Is There A Comprehensive List of Captain Pikes Adventures?

[Knight Templar]

Of course, all of Captain Pikes adventures are in Trek Literature (aside from The Cage) so is there a list of all his adventures in novels, short stories, and comics?

I recall a few such as the a few of the comics, and novels like "Vulcan's Glory" and "Legacy" if I recall the names properly

The most prominent appearances I know of are the 17 issue Early Voyages Marvel comic series, Vulcan's Glory, The Captain's Table: Where Sea Meets Sky, and The Children of Kings. I haven't read it yet so I don't know if Pike is actually in it, but The Rift deals with events that occurred during Pike's command of the Enterprise.
And there are two books that I know of the feature an alternate universe version of Pike, the novelization of the JJ Abrams movie, and the Myriad Universes novella A Less Perfect Union.
There have probably been other appearances by Pike over the years but those are the only ones I can come up with off the top of my head.

Where Sea Meets Sky is a great book.

Pike is indeed in The Rift - the Pike era stuff is roughly a quarter of the book.

Legacy by Michael Jan Friedman contains flashbacks to numerous events during Pike's command of the Enterprise. There's also "Conflicting Natures" by Jerry Oltion in the Enterprise Logs anthology. And of course there's Burning Dreams, the biographical Christopher Pike novel by Margaret Wander Bonanno.

Appearances by Pike in DC Comics include Volume 1 Annual 1, "All Those Years Ago..."; Volume 1 Annual 2, "The Final Voyage"; Volume 2 Annual 4, "To Walk the Night"; and Vol. 2 #61, "Door in the Cage." Pike also appeared in issues 9-10 of Marvel's Starfleet Academy series, and in IDW's Spock: Reflections, Alien Spotlight: Orions, and Captain's Log: Pike.

The Mirror Universe version of Pike is seen in IDW's Mirror Images comic and in Bonanno's "The Greater Good" in Mirror Universe: Shards and Shadows (though those are incompatible versions of the same event, Kirk taking command from Pike).

Isn't Pike in the IDW series Star Trek: Crew? I know it focuses on Number One.

Ahh, yes, he is in a couple of issues of that, as Robert April's "Number One" on the Enterprise.

Damn, I can't believe I forgot those. I know of or read most of them.

Pike appears in the short story "Sins of the Mother" in the Lives of Dax collection. That and the IDW comics Chris mentioned Alien Spotlight: Orions and Captain's Log: Pike make a nice, loose trilogy of Fleet Captain Pike stories that lead into Menagerie. As well, the IDW Comic Alien Spotlight: Vulcans features an early story of Spock on the 1701 under Pike. That is interesting that Pike features in quite a bit of IDW's stuff. Movie synergy, eh?

I remember starting Children of Kings when it came out, but not really grooving to the story. As well, I remember thinking some of the characterizations were off and it didn't seem to mesh with the other Pike stories I read, which aren't necessarily consistent but offer a similar vision.

I haven't thought about Robert April in awhile. I will have to read some stories about him sometime.

There's also the story "A Private Anecdote" in the first Strange New Worlds anthology, taking place inside Pike's head just before the events of "The Menagerie." I'm not aware of any other Pike appearances in SNW.

I loathe that story. I was more interested in Pike stories from before his accident anyway.

How good was the Pike adventure recounted in his "Captain's Table" book?

"Final Frontier" is very cool! I love the portrayal of cardigan-wearing April, and the future Mrs April, Dr Sarah Poole. Try and get a first printing: they are depicted on the inside second cover. But omitted from the reprints. James Doohan's audio version is excellent, too. At the end, he does the familiar Kirk opening monolog from TOS, as narrated by the British-accented April.

The novel, "Best Destiny" is less popular as a novel, but still has some cool Carey-written Aprils.

The brief "Constitution Class Launched" article in the Goldstein's "Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology" is worth a look, as is "Star Trek Log Seven", which fills to novel-length the adaptation of "The Counter-clock Incident" (TAS) with all-new extended adventures and flashback scenes with the Aprils.

It's one of the best exploration trek stories.
