TNG Era Voyages

[Claudia]

I may be in the minority, but I prefer these earlier "during the series" books than some of the less-than-great post-Nemesis TNG stuff I've read.

I hear you. I just enjoy having the team all together in one place... that's to me the TNG-feeling, or rather why I read books based on TNG.

I was just mentioning somewhere in this forum a few weeks ago that I miss books from the TNG era.
We still have books set during Kirk's original 5 year mission and it would be nice to have the whole crew of the Enterprise D back together again from time to time.

Doomsday World was the very first Trek book I read...my mom came home from a shopping trip with it...I didn't even know at the time (I was 11 or 12) that they made books like that!

Needless to say, it was the beginning of a lot of cash being sent Pocket Books' way...

Others I love:

The Romulan Prize
Metamorphosis
Vendetta
Imzadi
Dark Mirror
The one where the ship is disintegrating...can't remember the title
The one where Wesley and the Ferengi have the latinum counterfeiting machine

Q-in-Law, oddly enough.

I thought this book was HILARIOUS.

Me too. Funny thing is, I wasn't a big Q fan the first time I read it. Which left that book as mty favorite with Q for a while. So even if PAD's characterization was off, it's partly his fault that started to change.

Vendetta was terrific. That sticks out as my favorite.

God,I really must dig out these books again.
The ones that spring to mind would be "A rock and a hard place"
"Masks"
"The Romulan prize"
"A call to darkness"

"The peacekeepers" however sticks in my mind for quite different reasons...

Exactly. That's always been my point. The TOS novels tell stories both during the series and during the movies, as well as what the crew did during the 80 year "Lost Era" period, but the TNG novels focus exclusively on the post Nemesis era. As does DS9 which has been over for ten years now. Not this this is a bad thing, those boks have been good, I just wish there would be more of a balance.

And now to answer the OP:

Q-Squared and Dark Mirror were two excellent novels.

I'll chime in with a vote for one of my first-favorite TNG novels: Immortal Coil.

I think it was my second-Trek novel read ever (after Imzadi, also a favorite) and I was just hooked - a kind of compendium of all the Artificial Intelligences that Trek has trotted out over the years, and a Data-centric detective story, which appealed to me at the time. Perhaps reading it for the first time Post-Nemesis it would lose something, but perhaps not!

ugh, i hate Peter David. Reads like fanwank comic books.SUch ludacris soap opera garbage.

Really? I don't remember any rappers in his books at all.

Ludacris is actually a pretty decent actor...I bet he could make a soap opera work.

With the cancellation of As the World Turns, however, he has one fewer option--and ironically, it's the one with the most Star Trek-sounding title.

No, that would be As the Singularity Condenses.

Or,

"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Stardates of Our Lifecycles."
