NordicBearskin 0 Posted July 6, 2003 I am looking to start reading Star Trek books. B) However, I don't know my metaphorical Sovereign class books from my Nova class books. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good (Sovereign, for those who didn't know) book? Thanks. :wacko: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyphrx 0 Posted July 8, 2003 If you're into long reads check out the Eugenic Wars part 1 and part 2, I couldn't put those down. If you're looking for something faster and with a heck of a lot of cross overs check out the two part Brave and the Bold. My personal favorite of all time right now is "In the Name of Honor." Which takes place some time between Star Trek V and Star Trek VI. It's a good read and some old faces are in this one (Korax and Koloth.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NordicBearskin 0 Posted July 11, 2003 Thanks for the suggestions. I'll search 'em on Amazon... A round of applause please Ladies and Gentlemen for Alterego. Seeing my distress over a 'Boking' accident, this stirling paladin rushed to my rescue and changed a severly embarassing 'Bok' to a wise, sophisticated 'Book' in the title.

Yillara Skye 1 Posted August 2, 2003 Me, I really like the novels to the TNG movies, also:Immortal Coil and Metamorphosis(Good books if you are a TNG and Data fan). I also really liked the novelization of Descent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Kirk 1 Posted August 3, 2003 The TOS novel Sarek and TNG Novel Q-squared are two od the best books I've read so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lubak10 0 Posted August 6, 2003 :unsure: If you're a Garak fan then you should get Deep Space Nine: A Stich in Time. It's about Garak's life before, during and after he was on DS9. I LOVED it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabri 0 Posted August 7, 2003 Some of my very favorites are older TOS books: My Enemy, My Ally by Diane Duane (and its sequel, The Romulan Way, but ME,MA is better, IMO), Uhura's Song by Janet Kagan, and How Much For Just the Planet by John Ford. I'm also a fan of Peter David's writing style. His Q-In-Law and Imzadi were great. :unsure: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stardreamer 1 Posted August 13, 2003 I like a lot of the mentioned books - but my all time favouite is TOS "Ishmael" It's such a great story I coud read that over and over again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted August 13, 2003 You're welcome Sasooni! cyphrx Posted on Jul 8 2003, 12:48 PM If you're into long reads check out the Eugenic Wars part 1 and part 2, I couldn't put those down. Agreed! Sasooni, if you like novels with little homage's to TOS try The Eugenics Wars by Greg Cox (I know I know, here I go again!) Here's a quick tidbit; Roberta from TOS episode Assignment Earth is working a mission with Gary 7 undercover at a bookstore, a couple of Khan's thugs enter and start a fight, Roberta... Click for Spoiler: ... pick's up a book to throw at one of them but not just any book, it's, "The Book": Mobsters of the Twentieth Century from TOS episode A Piece of the Action.

APW 0 Posted September 16, 2003 I can't call this book the best I've ever read (I can't possible pick a best when it comes to the Trek novels),but the TOS novel "Enterprise" was a really fun read.Obviously,the way the major TOS characters meet each other for the first times and the ship's first mission probably didn't happen the way the book presents the history(in light of facts we've been given since the book was first published).But I liked it a lot.

cyphrx 0 Posted September 23, 2003 I've got a a couple to add here, Their both from the Lost Era series the first one is: Star Trek: The Sundered. It's about Captain Sulu and the Starship Excelsior. The plot has a lot of great TOS allusions and the over all story is very exciting. The book also involves the Tholians and gives us an interesting glimpse of their race. The next one, although just I'm halfway through it, is Star Trek: Serpents Among The Ruins. It involves the Enterprise-B commanded by Captain Harriman. This is a very entertaining book! The story is about the Tomed Incident, which was mention on TNG tv show (I forgot the episode name...i think it was a first season ep.) The character development in this story is superb. All in all I'm enjoying the Lost Era books, and plan on checking out the rest of the series as they come out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lubak10 0 Posted October 6, 2003 If you like the whole "is Data alive" question you should read Sparticus. It was an awsome book! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klingonmike 0 Posted October 12, 2003 My all time favorite Star Trek book is "Crossover" by Michael Jan Friedman, Its a TNG story with some TOS crew involved. Its about a rescue mission to save Ambassador Spock who is being held captive by the Romulins. Captain Picard is sent to the edge of the neutral zone with Admiral McCoy and Scotty,after hearing of Spock's capture steals an old Constitution Class starship (Which was an orbiting museum) and goes to join the rescue. Its a great book that I've read a couple of times now. I highly recommend it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KayTroi 0 Posted January 4, 2004 Start out with some of the Original Star Trek books like Sarek for example. Then read some from all the spin offs of the TOS. 1)Q-In-Law STAR TREK:TNG 2)Warchild STAR TREK:DS9 3)Pathways STAR TREK :VOY 4)Broken Bow STAR TREK:ENT There are many more good STAR TREK books out there but these are my favs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HOBSON1701 0 Posted January 29, 2004 I HAVE READ ABOUT 250 STAR TREK BOOKS, AND FOR SOMEBODY STARTING TO READ STAR TREK BOOKS I WOULD recommend YOU READ THE WILLIAM SHATNER NOVELS, THE FIRST FEW BOOKS HE WROTE WHERE GOOD, THERE NOT THE BEST BUT AS THEY GO ON AND ON THEY BECOME REALLY GOOD. HIS LAST 5 NOVELS HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC. NOW I AM WAITING ON TENDER HOOKS FOR HIS NEXT BOOK, BUT THAT WON'T BE FOR A YEAR NOW (DAMN) :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
v_seven 0 Posted January 30, 2004 I have also read a lot of the books...I started after TNG was over...there are alot of great TNG books but my suggestion to you is Imazdi I & II. and for VOY my fav is Pathways written by Jeri Taylor ...she was a consultant for the show and a great writer. Enjoy! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
