My own reading Marathon, Fall through Coda

And it looks like you're missing #3 and #4 for the Rihanssu books. My Enemy, My Ally is #1, The Romulan Way is #2, and The Empty Chair is #5, you're missing Swordhunt (#3) and Honor Blade (#4).

Although those are really a single book, Swordhunt, that was hastily split into two volumes (not even renumbering the chapters) when the real second half, The Empty Chair, was delayed but they still had to fill the contracted two slots in the schedule. And in between, Swordhunt (along with MEMA & TRW) was rewritten in The Bloodwing Voyages to take place post-TMP when the original 2-volume release was set in the 5-year mission.

Not to mention that the Rihannsu books are part of a continuity that also incorporates two non-Rihannsu books, so the real sequence is The Wounded Sky, My Enemy, My Ally, The Romulan Way, Spock's World, and Swordhunt/The Empty Chair.
 
Strangers from the Sky is one of my favorites of the 80's novels (my other favorite of the era was the aforementioned Uhura's Song). It has been thoroguhly debunked by subsequent established canon about 60 times from Tueday, but it is still an absolutely fascinating and thorougly enjoyable look at an alternate take on Trek history!

Serpents Among the Ruins is, IMO, the best of the Lost Era books and is one of my all-time favorite Trek novels. I mean, any book that could redeem Captain Harriman already has a leg up, but this goes so far beyond that!

Final Frontier is better than Best Destiny, IMO. But, they both are great books!

A lot of other gems (and some no-so-gems) in that haul! You've got some great reading ahead of you!
