I just finished "A Stitch in Time" and started looking for some other Trek books.

Ended up buying the Millennium trilogy and the Destiny Trilogy.

Was going to start reading Millennium, but when I read the preview/prologue for Destiny before I bought it, it started out with Sisko and Jadzia discovering the derelict remains of the NX-02 Columbia in the Gamma Quadrant, and I was hooked and had to buy/continue reading that one.

Which ones have you read? Any other recommendations?

Oh, also, I'm gonna slightly plug ebooks [dot] com since they have a huge selection of DRM-free books, and all of the Trek books I was looking at were available without DRM. Saves me the hassle of jailbreaking an Amazon purchase or buying it from Amazon and pirating a DRM-free version I can actually use.

DS9 Millennium

Bought that trilogy and will read it after ST: Destiny

New Frontier series

That one was also recommended. It's in the wish list, but I gotta figure out the reading order and buy them in order.

Invasion (4 books)

I didn't even see those when I was looking, but will search for them directly.

The fall (5)

Also on the wish list :)

The buried age

Will check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions, and nice stack/collection! One of the drawbacks of ebooks is they're not great for showing off or filling up a bookcase lol.

The Fall is a multibook ‘event’ in the Relaunch novelverse with each book by a different one of the regular authors.

It comes after Destiny and the Typhon Pact series of books.

While I like most of the books in all of these, there’s one author David R. George III whose books I find unbearably dull. He clearly knew his canon cold but his books are long on excessively detailed exposition, and short on dialogue or action. By the time I got to The Fall, I had learned to skip his books and just count on the recaps provided by the other authors.

For invasion, they're randomly sprinkled in each series run. Quick Google search shows there's a collected edition.

Enjoy your reading :D
