    Definitely the TNG series of "A Time to..." has been my favorite. I devoured and burned through the book series twice. The characters and ships were deeply familiar in some pretty dynamic and interesting stories.

    A second would be the Vanguard series. I really got into the characters there and the story was quite unique and engaging.

    The Invasion! series was really good, if anybody has yet to read them. It's a 4 book series that starts with the TOS crew then continues the series through TNG, DS9 and ending with Voyager. Great series.

    There is a nice mix of votes going here which is great but no Titan yet Sad I love that series.

    The Invasion! series was really good, if anybody has yet to read them. It's a 4 book series that starts with the TOS crew then continues the series through TNG, DS9 and ending with Voyager. Great series.
    The TOS one was my favourite, the DS9 one was really difficult to read but it was a decent series.

    I voted TOS.

    When I was younger I was really into it, but I got less and less interested when every novel seemed obligated to have a threat to the whole Federation in it and you needed to read other books to understand what was happening in another.

    I liked it when the Enterprise went to a planet, dealt with whatever was happening and then continued on it's way.

    The TOS one was my favourite, the DS9 one was really difficult to read but it was a decent series.
    I'm with you on both of those. The VOY one was pretty good too, I thought. As for the Titan novels I've only just started reading them but I'm liking them so far.

    I fear my vote doesn't really add to the discussion as I've only read one series so far. I never got into the fiction until after I discovered Enterprise. Since that show ended in such an unsatisfactory manner I felt compelled to seek a "better" ending in the books. I've enjoyed them so far but the real benefit has been realizing how many stories there are still left to discover
