Reading through the Stargazer series for the first time

[Christopher]

There's also the MJF/Kevin Ryan TNG novel Requiem which has a Stargazer element.

And I don't recall the issue number, but there's an issue of DC's TNG comic which features the Stargazer crew as seen in MJF's work over the years.

I covered those back in post #13.

D'oh! Sorry, I hadn't checked into the thread and was starting from the beginning. Never mind me.

I wasn't "restricted" in addressing Jack's death -- it just wasn't relevant. My brief was to tell the story of what Picard did between the Stargazer and the Enterprise, and Jack died a year or so before the ship was lost, since it was when Wesley was five (per "True Q"). So the only Stargazer-related thing that was relevant to my book was its actual loss.

Really, though, Reunion's version of Jack's death is hard to reconcile with TNG canon, because canon says he died on an away mission while the novel says it was during a spacewalk to repair the ship.

Yeah, it was a good book. I was just stating I would have loved to have seen more of your take on the final years of the Stargazer--which I know wasn't the mandate.

I just grabbed The Valiant online. I've read Reunion and was thinking of grabbing the others in the series if I can find copies in decent shape.

Does this series take place or fit with the Novelverse?

I'd say that's ambiguous. It doesn't directly connect, besides some of the Novelverse tales using Friedman's Stargazer-crew characters. But I don't think there are overt inconsistencies either.

Ok good to know. Thanks, Christopher.

I enjoyed reading the Stargazer books by Michael Jan Friedman. I really liked the one that featured Guinan in the story working with Picard to solve amystery. It's one of my favorite Stargazer novels.
