Star Trek Enterprise: Rise of the Federation
I thought the post-finale series of Star Trek: Enterprise books was finished. Written exclusively by Andy Mangels & Michael A. Martin (and, in the later books, by Mr. Martin solo), this post-finale Enterprise series had gotten off to a great start. They cleverly undid the stupid
Star Trek Revelation and Dust
I have written often on this site about Pocket Books’ spectacular series of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novels, that continued the story of the characters from that great TV show (the best of the Star Trek series, in my opinion), beyond the series finale. There were about a doz
Returning to Star Trek: New Frontier (Part Three)
I have been having a great time diving back into Peter David’s terrific Star Trek: New Frontier series of novels. Click here for my overview of the series, and here for my thoughts on several of Mr. David’s most recent New Frontier novels. Having caught up with the Ne
Returning to Star Trek: New Frontier (Part Two)
As I wrote about earlier this week, I have recently re-immersed myself in Peter David’s terrific Star Trek: New Frontier novels! Stone and Anvil — This novel, published back in 2003, is one of my very favorite of Mr. David’s New Frontier novels. It proved to be a w
Returning to Star Trek: New Frontier
About twenty years ago, I started reading the Star Trek novels published by Pocket Books. At the time, Star Trek: The Next Generation was on the air, probably in the second or third season. There were no other spin-off shows, and only four Trek movies. I’d seen those four
Star Trek: The Next Generation Continues… (Part II)
Last week I wrote about the first two books in Pocket Books’ re-launch of the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel series, set after the final canonical on-screen Next Gen adventure, the (truly terrible) film Star Trek: Nemesis. Here are my thoughts on books two and three of t
Star Trek: The Next Generation Continues… (Part I)
As readers of this site clearly know, I am something of a Star Trek fan. Grin! Ever since I was a kid, I enjoyed reading the various Star Trek novels published by Pocket Books, but over the past decade I have found the Trek books to be particularly enjoyable, and they have become
Star Trek: Allegiance in Exile
I have really enjoyed all of the Star Trek novels written by David R. George III. Just a few weeks ago, I heaped enormous praise upon his “Lost Era” novel, Serpents Among the Ruins, that depicted “The Tomed Incident” and a story of the Enterprise B. I also
Star Trek The Lost Era (Book 3): The Art of the Impossible (2328-2346)
After re-reading Excelsior: Forged in Fire (the story of how Hikaru Sulu became the captain of the USS Excelsior, as well as the backstory behind Kor, Kang, and Koloth’s connection with Dax as seen in the DS9 episode “Blood Oath”) and Serpents Among the Ruins (the st
Star Trek The Lost Era (Book 2): Serpents Among The Ruins (2311)
Well over a year ago, I re-read The Sundered, the first book in the Lost Years six-book series, published by Pocket Books about a decade ago, that set out to depict events of the “lost” seventy years or so between the last on-screen adventure of Captain Kirk and co. (the l
