Your Favorite Lost Era Novel

I also appreciated the little cameo the characters had in a historical report in A Singular Destiny.

I line-edited Well of Souls, and really enjoyed it. I generally enjoy Ilsa's darker take on the Trek universe -- I think her Morgan Primus story in No Limits is a masterpiece -- and I couldn't resist throwing that easter egg into ASD.

I also enjoyed Well of Souls. It was a darker take and I liked that. It wish we had seen more of that crew.

I think about reading Well of Souls some time in the future. It is the only one missing in my TLE collection. And I want to read more about Rachel Garrett. I liked her appearance in Vulcan´s Heart, even though it was short and I knew what would happen with the Enterprise-C. Obviously, Well of Souls is one of the least popular TLE novels.

Well of Souls is also quite refreshing from the standpoint of being a complete novel that has absolutely nothing to do with that starship's single canonical appearance, "Yesterday's Enterprise." The Narendra III incident, while admittedly of immense long-term historical importance, was surely not the only significant mission during the Enterprise-C's service record, and this novel gives that legacy some room to breathe.

So many Christopher Pike stories, for example, are tethered directly to the events of "The Cage" (the major common Pike reference-point every ST fan knows) to one extent or another, so this story being permitted to be its own thing is rather nice.

I think The Art of the Impossible is my favorite TrekLit ever, actually. For a long time it was Imzadi, just because I'd read it a billion times, but I really, really, really liked TAotI. Like, a lot. I won't embarrass myself by gushing further.

Same here. This poll was multiple choice, but I didn´t phrase the question accordingly.

It should have been: ....Novels....
