TOS, TNG or Voyager recs?

[mythicdove]

I haven't read a Star Trek novel since Imzadi, so it's been several years. I wanted to pick up a couple, can anyone recommend some good TOS, TNG or Voyager novels that have come out recently?

Favorite characters are: Picard, Troi, Riker, Kirk, Spock, Janeway and McCoy.

Thanks

Full Circle, the new Voyager post-series novel. freaking brilliant.

Q&A, Before Dishonour, Greater Than the Sum and the Destiny trilogy.

oh, and the Titan series, especially since you like Riker and Troi.

Thank you captcalhoun, I will look for Full Circle. Be curious to see what they wrote after the show went off.

And thanks for Titan as a rec, will check that out too! I saw Q&A in the store Friday, so I will head back and get that this week. Will track down the others too. I appreciate all the recs

And "Crucible: McCoy" for McCoy.

Thank you captcalhoun, I will look for Full Circle. Be curious to see what they wrote after the show went off.

Just for the sake of full information:

There are four novels set after the end of the series, but set before Full Circle: Homecoming, The Farther Shore, Old Wounds and Enemy of my Enemy, all written by Christie Golden.

But having said that I wouldn't recommend them.

For Riker and Troi, I repeat the recommendation of the Titan series.

For Picard, I recommend The Buried Age by Christopher L. Bennett, which chronicles Picard's "lost years" between the loss of the Stargazer and his taking command of the Enterprise.

I also recommend the anthology The Sky's the Limit, in particular the stories "'Twould Ring the Bells of Heaven" by Amy Sisson (Troi), "Four Lights" by Keith R.A. DeCandido (Picard), and "Til Death" by Bob Ingersoll & Thom Zahler (Riker).

Another recommendation is the nine-book A Time to... series, which sets up both Nemesis and the Titan series, including what leads Riker to accept a command and Riker and Troi to finally tie the knot.

Picard is the focus also of Death in Winter by Michael Jan Friedman, the first post-Nemesis novel, and there's plenty with him in the others in that series: Resistance by J.M. Dillard, Q & A by KRAD, Before Dishonor by Peter David, and Greater than the Sum by CLB.

Then, for lots of Picard, Riker, and Troi goodness, you have the Destiny trilogy by David Mack. Lotsa shit happens.

For Janeway, there's an older book, Fire Ship by Diane Carey, part of the "Captain's Table" miniseries, which focuses entirely on ol' Kathy. And for Voyager generally, I recommend Distant Shores, a short story anthology, and the String Theory trilogy (Cohesion by Jeffrey Lang, Fusion by Kirsten Beyer, and Evolution by Heather Jarman).

For the Big Three of TOS, I strongly recommend the Crucible trilogy by David R. George III, McCoy: Provenance of Shadows, Spock: The Fire and the Rose, and Kirk: A Star for Every Wandering. Also for Spock and McCoy, there's The Brave and the Bold, a cross-series duology I wrote in 2002 that features those two prominently in both the TOS and TNG portions (and there's plenty of Kirk in the TOS part).

That should keep you going for a while.....

Thank you all so very much for all the recs! I now have my list ready to go Looks like a trip to Barnes and Noble is in order this week! Therin I now have a copy of Crucible: McCoy on order.

Defcon thanks for the additional information on the Voyager novels!

And Keith, I look forward to tracking down your book and reading it, and have added the books you listed to my recs list

If you like Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, then I have to rec Ex Machina by CLB. It taskes place right after the TMP, and is a fantastic read. It gives insight into a time for the TOS that is still kind of a mystery, namely the second five year mission. I also have to rec Mere Anarchy. It was a 6 book series done as ebooks, but it was recently collected and printed under one cover. Great moments for the entire crew and the stories fit in the in-between times
