At the moment the Rise of the Federation series is just:
A Choice of Futures
Tower of Babel
Uncertain Logic
The next book in the series (Live by the Code) comes out next year. I like the series overall but so far think that each book is weaker than the one before it.
I must admit I found Uncertain Logic to be a bit of a let down, for me the B story was the strongest bit of the book but the resolution was disappointing and I felt the author could have done a lot more with it. As for the A story the Vulcans seemed to flip flop constantly as to their views and I think that there was too much similarity with the DS9 relaunch and Typhon Pact novels with the Andorians which I feel was done better.

Just finished reading the Romulan War series and up to Tower of Babel. Started on Uncertain Logic a few days ago but haven't continued yet.
It's actually great knowing the intervening years between the ENT and TOS TV series, what were the politics, how did the members came together, who were the first members after the founding of the Federation.
I also agree that the sequel novel is weaker than the previous one. I like Choice better than Babel, and though a different series, Romulan War series is better than Choice. In fairness, it was the Romulan War that prompted the formation of the Federation, while the Rise of the Federation series is telling us the problems of a newly born space-nation.
I hope the next book, Live by the Code, will finally tell the story how the Federation found its identity. Its ideals. These are the constant issues in Choice, and further pushed to the front in Babel. I'm not sure with Logic yet, since I barely started it, but it does appear to be too Vulcan centric. Then again, we know in TOS onwards, the Vulcan were transformed completely to follow logic, but in ENT's time and early days of Federation, they weren't yet.
Hopefully, I'll enjoy Uncertain Logic.
