Hello!
I wanted to say hi to everyone in the book forum! I've been lurking for the past few weeks and have found the posts enormously helpful with my own reading order.
My name is Chris, 33 from Cincinnati Ohio. I've spent the last few years reading all the Star Wars novels in order set after Return of the Jedi. The books were a lot of fun but my heart has always missed the Trek universe.
With a reintroduction to the universe via Netflix and a "gotta read it" suggestion from a friend, I jumped back into Trek universe with the Destiny trilogy. While it was clear the characters has gone through some changes I was blown away! I decided to follow up with another trilogy by the same author, Cold Equations. Boy was I lost! I had an idea what was going on, but there were lots of characters I didn't know and it was clear the universe had changed quite a bit!
So I decided to read the Star Trek books in order (sort of) like I had the SW novels. So far I have read the "A time to" series and the Next Gen novels set after Nemesis. The Voyager novels (THANK YOU Kirsten Beyer for getting the band back together), the Gateway series, and some single novels like Articles of the Federation.
Right now I'm reading the DS9 novels, having just started Unity, and really enjoying the characters created for the relaunch.
Up after DS9, the Titan series, rereading the Destiny series, and the Typhon Act. I imagine by then I'll be ready to read "The Fall" storyline. I'd like to read the Vanguard series to be ready for the new Seekers novels, and I keep thinking I'd like to get into the S.C.E books as well as the New Frontier stuff.
So thats my crazy Star Trek novel plan! Glad to be around and hopefully soon I'll have enough books read to jump into the conversation!
