The Star Trek Lit-verse Reading Guide

I have a couple of questions, and this seems like the best place ask them.
Are there any specific connections between The Q Contiuum books and the Novelverse?

Maybe somebody made a passing mention to them somewhere, but I don't think they really connected.


Is it possible to reconcile the TNG: Dominion War duology, with the DS9 Reluanch? I had assumed they would have to be separate since the Dominion War books have Ro working with Picard and the Ent-E crew, and then the one of the Avatar books have them encountering each other for the first time since she joined the Maquis. But now I'm confused because Memory Beta has the Dominion War books on the "First Spinter", which is what they call the Novelverse, page for the Enterprise-E and/or Ro.

Memory Beta makes strange choices sometimes. You're right, they're incompatible in how they portray Ro and Picard.


Let me rephrase. Any way I can only see the novels that represent the original Lit-verse? Before the relaunch?

I'm still confused. Generally the term "Lit-verse" is used to apply to the novel continuity that began with the Deep Space Nine Relaunch in 2001, and that also included later "Relaunches" like Voyager and post-Nemesis TNG. So are you asking about the continuity that ran from roughly 2001-2021 and was ended (at least the post-First Contact portion of it) with the Coda trilogy?

If you mean before the 2001 DS9 relaunch, there wasn't a unified novel continuity back then. There was a loose continuity among a number of the Pocket novels in the mid- to late 1980s, but it was abandoned after a lot of it was contradicted by TNG.
 
The best place to find all the interconnected books, from all the different eras, is the site that this thread is about. @ryan123450 has done a great of cataloging all of the connected books and how they fit together.
