Hey it's not just you, the majority of people on the boards here seem to love AotF.You know, there are times when I wonder about my own tastes versus what are evidently those of the larger book-buying public. Because there also was apparently too little audience interest for a follow-up to Articles of the Federation, my other big favourite of recent years...
One of Titan's two assistant counselors, a member of the S'ti'ach species, whose physical description is strongly reminiscent of the Disney character "Stitch."
[You were 6 or 7 while TNG was on the air??
Oh, Thrawn, I feel so old...According to the premier date on Memory Alpha, I was only 2 weeks old when TNG premiered.
Pardon me, I'm just going to go kill myself....
Just to compound your agony, I wasn't even born when TNG premiered

LOL
Me, I was about four when TNG was launched in the states (not sure when the first broadcast on British TV was) but I wasn't even born until after the Original Star Wars Trilogy had been released.
A friend of mine boasts he was conceived during a boring bit of the premiere of "Encounter at Farpoint".
First ST books I read were the Invasion crossover books.
Bought all four in the shop at the same time as they sounded cool from the blurb. Would have been around 15/16 at the time. Cant say I found the books to be overally good and didnt read any others until I bought the Destiny trilogy a couple of weeks ago, which were much better.

You guys are all making me feel old!

I was six when TNG premiered too, but twice that when I actually started watching.
As for the first book I read, I believe it was Shell Game. Bought it and the Emissary novelization at the same time, but all I knew of Kirk's crew at the time was pretty much from The Undiscovered Country, so I read Shell Game first. I remember liking it welle nough once I got into it.
When I was about 9 or 10, my father sent me a box old TOS and TNG novels. Amongst them were Vendetta and Spock's World. I don't remember which one I read first, but one of those was my first adult Trek novel.
My VERY first Trek novel, though, was Star Trek: The Next Generation: Starfleet Academy #1, Worf's First Adventure, by Peter David. Read that one in fourth grade.
Interestingly, that novel introduced several characters that were later used throughout David's New Frontier series. I have to say, to this day, there's something strange about reading about the sex lives of characters that I was first introduced to as a fourth grader in a children's novel!
