Odyssean Pass Reading Order

[By-Product]

Hi,
What is the correct/best reading of books focusing on the Odyssean Pass? Specifically those with the Enterprise set in the Odyssean Pass and when the Enterprise is recalled to Earth because of some alleged naughtyness, not things like Coda.
I'd like to read that "series" but I'm not really sure where to start or which novels form the series.

My guess is Armageddons Arrow, Headlong Flight, Hearts and Minds and Available Light.... in that order? Have I missed any?

Cheers,

I have no idea what you are talking about.

This is more of a question for the Trek Literature forum, but yeah, you have the correct order, which is simply publication order. Although the Prey trilogy by John Jackson Miller takes place between Armageddon's Arrow and Headlong Flight, kind of interrupting the Odyssean Pass mission for a couple of months, and Available Light is followed by David Mack's Collateral Damage, which is the final book before the Coda trilogy. There's no strong unifying narrative here, just several episodic books with some continuity.

And Hearts and Minds is essentially a conclusion for Dayton Ward's loose "historical" trilogy about alien interventions on 20th and 21st-century Earth, begun in the TOS novels From History's Shadow and Elusive Salvation. Although as I recall, its links to the first two books are relatively tenuous, so it probably works okay on its own.

Christopher is correct, I’ll move this to Trek Lit with a link for further discussion.

Thanks for that.
I didn't realise that the Prey books were related, I'll add them to my read through.

The way the books are related melts my brain a little, its good to see it in order in a single list.

Not really related, just taking place chronologically between those books in the continuity. Because the two authors had different plans for the Enterprise crew, they ended up having to tweak things so that the E was temporarily called back from the Odyssean Pass for the duration of the trilogy, and then went back out. Such is the nature of crossover specials in an ongoing series.
