Last year millions of Star Trek: The Next Generation fans around the world, myself included, was amazed and excited that the crew of the USS Enterprise under Jean-Luc Picard were finally given a fitting send-off after so many years and, beyond the dreams of many, we were reunited with the NCC-1701-D, which was so cruelly ripped away from us in 1994.
It's not a lie to say that my love off the Star Trek franchise had waned over recent years. The continuity of the new TV shows were replacing the continuity of the Pocket Books novels that had built up from 2001 and brought to a heartbreaking conclusion by David Mack in the excellent Coda trilogy. Season 3 of Star Trek: Picard as well as the excellent Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and underrated Star Trek: Prodigy revitalised my love for Star Trek and I've decided I want to celebrate my 30 years as a fan by delving back into the Novelverse beginning with the series that started it all: Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Using the excellent The Star Trek Lit-verse Reading Guide, I'm going to use my thread to chart my journey through the various adventures of the USS Enterprise and the many other starships and starbases which feature in these stories. While the printed adventures will have a dedicated review post, I will also be do a post with capsule reviews of the episodes set between those adventures if you'll kindly adventure.
Phase One (2363-2364)
Thank you for taking the time to read and, as Captain Jean-Luc Picard once said...
Next Destination:
"Meet with Triumph and Disaster"
