What's your favorite Star Trek novel?

View Answers


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 spent much of the 80s reading Trek TOS books. It’s been many years since I read any beyond these favorites of the handful I still own —
Uhura’s Song, The Vulcan Academy Murders, and the first New Voyages collection. Those and Tears of the Singer are actually visible on my bookshelf.

Another fondly remembered one, that I can never recall the title of, is the one set in the past involving the characters from ‘here come the brides.’ It’s in a box but now I feel inclined to dig it out. I probably haven’t read any of the Trek books published after 2000.

I did read the TNG books but never as voraciously nor did I reread as I did with TOS. Beyond knowing I probably liked Peter David’s books I can’t recall anything specific.

I liked Tears of the Singers, too, and The Vulcan Academy Murders.

I don't remember the one you're contemplating unearthing.

My primary fondness is for the TNG books because I started reading the novels period when the show came out, so I read those first and then went back to the TOS ones.
