    I've read a few of them, not from any particular series or timeline though. I'd have to say my favourite would have to be Spock's World, Vulcans Forge and Vulcans Heart. (Maybe I just like Spock books?) My main Romulan character was named and given a backstory based on the novel "The Romulan Prize". I would say the DS9 trilogy "Millennium" was my least favourite novel(s). I just didn't care for the story that those books told.

    Anyway, I do with a book section would be nice and possibly a collectibles, it opens up for a wider range of Trek discussions Smile

    Q-Squared is my all time favorite Star Trek novel. I have it on my desk right now and was about to start reading it again while the server is down

    I don't read anything really as I struggle with reading due to having dyslexia. It takes me a very long time to read articles and I normally have to read it more than once. As of such I don't particularly read novels.

    I own about 80% of all Star Trek novels written. I have them double stacked (up and back) on two tall bookcases.

    I really like DS9 books, I personally find strange as DS9 was one of my lest favourite series until recently but I really like the New Frontier series tho I always at lest once a month read the Double Helix series. Just something about tying all 4 pre-enterprise series together just really makes them that much more good in my eyes

    I've been following the Typhon Pact series, and then "The Fall" stuff, which was very dark.
