Any Trekkie's out there?

[CapeCodTenor]

Is there anyone here on the Dis who's read any of the Star Trek books and can tell me about them? Basically, I want to know if they are worth reading. I know everyone's tastes are different when it comes to reading, but I just want a general idea.

I'm looking online now and didn't realize how many different series there are from which to choose from. From the original to Voyager and even a couple of others. Another question if I may, within each series, for instance, The Next Generation series, is there a book that starts that whole series off, or can I just choose a book and start reading? Obviously I'll need to keep in mind those books that are trilogies or small cycles within each of the series.

I hope I made sens, and I'd appreciate any and all input.

Well, I haven't read one in a while, but really enjoyed the ones I've read. My best friend has read just about every single novel in each series, and loves them. I could ask her for some recommendations if you'd like?!

I think they are worth reading if you're a real trekkie. Some of the authors are award-winning authors in sci-fi and other genres, so those would be the ones to look for first.

You don't need to start with novel #1 - so long as you pay attention to the multi-book story arcs, you should be fine.

Happy reading, and live long and prosper!

There are different authors, some better than others. I like the classic characters and the Next Generation characters. I haven't come across too many that are a series, so it shouldn't matter which ones you start with.

There are so many that it's hard to say. I always liked the ones by Diane Duane.
