Lit GENRES you'd like to see

Not really. I'm mainly just talking about about a collection of the myths and stories, not necessarily the real histories.

Oh, sorry for misreading your post.

I'll admit, I'm mainly interested in the Tamarian stories, but I figured it probably wouldn't be enough draw to get people to buy the book. I was just thinking it would be cool to get some context to what they were referring to in the episode. Who were Darmok and Jalad, why did Shaka's walls fall, who was Temba spreading his arms for?

Kirsten Beyer is probably the author who dealt most with the Tamarian species and language, so maybe if such a book was written by her and featured a "from the author of FULL CIRCLE [or Protectors or any other of her great Voyager novels] and the creative team of STAR TREK DISCOVERY" tag line it might sell better.

A Jack Reacher style novel with a lot of ass-kicking in it.

A spenser style detective novel.

That would actually be rather interesting.

I wish this wrong would be made right. I'd love to see the Vulcan language be as expansive and established as Klingon has become.

This. More language and names.

How about a book done in the style of a baby name book? With names, meanings, famous personages to have these names, variants, etc.

I like the Tom Clancy Mission ops series novels . I like spies and intrigue being explored in the Star trek books.

Haven't we already gotten quite a bit of that with all of the Section 31 stuff?

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

How about an anthology that tells the as-of-yet untold reasons why various Starfleet general orders were established?

In From History's Shadow, I think the chapter where Ms Foster and her sonic pen (Great reference btw) first appeared and wiped Wainwrights recent memory (which seems to be a recurring theme), it was established that MJ-12 had at least twelve (IIRC) encounters with aliens of which we knew like 5. Maybe an anthology about the others would be interesting.

I'd liked to see more Astronomy in the books talking about the new exo planets that have been recently discovered. I liked to see more space exploration in the books.

I second this recommendation.

But, I'm biased.

Have they ever done a pure Dixon Hill story? I've haven't read it, but I do know A Hard Rain was a Dixon Hill holodeck story, so that doesn't count, I'm talking about something not involving Picard or any other future elements.
This ties into another idea I had, a series of in-universe books mentioned in the shows, like Chicago Mobs of the Twenties, Hotel Royale, Anslem, ect.

I was honestly really hoping to see a Chicago Mobs book published by Pocket in 1992; not necessarily even with any Trek branding, a straight-forward book with that title. Missed opportunity, I think.

The only problem with baby names is it might inspire people to name their kids Spock or Worf. Eek.

A series of stories based on this one question; what would the Federation be like if someone other than the Vulcans had made first contact with Cochrane?

Like so :http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/business-universe.282737/

 

[F. King Daniel]

I'd like to see more in-universe autobiographies. I'm halfway through Kirk's and am really enjoying it.

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

A book made up of a series of logs, personal and official.

It's not that exact concept, but we already got something very similar to that.

More on the satire/fun side.

I'd like to see a Deep Space Nine novel with Captain Ben Sisko and his Starship crew being featured in an entire novel . I miss seeing Ben Sisko having a major storyline in the Ds9 books.

That's not really a whole new genre of story that Star Trek hasn't done yet now is it.
