savagediana 0 Posted January 25, 2007 I have never before read a Star Trek book. If I were to read one--one that would ideally make me want to read more--which one would it be? I know that there are duds in all franchises. I would hate to randomly choose one and have it end up being one of those. Therefore I ask for informed recommendations on which one Star Trek book I should read. Diana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted January 25, 2007 A lot depends on which series is your favorite. If you like TOS, then I would wholeheartedly recommend "The Eugenics Wars". It is 3 books long and covers the whole history of Khan and how he came to be. The interesting part of this book is that just about any character from any of the series who lived in the 20-21st century or had time travel capability is in this book. Once you start reading it, you can't put it down. I have read hundreds of Trek books and this one is the best hands down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savagediana 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Thanks so much! My favourite series is actually TNG, but that does sound really good. I'll definitely look into those. :blink: Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted February 13, 2007 I remember three good TNG novels Dark Mirror, The Devil's Heart & Kahless All were originally Hardcover novels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
v_seven 0 Posted February 13, 2007 I'm a TNG fan aslo, but the best Star Trek I read is Voyagers 'Pathways'. I read alot and most of the writers know the characters so well that you feel like you are watching a long lost episode, when you thought you'd seen them all... it can be real exciting...Enjoy :blink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen of Borg 2 Posted February 13, 2007 for TNG fans, I would recommend Dark Mirror or I,Q Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gummy 0 Posted March 15, 2007 I read very few Trek Books, but my favorites (and I have all of them) are the ones co-written by William Shatner and The Stevens'. I like them because Shatner adds his perspective as Kirk in them and they're all pretty entertaining (IMO). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoveMalePecs1 0 Posted March 15, 2007 A non Trek book was called "Tek War" that got turned into a short lived t.v series and William Shatner was in it as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gummy 0 Posted March 15, 2007 A non Trek book was called "Tek War" that got turned into a short lived t.v series and William Shatner was in it as well. I remember Tek Wars. Greg Evigan was in the lead role. I remember the show being on the air, but I also remember that it didn't last very long. The books themselves won numerous awards. The show didn't fare as well.

TripLives 0 Posted September 11, 2007 I know this is a rather old topic but I read a lot of Trek books so I thought I'd give some recommendations. From TOS I really liked "Flag Full Of Stars" & "Timetrap." From TNG, "The Children Of Hamlin" is pretty good. I'm currently reading "The Valiant," which portarys Picard as a Lt. on the Stargazer. It's the first Stargazer novel. So far I would recommend it as well. "Mosaic," from Voyager is a good read if you want to know the history of Janeway. I haven't read any DS9(as it's my least favorite of all the Treks) or Enterprise books, though I do plan on reading, "The Good That Men Do." I've heard it brings Trip back after the end of the show. Can't wait to get that one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
