Which Trek Books Did You Read In One Day?

I read David Mack's A Time To Kill today. It was full of action, I couldn't put it down. Reminded me of the other Trek books I have read in one day.

Q Squared
The Big Game
A Hard Rain


There are probably a couple of others, but these are the ones I remember. Anybody else ever do this?

TNG: A Hard Rain
Ds9: The Siege
DS9: Devil in the Sky (on the drive to Ocean City, from Baltimore, to Annapolis, to Easton, to Sailsbury listening to 99.1 WHFS in the background, a perfect summertime companion)!
TNG: Greater than the Sum: on a SW airlines plane to Tampa (Busch Gardens craving) from BWI
TNG: Contamination
TOS: Covenant of the Crown (such a 18yr old adventure, wonderful youthfulness to this novel)
TOS: Black Fire
TNG: Rougue Saucer (speaking of a product of the 90s, loud : R.E.M. Pearl Jam!) thats how this one felt to me.
 
The only one I can think of right now is KRAD's "Q&A", but it was rather one night than one day, because I had trouble sleeping and a Trek novel is certainly more entertaining than watching the ceiling of the bedroom... ;)
 
Work doesn't permit reading a whole book in one day, but I went through the Myriad Universe trades within 48 hours of purchase.
 
None of them. I usually read a Trek book in 5 or so days. I usually don't have enough time in one day to devote to reading.
 
only the New Frontier novelellas - great for a rainy day or a sick day or Sunday (when youv'e decided to play hookey to church or mass . . . )
 
I've never been able to read a book entirely in one day. I find that I can usually only read for about an hour or two before I find myself needing to do something else. This isn't just Trek books though, it's everything. It doesn't matter how much I love the books, it even worked out that way with the Destiny books, and Harry Potter, which are some of my favorite books ever. For this reason it usually takes me about a week or two to get through the average 300-400 page novel.
 
The Art Of The Impossible.

I remember it well. I read through it while sitting in Washington Square Park a few years ago. I was so engrossed in it, I failed to notice the bum trying to steal my shoes. :lol:
 
I read To Storm Heaven in one sitting--which had less to do with the book, and more to do that I had taken advantage of being alone for the weekend to watch a bunch of horror movies and subsequently staved off the darkness by reading until sunrise. (Apropos of nothing, I was confused by the title for years until I realized it was 'storm' used as a verb. I kept expecting some kind of Valhalla-like stormy heaven.)

Well, I kinda just did it again. Just finished A Time To Heal. I kinda cheated by starting it at 12:30 last night....but I'm done.

Awesome sequel, very good ending.....
 
Both of KRAD's Diplomatic Implausibility:klingon: and Articles of the Federation (24 hr. period). I was able also to read the original 4 New Frontier novellas in a single day as well.
 
Destiny: Gods of Night
Destiny: Mere Mortals
Destiny: Lost Souls
The Good That Men Do
Kobayashi Maru
Full Circle
Before Dishonor
Greater Than the Sum
 
I can only remember one that I completed within a 24 hour period, that was Voyager: Echoes. Others that I read at a pace that was unnaturally fast (for me) but took longer than 1 day were: A Time To Heal, Genesis Wave Book 1, and a few non-trek books (Resident Evil books specifically).
 
I don't remember. Probably one of the short ones like Covenant of the Crown and Yesterday's Son, which means it was a long time ago. Most books take me 4-6 days to finish depending on what else i'm doing that day.
