Star Trek Novels

*TheCanadiandrome* · 03-01-2012, 02:45 PM

i'm thinking of checking out some Trek Novels and was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions?

I've read a couple that were continuations from events in "Star Trek Generations" and was wondering if there are any other good continuations from events like the endings to Voyager, DS9, TNG and Enterprise. as well as any to do with the Mirror Universe

Sorry, can't help you there. I only read TOS-era books. The movie novelizations are pretty great across the board and are always better than the films themselves.

any good TOS-era books? i'd be into those as well. what i listed was what i'm most familiar with

Well, as I said I think the movie novelizations are quite good. Star Trek III has a ton more material that fleshes out the characters.

Spock's World, Prime Directive, and Probe are all worth checking out. The last one relates to Star Trek IV so it's one of the better ones to ease yourself into.

Here is a comprehensive list of all the Trek novels:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_novels

All the series have had relaunch's to continue the plots after either the TV shows or films. I have read a few of the DS9 books and a few of the Enterprise ones.

All were good so far, I was really pleased with what they did with Enterprise because they figured out a logical way to fix a lot of the plot points that jacked up in the lackluster final episode.

Also if you like Klingon's I highly suggest the Klingon Empire books, and if your Elim Garak fan I also highly suggest "A Stitch in Time" probably one of my favorite Trek books over all.

If you have any used book stores around you too check there I have picked up a lot of my books from there. Also Amazon also usually has then for around 4 buck with price and shipping.

i'm about to donate mine to charity since i doubt i'll ever actually read them. I bought them thinking I would, but I seriously think it was a pipe dream.

I read a couple penned by Shatner. Did you know that Kirk can never die?
