thanks to everyone for sharing about Star Trek books! i've never given them much thought but just thanks to your posts i've decided to dive in with my first two books!

i'm getting the first book from the Titan series because i've wanted to see Captain Riker since i was kid, and from the SNW series, since i can't get enough of this crew.

thanks all!

I don't read much but the posts got me too! I really want to read the Voyager trilogy that picks up right after they return to the Alpha Quadrant. But true to my millennial nature, I need it free and on my phone, so that's my first project. Leaning towards Libby but I lost my library card, and since my ADHD won't let me do the errand, I'll probably have to torrent

There's an audio series coming Star Trek: Khan, with a helluva cast. I really hope this format works, we could get so much new Trek with original actors voicing their parts. Could be animated later, or not, just so glad they're playing and not shelving the IP

I found the Voyager books when they return to the Alpha Quadrant very frustrating and disappointing. I DNFd the second one.

It seems like the tie-in auto Christie Golden was required (by the IP holder) to break the Voyager crew up and make them experience a great deal of unhappiness.

In the main series of post Voyager 24th century relaunch timeline novels post Nemesis, longstanding author Peter David was obliged to kill Katherine Janeway off in one of the crossover events!

That said, I did really enjoy Kirsten Beyer’s Full Circle Voyager novels. Beyer was eventually given permission to get the Voyager crew back together for a new exploratory mission to the Delta Quadrant with a group of slipstream ships.

Are you talking about the Voyager book Homecoming? I have been meaning to read that one for ages.

I bought it in hardcover and was deeply disappointed.

See my comments above.

There has been no justification for why the IP holders at Paramount insisted that the most crew of the Voyager be miserable once they returned to Earth, but it’s an acknowledged fact at this point.
