Your favorite Trek Novel?

[KRAD]

I read that book basically in one sitting. Washington Square Park. I remember it because a bum tried to steal my shoes.

I still love that story.

the whole book was born out of a passing line from Bashir on DS9.

Which was?

Xeris mostly got it. When Bashir is treating Garak, the latter expresses distress at being beat up by Drex and his buddies, and says that relations have always been cordial between the Klingons and Cardassians.

"Well," Bashir says, "except for the Betreka Nebula Incident."

"A minor skirmish," Garak says dismissively.

"It lasted eighteen years," Bashir points out.

Still dismissive, Garak says, "It was ages ago."

That was the sum total of what we knew about the incident in question, until I wrote a 100,000-word novel about it.

Peter Davids "Star Trek The Next Generation: Q Squared" is IMO the single greatest piece of writing of any kind.

Being a TNG fan, The Buried Age, is my favourite, because it filled out quite wonderfully, what might have happened in the hiatus that TPTB had determined, before Picard took command of Enterprise D.

I was going from memory. It's been ages since I read/watched that novelisation/episode, but thanks for the correction oh mighty trivia master

It's a brave bum who steals a Klingon fan's shoes.

I have to ask, were you wearing the shoes at the time, 'cos that says a lot about your engagement with KRAD's words if you were.

Yes, I was wearing the shoes, and yes, I was that engrossed in the book.
