voyager, I think you mean Abyss.

I believe one of the recent Typhon Pact novels is a Bashir-starrer, too.

As said above: Zero Sum Game.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Oops, my bad. Fixed.

 

[tmclough]

and there's Grex Cox's Q trilogy (one of which is called Q Space, the others have similar names that elude me at the moment)

Q-Space, Q-Zone, and Q-Strike, in that order. Also available as a Signature Edition omnibus, The Q Continuum.

 

[PianoWizzy]

Very cool, guys, thanks

About Countdown, I'm aware that it's a graphic novel, nonetheless, it's on my list. XD

Another vote for Mosaic and Q&A.

Worlds of Ds9 the Trill novel features Bashir & Ezri Dax.

 

[JD]

For Q I'd recommend Q Squared, and Q & A (this is part of the TNG Relaunch, but it is fairly stand alone so you probably could read just it). There are quite a few other Q books, but these are the only 2 I've read so far. As for Bashir, I'd go with Section 31: Abyss (it is part of the DS9 Relaunch, so it might be kinda confusing by itself) Mission Gamma Book 3: Cathedral (a later part of the DS9 Relaunch), "Trill: Unjoined" in Worlds of DS9 (also part of the DS9 Relaunch), and Typhon Pact: Zero Sum Game (a part of both the Typhon Pact miniseries and the post-Destiny arc, it could be read on it's own as long as you're aware that alot of major changes have been brought about recently).

Bashir has a long-lasting role in DS9's "Fallen Heroes".. Also, he and O'Brien lead the Starfleet resistance in DS9 #22, "Vengeance".

Spoiler: Re: Fallen Heroes

He's the one adult who manages to live, IIRC.

 

[Cap'n Crunch]

I may be wrong, but I seem to recall Warchild being pretty Bashir-centric.

Yeah, it was.
