What's your favorite Star Trek novel?



I read all the TOS and TNG novels up through the mid-90s. I haven't read novels for any of the other series.

Uhura's Song by Janet Kagan is my favorite TOS novel. I am still salty that the tag remains unwrangled on AO3. There were a lot of good fic for this novel last Yuletide (mine*cough*mine LOL), and I don't think anybody beyond the recipients knew they were there.

Also loved Dwellers in the Crucible by Margaret Wander Bonnano. Wow, what an iddy, kinky, porny book full of OCs. Very formative for wee!Lorraine.

For TNG, I have a great fondness for all the books written by Peter David, especially the ones that feature Q. His writing is so funny, but then it gut punches you when you're not expecting it.

I also really enjoyed Masks by John Vornholt.

Tell me about your faves.

I don't know if my answer is fair because I didn't read many Trek novels. But Mosaic, the Janeway biography by Jeri Taylor, was absolutely wonderful. It was such a good backstory for her, so many good details and characters. I'm back working on Voyager stories at the moment, and that book is central to two of them.

(Sadly, Pathways, the book for the rest of the crew's backstories, wasn't nearly as good.)
