Weirdest Trek novel

[Timewalker]

On the subject of DS9 novels, Fallen Heroes had me literally yelling at the book, "Don't go in there, don't touch that, you're gonna die!" and hoping they wouldn't...

But of course they did, and then I'd yell, "You <censored> idiot!"

Why don't characters ever listen to the readers?

DS9: "Lust's Latinum Lost (and Found)" by Terry J. Erdmann and Paula M. Block felt super weird to me when I read it, and it hasn't bubbled up on my reread list yet. It's a DS9 story from the perspective of a Ferengi apprentice, and delves into the backstory of Vulcan Love Slave. I don't mean weird in a bad way, just feeling really unusual.

I love this novel because it's so out there. Quark must acquire some highly sought after porn.

One of her science fiction novels, Black Fire (Simon and Schuster) was on the bestseller list and was chosen the best Star Trek novel published in the first 25 years of Star Trek.

Chosen by whom, exactly?

I kid. I seem to remember liking Black Fire when I read it... but I was a kid. No idea how much I might appreciate it today.
