Oh. Numbered? OK. I was just naming 2 Star Trek novels I really liked. There've only been 2 numbered novels I've read that I liked...both TOS novels. #49 The Pandora Principle by Carolyn Clowes. The other is #77 Twilight's End by Jerry Oltion.

It does not have to be numbered, I said numbered as most of the books I have not read are from the time when the books were numbered.
I finished Vulcan's forge a few days ago, great book. Just over half way through Imzadi, it is pretty good. I hope the story gets back more towards the time travel stuff in the rest of the book. I can only handle so much text about Riker's chest!

As someone who has read all the Deep Space Numbered novels the finest ones are #2 THE SIEGE by Peter David. It amazes me that this was written before the series even premiered because its dead on with almost everything, tone, charactizations, plots, and actually follows what would become the overall arc of the story quite nicely!
#3 and #6 BLOODLETTER and BETRAYAL follow the early Deep Space Nine tone perfect if thats you bag of nuts.
#5 FALLEN HEROES is is hell of a story, another fine outing, if not a little dark in the sense the everybody dies, but hell its fits perfectly for a Deep Space Outing! It also has Jake playing a major role which was nice to see and well done!
#22 VENGANCE is fun because Worf brother Kurn comes back, this is after his memory is wiped and there is adventure to follow! A fun action packed book!
fianlly the finalie of the DEEP SPACE numbered novels is #28 A STICH IN TIME which is far and away an excellent epilogue for the entire series of DEEP SPACE, set after What You Leave Behind the series finale, this is set from the perpective of Mister GArak writing to his friend Doctor Julian Bashier, and for the first time being brutally honest about his life, and that is esentally what this book is Gararks life story, which is i might say more interesting that u can imaginE! But it doesn't take place til after the series so assuming u want numbered novels because they take place in the universe we know and love as seen on TV, this one is not one of those.
Honorable mention also goes to THE 34th RULE #23.
will be back to suggest other numbered books later! I own many of these, so I have a strong feelings on this subject and would be happy as hell to help! Horray!

Except that it includes something that we now know to have been completely impossible: the destruction of the runabout Rio Grande.
Any reason I shouldn't, say, start at the beginning of the TNG novels and pick my way through? Will my brains explode or anything?
Pocket's put most (if not all) of the older books into eBook format. Though they aren't as cheap as they'd been if you ferreted out a used copy, you do have the bonus of having it instantly and not waiting for media mail shipping.

I'm not so sure the hit/miss ratio's really any different from today's Trek lit.
Yeah, with the old numbered books, I found TOS and TNG were consistently quite enjoyable, if not excellent - and numbered DS9 and VOY were the ones I allowed to pile up unread.
