"Destiny", by David Mack. Since then I have read about sixty other trek novels. I am enjoying the books as much as I did the TV episodes. Great fun
What was your first Star Trek book?
- Thread starter PKS8304
- Start date
A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then, but I have the strongest memory of the first novel that I remember picking up in the library and being interested in. It was Reunion by Michael Jan Friedman and had the Stargazer on the cover so I thought I'd get to read about Picard's time on the Stargazer. Boy was I disappointed and the Stargazer series was 11 years away!!!!
Bok2384, you may enjoy "Star Trek: TNG: The Lost Era: The Buried Age", if you are a Stargazer/Picard fan. It details the 9 years of Picards life between his two commands. It's written by Chris Bennet. Fun read.
Thanks for the suggestion, Patrick.
I read The Buried Age when it was released in 2007 and I absolutely loved it. Definitely worth a reread what with the 25th Anniversay and all.
Thanks for the suggestion, Patrick.
I should have guessed that you already read it
I just finished it last month myself. Nice to finally find a forum of avid Star Trek readers. I am sure I will get plenty of suggestions too.
"Q Squared" By Peter something
Welcome aboard, Patrick. It is nice to find like minded people and the best thing is that some of the authors are around that gives you an insight into what they were thinking when they wrote their novels.
Thanks for the suggestion, Patrick.
I should have guessed that you already read it
There are always helpful suggestions as well, but, my advice would be to find your own way. After all, not everyone likes the same things and you could end up missing some good stuff.

I have noticed a few of the authors on here which is awesome
David Mack responded to one of my questions in another thread, which was very cool. I tend to read reviews on Amazon or forums such as this before picking up a new book. Though I do know I want to read the next (and last) Vanguard book and Typhon pact book. I'm currently reading ST: SCE: Foundations, by Dayton Ward and Kevin Dillmore. Do they post on this forum too?
That would be DS9 #4, The Big Game, the debut Trek novel of Dean Wesley Smith & Kristine Kathryn Rusch, though they wrote that one under the pseudonym of Sandy Schofield.
I forgot that The Wrath of Khan was a very early one for me. Another early one that was fun to read was How Much for Just the Planet.

I've seen Dayton Ward around here from time to time. Not sure if Kevin Dilmore has posted though.
I'm not entirely sure. In a general sense, I believe it was one of the PAD TNG young readers' books. I remember getting the first Q Continuum book and attempting to read it at the time - and failing! So I imagine that's my first. Though I have stopped and started a few times. I do know that "Do Comets Dream?" was the book I started with a few years ago, and most recently my 3rd attempt at conquering The Millennium Trilogy (the DS9 one) and actually finishing it has pushed me to read a lot of Trek books in the past year.
That's awesome. I see Chris Bennet and Greg Cox on here all the time too. Nice to see they are both so active. The book I recommended to bok2384 was written by Chris in fact.
Thankfully, I read the credits in "ST: The Lost Era: The Art of the Impossible", by Keith DeCandido. In which he thanked the posters on the BBS forum for their help with the book. It made me want to join the forum too
Yep, that's the one.
