Where to go after the "A Time to..." series?

[yogaflame13]

I just finished reading the "A Time to..." TNG series and really enjoyed it, but...where am I supposed to go now??? I have seen some books that are supposed to take place after, such as Death in Winter, the Destiny series and the Titan series, but is there a certain order that is supposed to be followed, or a guide online somewhere that shows all the options? haha, sorry if this is a dumb question, but I appreciate the help!!

Thanks!

It's all entangled; here's the reading order from there:

TNG: Death In Winter
Titan: Taking Wing
Titan: The Red King
Articles Of The Federation
Titan: Orion's Hounds
TNG: Resistance
TNG: Q & A
TNG: Before Dishonor
Titan: Sword Of Damocles
TNG: Greater Than The Sum
Destiny trilogy
TNG: Losing The Peace
A Singular Destiny
VOY: Full Circle (not necessary, but even if you don't like Voyager, read it, it's amazing.)
VOY: Unworthy (ditto)
Titan: Over A Torrent Sea
Titan: Synthesis
Typhon Pact miniseries (being published now)

In general, Memory Beta is the site you want to use for finding reading order for various series, but beware the occasional spoiler.

And of course, you can skip just about anything if you really hate it or can't find it; anything necessary will be summarized in later novels. Possible exceptions: you probably don't want to miss Greater Than The Sum, Destiny, or A Singular Destiny, and Full Circle is extremely important if you want to keep going with Voyager.

For the record, the Typhon Pact miniseries also refers back heavily to the Deep Space Nine post-finale novels. Search "Deep Space Nine Relaunch" on Memory Beta to find more info about that series. But as I said, don't freak out if you don't want to take on another series; anything necessary will be summarized when it comes up.

The TrekLit FAQs will help, too.

If in doubt, check each book for its publication date and read them in that order. That's how most of us avid completists did it, as they came out.

Awesome thanks so much for the info!! I loved all the Trek series, and being able to see what happens to all the characters after Nemesis/DS9 ended should be pretty fun. Are these books considered canon at all, or not? I guess they probably won't be making anymore movies/TV series with these characters anyway at this point so it probably doesn't matter, but I was just curious...

No, not canon.

But (aside from the Star Trek Online tie in The Needs Of The Many, and the slightly older novels written by William Shatner and the Reeves-Stevenses) they're all in the same continuity, the events of each book are binding on the others, and there's no reason to even suspect that will stop any time soon.

And like you say, it's not like it matters anyway.

The sticky thread Charting the Novel-verse at the top of this forum will be very helpful also.
